Jonathan’s Hot Take: They are one of those tools that are super useful when you need to drill holes bigger than a typical twist drill or with a flat bottom. Every woodworker should own some forstner bits BUT they get beat up. There’s so much steel moving around in a tight location that they get hot and lose their edge after a while (see tips and tricks below to get max life). This is one of those tools that buying super high end is never worth it. I think these mid grade CMT bits are the best value in Forstner Bits. As you know, I believe in bringing you the best value in tools. Sometimes that doesn’t mean the best of the best but the best value. High end bits are 2x-3x more expensive and run the same risks of overheating. You can not beat the price to quality ratio of these forstner bits and if you get the set and dull a bit with heavy use it can easily be replaced by the many individual ones we carry.
