Only use these bits on a drill press
Includes: 1/4 in., 3/8 in., 1/2 in., 5/8 in., 3/4 in., 7/8 in., 1 in., and 1-3/8 in. bits
A regular brand name 3/4" single Forstner bit was around half price of the set value, I was a bit skeptical however after using the 3/4" to drill 7 holes in natural red oak, I was pleasantly surprised that the quality of the cuts. If you are just a DIYer, this is a fine workpiece otherwise YMMV.

I bought these bits to drill holes when making a tumbler turner. I used them again already, to drill holes in animal blocks to make bird toys. I love this set. Very easy to use.
Thanks, Khat

Disappointing
I bought these for boring out turnings on the lathe. (Pepper mill, salt grinder, etc)
They are not very sharp, especially considering the depth I needed to bore into hardwood.
I had to sharpen the bits for better performance.

decent bits
This is a decent set of bits for the price. Theses aren’t a premium set but if you just need the bit for a few jobs or just a DIYer then i think they are the perfect set for you.

Bought this so i could counter sink a screw and hide it under a piece of dowl rod so no fasteners are visible on a dinning table i made. Worked great. Easy to use. And was nice having all the different sizes to choose from.

disappointed
Dull bits , Poor quality, I was drilling hole in a pine board, hit a knot the bit snapped in half . I would not suggest this product to anyone who likes to do woodwork they will make you very flustered. The holes are not even smooth.

It was the best price for what I needed, but it was very slow drilling through.

Great product. Wished it came in larger sizes. Comes in a handy case. Stays sharp and easy to change out. Used it to make holes in wood trunks and they turned out great.
