Title: Forstner Bit Set
Post by: ufgator on July 06, 2010, 07:01:40 pm

For those who have a Woodcraft store nearby, I picked up a 16 piece Wood River Forstner Bit Set on sale for $39.49, reg. $78.99.  I believe the sale is on until July 22.  I have a couple of projects coming up that require mini picture frames or mini clocks so this worked out good for me.  Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting; I was planning on going to Rockler today, but I may go to Woodcraft instead.

Those bits are fine but you have to keep them sharp they do not hold their edge, when useing the larger bits always clamp before drilling, I use mine mainly on the lathe for drilling
