7 Pcs. Precision Shear™ Precision Shear™ Serrated Edge Forstner Drill Bit Set 1/4 Inch to 1-Inch.
From the Manufacturer
Precision Shear Forstner Bits feature a double-ground, razor-sharp serrated edge that slices throughout the rotation of the bit for less splintering and chipping, producingflawless flat-bottom holes. This unique geomtric design has multiple cutting edges that produce greater shearing action, allowing for faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Competitive forstner bit designs produce small chips and dust that collect in the cutting area, increasing friction and heat, thus causing the bit to dull quickly. Those designs also create holes with rough edges that require sanding. In addition to serrated edges, Precision Shear Forstner Bits include a hardened steel body for longer life and sharper edge, an ultra sharp spur to ensure accurate holes and less "walking", and steep angled cutting edges to produce holes that are smooth and flat. This set contains 1: 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1", 3/8", 5/8" and 7/8" bits.

Replaced cheap Forstner bits with these and wow what a difference. The cheap bits worked only with heavy pressure and sometimes not at all. These cut quick and clean.

I have used these with my drill press and hand drill. Both grip well to these bits. These bits boar out he wood like butter. I don't have any complaints. Drilled around 120 holes with these for deck railing bars.

not the usual Freud quality ... they leave a clean hole, but they get quite hot and cut slowly even in Monteray pine ... Freud is my brand for sawblades and router bits, which are typically excellent, but these are not up to the usual quality.

Really like the quality. So cool to have the smaller sizes, which I’ve never seen before but imagine might be useful.The only problem is that they come loose. So I 3D printed a box and an insert. The stems click into grooves on the platform and there is plenty of room for the drill bit heads.

Des mèches de très très bonne qualité, la marque FREUD est imbattable. Acheté chez Amazon Warehouse à moitié prix car l'emballage était défectueux. En effet, l'emballage était en partie cassé mais les mèches sont intactes et toutes neuves.J'ai cependant découvert que les mèches étaient en INCH ce qui n'était pas du tout mentionné dans l'annonce même pour le lot neuf; et je trouve cela pas sérieux de la part d'Amazon de ne pas mettre une information aussi importante sur un produit sur l'annonce. J'ai pensé à retourner le lot de mèches, mais j'ai décidé finalement de les garder!J'ai découvert aussi que les mêmes mèches neuves FREUD (made in Austria) vendues sur amazon.fr sont le double du prix que sur amazon.com ! Est-ce normal !!!!!!!

I do most of my work in oak. The bits cut nice and clean without any excessive effort. They need a bit of help with chip clearance but they are not advertised as a bit designed toward that. Glad I got them; a pleasure to use.

These were decently priced. Liked the serrated cutters. Seem sharp ad well made. Went with these due to the price and brand name.

This is not my first set of Forstner bits. I didn't want another cheap, disappointing set of Forstner bits but also didn't want to spend $200+. This set had met my expectations for a reasonably prices starter set of quality bits. They are sharp, cut smoothly and leave very clean flat bottomed holes. I've used them in a drill press and a little in a hand drill with great results every time. The vacuum formed packaging protected the bits from damage in transit but is not a long term storage solution so I'll have to make something for that.

The build quality is exceptional and easily rates a five star but, like at least one other customer has stated, I had a duplicate bit in the set. In my case, the blister pack contained two 7/8" bits but lacked the 1" diameter Forstner bit. Seriously, duplicate product in a series of seven? How hard can that be to get right? Please put someone on the packaging quality control line.UPDATE: 09-28-20 I reached out to FREUD regarding the missing 1" bit and am awaiting a response from their Customer Support staff. Will advise on results when I hear back.UPDATE: 10-09-20 FREUD resolved the issue with no problems whatsoever. A new 1" bit was sent to me by FREUD with their apologies. WDBA++++Recommend that you photograph the problem and contact FREUD directly through their Amazon link if you should experience similar issue with your order.

Brilliant bits,excellent value, the precision shear must be on par with the fisch or colt, cut like a dream in oak, no burning, nice exit hole, handle carefully as they are very sharp, if you compare them to the colt and fisch bits, which will cost you an arm and a leg, precision shear.... just the arm, brilliant bits, won't let my mates anywhere near them.

I was making a new set of jaws for the top of a friends Workmate bench and needed to drill both the dog and mounting holes. I bought this set as I had one forstner bit already and was very impressed with it's performance. These bits are phenomenal, you get the speed and feed right and they'll make beautiful holes all day long. They had no wobble in the chuck and with a sacrificial block underneath tearout was virtually nonexistent. The price is very reasonable and it had every size I needed to duplicate the old particleboard tops in plywood. These drill bits are a keeper!
