Until now, I have found some way to work around the lack of them--usually sub-optimally. There are better, professional bits on the market, but if your need falls in the "every once in awhile" category, you can't beat the value of the Grizzly set. This set is a great value for the "occasional craftsman." About once a year I need a Forstner bit. The Grizzly set meets just about every need at a very reasonable price.
I am extremely impressed with this product. The quality of these is as good as any of the individual bits I have, and they cut smoothly and easily.
Highly recommended. They worked flawlessly.
It happened that right after getting these, I needed to drill a number of variously-sized holes for a couple of different projects, so I gave them a good workout. The price is ridiculously low for what you get.
I recently bought a router bit set, and when I needed a new size of forstner bit, decided to get a set for that as well. It has every size bit you could possibly need, and the box keeps them neatly organized.
The only downside - and this is only a quibble - is the box can't be wall-mounted, you need to sit it flat on a table when you open it.
An excellent value in a large set of bits. Be prepared to spend some time cleaning the cosmoline off all the bits.
I am very pleased with them. Perfect for furniture building and general woodwork. The Forstner bits from Grizzly were rated as a best buy by Wood Magazine. I have only used a couple of them, and they did what they are supposed to do.
I've used several of the bits, including the largest in the set, a couple of the smallest, and a few in the middle. I am quite pleased with them so far. They all cut a very nice clean hole, don't burn, and push the removed material out of the way well.I did have the same issue that someone else mentioned where the cardboard outer sleeve was stuck to the wooden case.Overall, I recommend these, especially if you're like me and needed a decent set to get started. I bought this set after it was recommended in one of my magazines as a top value tool. Honestly, I have not owned any forstner bits before, so I have nothing to compare them with. Most of the work I've done with them has been in hard maple or MDF.
