This 16-piece forstner bit set from CMT offers a comprehensive range of sizes from 1/4″ to 2-1/8″ in 1/8″ increments. These forstner bits drill clean, flat-bottomed holes and are ideal for use in both stationary and portable drill presses. Forstner bit sizes 3/4″ and smaller can be used in electric or cordless drills, but results are not as precise as when used in a drill press . Forstner bits are 3-9/16″ long with a 3/8″ shank.
Includes a sturdy storage case with see-through acrylic window.
Helpful Tips:
- Making repeated shallow cuts and allowing the bit to cool for two or three seconds between passes will increase the life of your forstner bit
- Applying excessive force to the bit while drilling will cause overheating
- Overheating will remove the temper from the forstner bit’s cutting edges
- Use recommended forstner bit speeds according to bit size and use in either softwood or hardwood
- Always wear proper eye and hearing protection when working with power tools
