Forstner Drill Bit, 2 Inch Forstner Bit, 2-Inch Forstner Drill Bits for Wood

I had concerns that this would dull quickly but after drilling over 40 holes (albeit in a soft wood) with the drill press, t was still extremely sharp. It is lot better than I expected and I am delighted with it .

Bits cut very smooth clean holes

Good product

They work much better than I would have expected for the price. The box is pretty decent too

Super fast shipping!Perfect bit, sharp, precise. A must have

The list of shortcomings are as follows:1) the external teeth are not sharpen by any means.2) One tooth was terribly bent upon arrival.3) The internal cutting edges already show nicks after cutting 3” of cumulative depth on Butternut so I’m guessing it’s not hardened.4) The center point is not concentric with the OD.5) It would not cut with a lot of force when trying to plunge straight down. I’m not exactly sure what it was getting hung up on but I’m guessing the large center post and dull exterior teeth. The bit required rocking and back forth to get the cutting edge to engage. This resulted in a slightly larger hole than I wanted. This is a waste of money unless you’re using it on construction lumber and don’t care about the final dimensions and finish.The positive trait of this bit was that the OD was exactly 2.00”. This would have been good if it didn’t require the rocking motion to get it to cut opening the hole.

bit Measures 5 thousands larger than 1/2".

Worked great. Used it to cut holes through a stockade fence post. The store only had end posts so I bored all the way through to make a line post. After about 8 holes it seemed to be getting a little dull and harder to cut.

Parfait

Very Happy Thanks
