6-Pc. Fractional Forstner Bit Set

Drill holes that have extremely smooth sides, a flat bottom, and no surface tear-out. High carbon steel bits are perfect for doweling, mortising, pocket holes, hardware installation and more! Cleanly cut through side grain, end grain — even knots, plywood and composites.

Includes 5/16", 7/16", 9/16", 11/16", 13/16" and 15/16" bits with 3/8" round shanks. Great for instrument mounting, cutting arcs, overlapping holes, and boring through veneer or other thin materials. Bits have two bottom cutting edges that efficiently shear through wood. Exterior cutting rim, along with the inner brad point, keeps the bit in position on the workpiece. As the rim cuts the outside “circle,” the bit’s two bottom edges quickly cut out the inner wood. Wide flute openings allow for fast chip removal. Unique tapered rims help prevent burning. Pre-sharpened and ready to use in any type of wood. For use with a drill press or hand drill. Comes in durable plastic case.

1) Submitted by Adam, from Everett, WA on 3/6/2011 Customer Rating: Needed 7/16 for a jig I'm building to match the outer diameter of a router guide bushing. Picked these up and am pretty impressed. Seemed to cut smoother than my Porter-Cable forstner set, and the price is competitive. Really don't have anything bad to say about these bits.

2) Submitted by Byron Rall, from Norwalk, CT on 10/22/2009 Customer Rating: Worked great right out of the box, even on rock hard blood wood. Just what was needed to mortise in quadrant hinges.

3) Submitted by Delmar Von Eschen, from Shelby, IA on 3/10/2009 Customer Rating: Been looking for 1/16" set for some time. Exactly what I needed. Very satisfied.

4) Submitted by J Wong, from Canton, OH on 1/22/2009 Customer Rating: If it's the same quality of the regular Forstner bits, it's good value. Can't beat the price. Good to have on hand when you ever so need that fractional size.

5) Submitted by Gary A. Ledbetter, from Marysville, CA on 1/22/2009 Customer Rating: Great price and having a small set of Forstner bits with 16th inch progression is what my shop needed.

6) Submitted by Norman Cannon, from North Fort Myers, FL on 1/20/2009 Customer Rating: I purchased these because of the excellent pricing and just had a chance to use them. They performed well. The only question unanswered at this time is durability.

7) Submitted by Ron Evans, from Reynoldsburg, OH on 1/10/2009 Customer Rating: I was unaware that Forstner bits came in 16ths. These will add to my compltete set of standars size purcahse a few years earlier from Rockler. Good quality and cannot beat the price and free shipping. Keep up the very good service and quality products.
