5/8 in. High-Speed Steel Forstner Bit (1-Piece)

The bit did just exactly what it was intended for. I would repurchase it again. Although the shipping to the correct place was a little tricky it finally came. I have been so excited to use it to hang my bifold doors. It just made the area look amazing.

I bought the Ryobi set of forstner bits a couple of years ago. I needed an 1.25” bit, which was not included in that set. I ran down to HD to pick this one up. Right away I noticed that the blade takes up much more of the circumference vs. the ryobi bits. Then when I used it, wow, so much smoother and faster than my other bits with much cleaner holes. I’ve already purchased two more Diablo bits and am considering replacing all of my bits. Holes are clean and precise, both on the sides and bottom.

Bought this bit today to help make a few jigs. Cut incredibly smooth edges with zero tear out making perfect repeated cuts, easy line up with center point for spot on accuracy and would highly recommend. Note-Adjusted my drill press speed due to large bit size to <1600 rpms (max recommended speed) and worked like a dream.

on the box it says 38.10 mm but actual size 37.73

Cut well for cutting mortises in red oak. Nice shavings. No apparent dulling so far.

Worked very well, smooth cut

Using the 5/8 bit to make slots for 1/2 copper pipe to fit in. It's a perfect cut, perfect size, snug fit. This will be for a shoe rack, and I expect it to turn out quite nicely.

Precision bore at it finest.

Awesome Forstner bit. Did the job perfectly drilling clean cut holes to install my horizontal black stair rails.

Super sharp, shaving one layer at a time. Worth the investment.
