Accurate Cutting

Customers are highly satisfied with the accurate cutting ability of this forstner bit. They praise its ease of use in both handheld power drills and desk top drill presses, and note that it leaves smooth surfaces for mounting door pulls or other applications. Some customers have used it for fine woodworking projects such as inlays and toy making. A few mention that while they paid more upfront, the quality of these bits is worth it as they are not cheap, disposable Chinese-made alternatives.

Quality


These are the best bits of you want an accurate hole and stays sharp a long time.


The cuts are very accurate and the bit is easy to use in both a hand held power drill and a desk top drill press.


These are disposable bits, to small to resharpen so they are really throw away tools.


It ripped right through an inch poplar board like a knife through butter.

Price


Diablo puts out good products at a reasonable price.


Yes, its more expensive but you get what you pay for.

Packaging/appearance


It came as a freud bit in diablo packaging and cut great.


Seller product labels placed directly on product case.

Competitiveness


Was pleasantly surprised to see it was a freud as the freud branded one was a few bucks more and i only needed it for one project.

    What a difference a quality bit makes these are made by freud and glide through wood like butter


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You need these for drilling a bolt countersink etc


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I needed some spare 14 bits for a project in oak that needed to make quality round splinter free holes about 100 of them


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was surprised to get diablo and almost returned them but then i saw they were actually a division of freud


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    They did the job even though they had burrs on the cutting edges which i touched up with a diamond stone before using


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The grind was a bit coarse and after 100 holes one got dull but still was making good holes


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even the original freud was getting rolled cutting edges so i saw no difference in steel material used in the bits


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Even the grind was the same on both a bit coarse and unfinished
