Woodline Forstner Bit Set

In the past, we’ve bought Forstner bits like router bits: One at a time, as needed. But for the price of a half-dozen individual bits, we got Woodline’s China-made 20-piece set. The 12 bits smaller than 1" feature smooth cutting rims, while the larger ones have a sawtooth design. Both types cut cleanly with no tear-out as we bored holes in pine, birch plywood, white oak, and even tough-as-nails hickory. As a bonus, the titanium-nitride coating helps reduce dulling from heat buildup.
