Grizzly H7694 Master Forstner Bit, 31-Piece

I recently bought a router bit set, and when I needed a new size of forstner bit, decided to get a set for that as well. I am extremely impressed with this product. It has every size bit you could possibly need, and the box keeps them neatly organized. The quality of these is as good as any of the individual bits I have, and they cut smoothly and easily. It happened that right after getting these, I needed to drill a number of variously-sized holes for a couple of different projects, so I gave them a good workout. They worked flawlessly. The only downside - and this is only a quibble - is the box can't be wall-mounted, you need to sit it flat on a table when you open it. The price is ridiculously low for what you get. Highly recommended.

No complaints about this set, as all the bits were sharp, organized, and appropriately labeled. You can never go wrong with Grizzly, as I now have several of their products!

I am fairly pleased with this set. Shipping was fast (2 days) and the packaging was good. Inside the shipping box was another unopened (ie. Not a returned set) cardboard box, and inside that box was the wooden box that houses the set of bits. The wooden box is not the best as the smallest 5 or so bits were not seated properly and were probably rattling around a bit during shipping. Still the wooden box is far from the worst case I have seen as none of the bits were damaged and all are clearly marked where they belong in the box. A little more foam to hold the smallest bits would be an easy and cheap fix for the bits becoming unseated in the box. Some nice touches are all bits come with a plastic cap to protect the working end of the bit, all bits have the size stamped on the shank of the bit, and all bits have a hex shaft. Some not-so-great things about the bits are that some of them (at least 3 - I didn't check all of them) have the slightest bit of wobble in the shaft. When spun up in a drill press, bits should look like they are almost standing still as they are spinning, but these had the slightest bit of vibration in them. This causes the bit to chirp as it is plunged and withdrawn from the wood. Also, since I had some time to kill while waiting for a couple of drill batteries to recharge, I thought I would take some measurements of a few of the bits included in this set. All measurements were taken with digital calipers. Here are my results.Bit size, (decimal size), Caliper reading2- 1/8, (2.125), 2.1312-1/16, (2.0625), 2.0692, (2.000), 2.0053/4, (0.750), 0.75311/16, (0.6875), 0.6925/8, (0.625), 0.6329/16, (0.5625), 0.5671/2, (0.500), 0.5057/16, (0.4375), 0.4413/8, (0.375), 0.378So you see what is keeping this from a 5-star review is the fact that my set of bits are a bit on the strong side (yes I checked to make sure the jaws of my caliper were clean). Obviously looking at the other reviews, your results may vary. For comparison, I decided to check some of my Freud forstner bits I had laying around and they were dead on accurate, no kidding. As for the ability of these bits to actually bore a hole, I would say I am satisfied with the results. I wouldn't say they cut like butter, but they are definitely no worse than my other bits; producing a clean hole with a flat bottom.So if you can put up with the bits being off by a few thousands of an inch (I can, but I still might try honing them with some fine grit sandpaper), this may be the set for you. I think it is a pretty good price for what you get.

Very nice set of bits, so far after about 50 holes still nice and sharp. Good value.

I bought this set after it was recommended in one of my magazines as a top value tool. Honestly, I have not owned any forstner bits before, so I have nothing to compare them with. I am quite pleased with them so far. I've used several of the bits, including the largest in the set, a couple of the smallest, and a few in the middle. Most of the work I've done with them has been in hard maple or MDF. They all cut a very nice clean hole, don't burn, and push the removed material out of the way well.I did have the same issue that someone else mentioned where the cardboard outer sleeve was stuck to the wooden case.Overall, I recommend these, especially if you're like me and needed a decent set to get started.

Needed increments by 1/16 inch. This is the only one I could find. Very good bits

these are solid for the money. im a hobbyist and have found these very useful. the box is adequate and i feel there would be some minor changes to it if i designed it but it does keep things together well. the bits are sharp and have been put through some minor work. i would recommend these to anyone

Fair price and fast shipping. It's not the greatest set in the world but it has various sizes and for a basic home user its fine. If you are into a home shop you might want something better. If you are running a business defiantly go with higher quality.

Aunque la calidad del metal es china, es muy util contar con brocas en todas las medidas por un muy bajo costo

Gamme complète de mèches de toutes grandeurs qui coupent quand même bien pour le prix! Le coffret est intéressant pour les garder en place.

VERY GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE PRICE,
