Not everyone needs an extensive collection of Forstner bits. For some people, a Forstner drill bit will be a little-used part of their tool kit. Nevertheless, when the occasion arises, the INTOO Forstner bit set offers an affordable solution when compared to the cost of hiring a tradesperson. While Forstner bits are primarily intended for use in drill presses, they’re frequently used in hand drills as well. When drilling holes for trunking or cabling, for example, Forstner bits cut cleanly and easily. By contrast, a spade bit often judders, making it difficult to control. Forstner bits produce less tear-out, too.A standard twist drill is fine for drilling holes of small diameters, so Forstner bits are not usually found below ¼-inch. Sometimes, the smallest bit in a set will be ½-inch. The largest is usually 2 to 2 ⅛-inch. Although larger Forstner bits are available, they’re usually sold individually as they’re bigger than most people need. Metric Forstner bit sets are also available. These can be very useful when fitting cabinet hinges, for example, as the hardware is often metric. Imperial bits can be close to the same size, but not close enough for a good fit. One or two manufacturers use High Carbon Steel (HCS). HCS is slightly softer than HSS, though the term “softer” has to be taken into context. These bits are still hard enough to drill into wood and wood-based materials. HCS bits won’t cut aluminum and other soft metals, or tile and masonry. Bit Size & Number of Bits Like the brad-point bit, this basic bit has a sharp cutting tip and fluted edges to remove waste when the hole is drilled. The twist bit is a multi-purpose bit that may be used on wood, thin metal, and plastic in the home. Countersink drill bit

Forstner bits are designed for drilling holes in woodworking or construction applications. The Forstner bit is designed specifically to provide deep, accurate holes with little tear out. Most Forstner bits use a cutting lip on the shank that prevents damage to the workpiece and allow the bit to cut cleanly when fully engaged. Can Forstner bits be used in any drills? Some techniques can overcome the problem, but the simple solution for making neat, precise holes is a Forstner drill bit. It has a central point called a spur that is designed for accurate positioning, sharp cutting teeth, and wings to clear waste. As a result, there is seldom the need to cut deep holes in several stages, as you do with standard twist drill bits. Contractors and tradespeople who are regularly employed on new builds or remodeling projects need tools that combine high performance with great value. This Porter-Cable Forstner bit set meets those demands and more. Sizes range from ¼-inch to 2 ⅛-inch bits, offering versatility. The ⅜-inch shank means they’ll fit a wide choice of consumer and professional power and bench drills. The most interesting feature is the design of the teeth. Rather than following the same pattern, they become more aggressive as the sizes increase—providing faster cutting when needed.Saw-tooth Forstner bits have a series of teeth that resemble a coarse saw blade. These are designed for more aggressive cutting and are particularly good for end grain. The Precision Shear design, which was introduced by Freud has a serrated edge with a steep interior angle that produces a very sharp edge, and rapid, chisel-like cutting action. Material
