1) Submitted by Mel Johansen, from Glendale, AZ on 5/28/2010 Customer Rating: The wine holder is 36" long, 6" wide and 3.25" thick. The 3.25 diameter forstner bit was perfect for cutting the holes for the bottles. The hole had to be offset and resulted in only a partial cut through the 6" wide material. Another reason to use the sturdy forstner bit. It did not wander one bit (excuse the pun). Wine Bottle Holder (click to see full-size picture in new window)

2) Submitted by Craig Minbiole, from Rochester Hills, MI on 3/18/2010 Customer Rating: All the Forstner bits I have purchased through Rockler have worked well. I'm using them in the construction of children's toys.

3) Submitted by Bill, from Vincennes, IN on 3/13/2010 Customer Rating: I'm building some rocking horses for the grand kids. When it was time to drill for the eyes I couldn't find any bits I need where I lived. I ordered the 20mm forstner bit from Rockler, and it was just what I needed. I would highly recommend this product.

4) Submitted by Donna, from Douglassville, PA on 11/3/2009 Customer Rating: Purchased the 2-7/8" bit to put door handles on sliding doors. It was of great quality and I had no trouble using it. Rockler shipped quickly and I will be using them again.

5) Submitted by Rod Coykendall, from Derby, KS on 9/4/2009 Customer Rating: I purchased a 3 1/8 Forstner bit to drill holes in Aspen wood. The quality of the bit is excellent and the price was unbeatable. Other bits I priced were $45 higher. This was my first order from Rockler and I will definitely be a return customer.

6) Submitted by Bill Cushing, from Cheyenne , WYOMING on 3/24/2009 Customer Rating: I recently purchased the 3 1/4" Forstner bit for a specific project. It makes a perfect clean cut in the logs. Using pine only for now. Thanks Rockler.

7) Submitted by Alfred S., from Slidell, LA on 3/18/2009 Customer Rating: I purchased the 2 3/4" and 3" forstner bits. They cut clean and smooth in cypress or black walnut. They did arrive quickly. I was impressed enough to purchase a sixteen piece set form Rockler.
