These bits are the bomb diggity. Carbide tips mean less time sharpening compared to traditional HSS bits. Less time sharpening means more time working, less wear, longer bit life. Seriously, if you're buying bits (drill, router, saw) get a quality product and enjoy working like a pro.
the jig is great when you can't take the piece to the press. I added a 3/8" nylon washer between the stop collar on the bit and the jig. reduces wear, heat, and maintains speed.

Haven't used the drill guide yet, but I have used the Forstner bit in my drill press. The bit cuts like it is butter. I will certainly purchase more of the bits.

I wanted to drill forty four 3/4" holes for dogs in my woodworking bench and wanted them to be straight and perpendicular to the tabletop. I attempted other jigs to do this job, but none were satisfactory for me. This jig, along with the 3/4" long shank carbide Forstner bit worked excellent for me. I am drilling through 2 inches of hardwood and the carbide really helped. Very good product.
