Perfect for doweling, mortising, pocket holes, hardware installation and more! Set includes 1/4", 5/16", 3/8", 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8", 11/16", 3/4", 13/16", 7/8", 15/16", 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", 1-5/8", 1-3/4", 1-7/8", 2" and 2-1/8" bits. With 3/8" round shanks. Multi-spurs on bits 1" and larger increase cutting ability and reduce heat build up. Two sharpened inside edges easily cut through all woods and make flat bottomed holes. Polished ground rim and spurs produce smooth hole walls and accurate diameters. Wide flute openings allow fast chip removal. Made of high carbon steel. Comes in attractive wood case.
A good assortment of drill bits in a nice plastic case for a good price. Although I've only used some of the bits so far and on soft wood, the bits worked well and appeared sharp. Drilling deeper holes the bits do warm up. The product was delivered promptly after ordering it. Buy them and start making some holes!

Forstner bits are designed to drill flat bottom or through holes cleanly in end grain, thin stock, veneers and regular stock. They enlarge existing holes with ease and can bore any arc of a circle. These bits will not move off center through unusual grain or knots. Great for mounting mini-quartz clock movements, cup hinges, and door locks. The saw teeth design for larger diameter bits stop burning and cut faster without losing the advantages of Forstner bit action. Includes these HIGH QUALITY STEEL Jumbo bits: 2-1/4" Forstner Bit, 2-3/8" Forstner Bit, 2-1/2" Forstner Bit, 2-5/8" Forstner Bit, 2-3/4" Forstner Bit, 2-7/8" Forstner Bit, 3" Forstner Bit, 3-1/8" Forstner Bit. Shank Size is 1/2" and overall length is 6-3/8. For Drill Press Use.
I needed a couple of large size forstner bits, and I couldn't pass up this deal. They are packaged kind of poorly, such that a few of the cutting tips are chipped, but for the most part they are in good shape, and the ones I have used have cut cleanly. There are certainly better bits available, but for the price these are a fair deal. I would purchase them again.

The DeWalt 29-Piece DW1969 twist drill bit assortment is a professional kit designed to deliver reliable performance across the board. Each bit larger than 1/8-inch features a patented Pilot Point Tip to prevent walking for improved accuracy and better finished products. DeWalt's patented tapered web prevents the frustration caused by broken bits, and a no-spin shank keeps the bits securely positioned, even when working with keyless chucks. As a bonus, the size markings on these bits are located above the shank, so you won't have to worry about wear making them unreadable. To help you stay organized, a useful metal index is included in this kit, along with split point bits from 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch and Pilot Point bits from 9/64-inch to 1/2-inch in 64th-inch increments.
My wife got me this for Christmas. Great set. Have used now for 2 years. Not a problem with a single bit. I use it for home repair, working on vehicles, and building home furniture. I always have what I need and the DeWalt quality bits speaks for itself. I have owned other brand bits and they just don't hold up the same which is why I was in need of a new set. My wife said she saved nearly $15 and got free shipping from Amazon off what was priced at the local box store so that is why I got the 29-piece set. Lucky me!!!! [smile]]

16pc Forstner Bit Set in Handy Carrying Case
First let me caveat the entire review by saying that these are the only Forstner bits that I have used, and so far I have only used them on soft wood. The case is nice if you intend to hang it on the wall, otherwise the wooden box that some other sets come with would probably be more practical. Strangely, the hinge is on the short side, so it takes up a lot of bench space when you open it. From visual inspection, the bits seem to be fairly sharp and cut with moderate precision. Using them on my cheap drill press at the lowest speed setting they seem to drill ok. They drill noticeably slower than a spade bit, but produce a much higher quality hole and without the vibration of a spade bit. On the smaller bits, I would sometimes need to stop drilling because the flutes became packed shut with wood chips and halted the drilling process. It was also nearly impossible to drill precisely concentric circles of different sizes because the pilot point is so short, but I think all Forstner bits would have this problem. I suspect that the bits might need to be sharpened more for use with hardwoods. At least the bits are of good enough quality that sharpening them more might be a worthwhile endeavor (unlike the horror stories I read about some other sets)

PB-107 7 Pcs Precision Shear Forstner Bit Set. Razor-sharp serrated edges give smooth and flat-bottom holes. Sizes 1/4',3/8',1/2',5/8',3/4',7/8'and 1'.Razor-sharp serrated edgesCutting edge produces smooth and flat holesUltra sharp spurHardened steel bodyQuality forged construction
Just a quick note, since I haven't had a chance to try them out: As you would guess but is not clearly stated anywhere, this is the same set as the PB-107B bubble pack, plus a box to keep them from rattling around, which seems worth the few extra dollars. Initial examination indicates good quality and sharpness, no blemishes. Several people have favorably reviewed the PB-107B product and individual bits from the series, and I'm expecting to be similarly impressed with this set. The 5 stars are a guess, and I'll write again if any operational issues turn up.

The Northern Industrial cobalt-coated drill bits are engineered to outlast standard bits. This set includes an extensive range of sizes for a variety of applications. Includes (qty.): 145, Case Included: Yes, Size: Letters A-Z, Numbers 1-60 (plus 30 replacement bits for 41-60), fractional sizes from 1/16 in. to 1/2in., Finish Type: Cobalt
Perfect drill bit set. These things last forever and the package comes with more sizes than you'd ever need. I think it was worth a few extra dollars to go with the cobalt. Substantially cheaper than going to Home Depot or any other store and a much better product. Definitely ordering Northern Industrial products in the future.

The inside cutting plane shaves the hole radius for clean smooth holes without pressure. A removable, replaceable feed screw draws the bit into the gummiest of woods effortlessly. A 7/16'' hex shank provides a secure gripping surface for the drill chuck. The bit is coated with a rust inhibitor. Removable and replaceable feed screw for longer life. Cutting edges can be resharpened.
Regarding the other review - as a plumber in the Virgin islands, I know full well that not only will these bits not eat nails, they are wrecked by them. Cut nails are a much harder and less maliable steel than a regular nail, and also a much harder steel than these bits, which are not carbide. I try to take care not to hit nails when using them. It ruins their cutting edge in seconds. Fortunatle they can be resharpened with a Dremel quickly and I always keep one handy in my truck.If I cannot avoid a nail, I switch to a bimetal hole saw. While the Selfeed is really a Forstner and planes out the whole hole, a hole saw makes it a lot easier to cut around the nail, and these bits are rated for metal as well (although cut nails will probably rip their teeth off). The downside of the hole saw is that most only drill to two inches, and they are much, much slower than Selfeeds. Also, it's tedious to extract the wood core after each hole. A pro keeps both and keeps his eyes open.

Forstner bits are designed to drill flat bottom or through holes cleanly in end grain, thin stock, veneers and regular stock. They enlarge existing holes with ease and can bore any arc of a circle. These bits will not move off center through unusual grain or knots. Great for mounting mini-quartz clock movements, cup hinges, and door locks. Sizes 1/4" to 7/8" bits are supplied with solid rims. The saw teeth design for larger diameter bits (1" and larger) stop burning and cut faster without losing the advantages of Forstner bit action. Includes these HIGH QUALITY STEEL bits: 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", 1-5/8", 1-3/4", 1-7/8", 2", 2-1/8", 2-1/4", 2-3/8", 2-1/2", 2-5/8", 2-3/4", 2-7/8", 3", 3-1/8". Shank size is 3/8" and overall length is 3-1/2" for sizes 1/4" through 2-1/8". For sizes 2-1/4"…
The range of sizes was very impressive and I was anxious to get a set with the larger sizes as well. When the set arrived many of the bits had come out of their storage area, so I was checking them closely to make sure none were damaged in shipping. I discovered many bits with voids in the shanks and even on the cutting edges from extremely poor forging. Many of the bits were not ground properly and no sharp cutting edge had been formed. Overall, the set of bits I received were the poorest quality I've ever seen from any supplier! The good news is I called MLCS and told them about the quality issue and they immediately gave me instructions for returning the set. My account was credited with the refund the day they received the bits.Extremely poor copy of the product, but excellent customer support.

The best Switchblade assortment for the professional plumber. The 5 piece Switchblade plumber's kit contains 4 of the most common self feed bit sizes (1 3/8'', 1 1/2'', 2 1/8'', 2 9/16''), 4 feed screws, 4 set screws, 4 replacement blades (1 3/8'', 1 1/2'', 2 1/8'', 2 9/16''), 1 hex wrench, and a 5 1/2'' x 7/16'' Universal Quik Lok extension. Aggressive feed screw design allows the bit to pull through the wood faster, resulting in a faster drilling. Replacement blades made with hardened steel increases bit life. Size and model number are engraved on each bit. The durable, compact carrying case makes it easy to transport from 1 location to the next. Removable storage case included.
Milwaukee with its Switchblade self-feed hole cutters decided to tackle the problem of nail strikes chipping off the blades by making the blades individually replaceable instead of making a harder or more impact resistant cutting blade. For the most part it works.There are several drawbacks to using the popular selfeed drill bits. One drawback is that they require a lot of drill torque to cut through wood. Even the mighty DeWalt Super Hawg is maxed out at 4-5/8" in soft woods. In hard woods - well forget about it. Another drawback is the speed of cutting which is a little bit faster than a bi-metal hole saw but just barely. A third drawback is that as they take out all the wood for a hole the odds of hitting a nail and damaging the cutter is a lot higher than when using a hole cutter that is removing only the area around the circumference of the hole.The blades are high speed steel so while they hold an edge quite well in soft wood they do not do well in harder materials like plywood, tropical woods like Ipe and Tigerwood, oriented strand board, MDF, or Hardie board. For these hard materials tungsten carbide cutters are needed.Another limitation of all the self-feed drill bits like these from Milwaukee and all the others is that the threaded tip that pulls the cutter through the wood is designed to be used on soft woods in terms of the feed rate it provides. When cutting on hard woods and like materials the screw thread tries to pull the cutter faster than it can actually…

Probably the best forstner bit set I own although for the life of me I can't find what steel these are made from.....Carbon...HSS....I know they are not carbide.....no information on the well made heavy duty case or on the bits either. I hate when all information is not available including where they are made. There is no made in country imprint so they are made in USA? I would think they would be proud of that fact and let you know.
