Irwin Tools IRWIN Marples Forstner Bit Set, Wood Drilling, 8 Piece (1966892)

I’ve been wanting a set of Forstner bits for a long time and finally had a reason to buy some for a project I’m doing. These are great. They’re sharp, cut great, leave very clean holes requiring no extra cleanup, they cut fast and smooth. The storage case they come in is perfect for keeping them safe and sharp so they’re always ready to use, and the variety of sizes is perfect for me. Very happy with this purchase.

I was looking for a set of forstner bits to cut holes for scroll saw projects. I have used Irwin tools many times in the past and have been satisfied with their quality, so I decided to give the Irwin forstner bits a try after reading the reviews. The case is very well designed. The bits are very sharp and durable. The type of wood I have used the bits on so far has been primarily poplar wood which is a softer hardwood, so I can not attest to how the bits will work with the harder woods, but for what I need them for, they have performed as well if not better than expected. The case that the bits are enclosed in is very secure. Unlike some cases I have had, the bits do not drop out when opened if upside down, they are secure and have to be intentionally removed. It was a very good price and I am very pleased with this forstner bit set. I would highly recommend this bit set.

Good bits, very sharp right out of the box. Cut clean.

These are very nice but they do not fit in a standard diameter router as far as I could tell, so I had to use a drill.

This kit will likely cover most of your home project needs. Strong and reliable, these will fit the bill. Live the storage case too - big plus.

Well made and stand up to the job. I have already used half the bits with no problems.

The Irwin Marples Forster wood bits are sharp and when used properly will make clean cuts. I used them to drill through soft wood project. No drama, just clean cuts using a cordless drill. Recommend.

This was my first set of Forstner bits after struggling with paddle bits for 90% of my life. What a difference! These came with a light coating of oil to prevent corrosion, so be aware of that, but these hog through wood like nothing else. They've allowed me to drill clean holes in thinner plywood that would've otherwise blown out on the backside. You still need to exercise caution when drilling through thin materials, but I do feel like the quality of the holes was far superior to those of any other large bit I've used.

Sharp ,well made and accurate

Irwin est une très bonne marque même leurs pinces. Je l'ai acheté en janvier et pas de rouille jusqu'à présent. J'en ai utilisé un peu et c'est très pointu, j'ai eu un très bon résultat comme prévu.

Viene bien empaqueta y en su caja de plástico Las brocas tienen buena pinta y se ven bien hechas Tienen buen filo y los agujeros los hacen sin saltar astillas

Extremely well made professional forstner bit set. Superb cutting performance leaving very clean cuts in the timber. The quality is high and the set contains a good selection of sizes. The included carry case is more than adequate to keep the bits safe & sound. These bits are like night and day compared to other cheaper versions and will last far longer. Very pleased with the purchase and would highly recomend.

Excellent quality..!
