Freud PB-107B: 1/4" to 1" (Dia.) 7 Pcs. Forstner Bit Set

Excellent product. Bits are sharp and cut clean holes

Very clean cuts

This drill set delivers smooth, accurate cuts with minimal effort. The steep angled cutting edges and serrated design make a noticeable difference, especially when drilling flat-bottom, pocket, or overlapping holes. Even in dense hardwood, the bits stay sharp and cut cleanly without burning. The 7-piece range from 1/4" to 1" is versatile and well-suited for fine woodworking. Highly recommended for anyone looking for professional-quality results.

Price was right....Being new to woodworking I had to buy these.... VERY happy....

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!

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.

These cut amazingly clean holes. Shavings come out like hampster bedding which you constantly need to clear by pulling the bit up to dump them. Be careful with the needle-sharp center spur tips if you're using them in a drill press. Don't let them get anywhere near metal because they can bend or break off. They come in heat-pressed plastic packaging that you can’t really store them in after you open it. It looks suspiciously like the packaging for the Fisch Fostner 7-bit set that is also made in Austria but twice the price. Unless you have a bit holder with 1/4” & 3/8” holes, you'll need to make a wood box to store them in. The 1/4" & 3/8” bits are perfect for drilling holes to hold the shanks of all the bits. Here’s the box I bought and modified to hold mine. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0085TG246/ I cut a piece of 1x1 stock to fit snuggly inside the box. Next, I drilled holes for dowels into the center of the 1x1 on each end, traced the outline of the ends on the outside of the box sides, and drilled the center of the outlines to fit the dowel. Last, I pushed the dowel through the sides of the box, gluing them into the 1x1, and trimmed the dowels with a flush-cutting saw. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0037MD21W/ Just ordered a second set for my home bench.

I'm trying to build a bunk bed and I don't know enough about woodworking. Using standard drill bits I was causing massive tearout that looked horrible. These bits make perfect holes in soft pine. The bits even allow me to re-angle a hole I had mis-aligned. I can't do that with regular bits because they won't bite into the wall of the hole. These are the first Forstner bits I've ever used so I don't know how they compare to other forstner bits, however they seem very well made and sharp.

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.

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.

As expected from this brand, quality, works well, no wandering, well worth the money

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 !!!!!!!

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.
