FreudPB-008: 1-1/8" (Dia.) Forstner Bit

we use this to make thousands of holes in hard maple. good quality. would recommend

This is the best Forstner bit I have used. Goes through wood cleanly like a hot knife through butter. Recommend highly and will buy this brand again.

cut perfect holes in MDF without getting the bottom side tearing out like a spade bit. Perfect for the job

I've been using Forstner bits for over 50 years. The Freud bit is one of the sharpest, cleanest bits I've ever used. I think I will stick with this brand from now on.

There’s no comparing these fine bits to the cheap Chinese knock-offs that have flooded the market. The Freud forstner bits are worth the investment. You could spend more, but honestly, I wouldn’t know why. I only wish the shanks were longer so I could bore deeper holes.

I have to install locks in cabinets and desks, tried several brands and most fail after a hole or two on the lovely "wood" called particle board. These are still going strong, fit my guides (some brands were too large). They of course they work on better wood types.

Just what I needed to get my projects finished.

Freud has a good reputation with woodworkers and this bit is no exception. It’s sharp, and it cuts cleanly and accurately with no wobbling or burning the wood. Given that the cheapest no-name brands are only a few dollars less, there’s no reason not to buy quality Freud bits. (And stay away from Irwin!)

This is a must buy. I've tried cheaper forstners by Ryobi and Maximum brand by Canadian Tire. This Freud forstner makes those look like children's accessories. I get super clean pencil sharpener like shavings from it while the others cut like they are doing slowly shredding the wood

This is how all tools should be made. I had bought some Mastercraft bits onsale and they were pure junk. These cut quickly in comparison and make a nice smooth hole.High recommend, even though these cost significantly more that other bits.
