## Description

MLCS forstner bits are manufactured from high quality steel that is long lasting, precision ground for heavy use and easily resharpened. Forstner bits are designed to drill flat bottom or through holes cleanly in end grain, thin stock, veneers and regular stock. They enlarge existing holes with ease and can bore any arc of a circle. These bits will not move off center through unusual grain or knots. Great for mounting mini-quartz clock movements, cup hinges and door locks. Sizes 1/4-Inch to 7/8-Inch bits are supplied with solid rims. The saw teeth design for larger diameter bits (1-Inch and larger) stop burning and cut faster without losing the advantages of Forstner bit action. Shank size is 3/8-Inch and overall length is 3-1/2-Inch for sizes 1/4-Inch through 2-1/8-Inch excluding metric sizes. For sizes 2-1/4-Inch through 4-1/2-Inch shank size is 1/2-Inch and overall length is 6-3/8-Inch. Use large bits in drill press.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Very cheap, and cheaply made
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2018*

I've bought other MLCS products that were well made and worked well.  This is not one of those.First, the sharpening was really badly done.  It looked like they used about an 80-100 grit grinder, which is not nearly fine enough for the radial cutting edges.  Even worse, when they cut the sawteeth around the edges, they didn't cut enough.  Instead of each tooth coming to a sharp point where it would cut into the wood, it had about a 1/16" flat spot.  This meant there was no relief for the cutting point.The test cut I made was extremely slow, and created massive amounts of sawdust.  Not good.  After I spent about 45 minutes with diamond stones to properly sharpen the bit, it did a little better.  Still too much sawdust, it dulled rapidly, and cut very slowly.  In fact, the last of the eight holes I drilled in 3/4" Baltic birch took almost 3 minutes, at the highest feed rate I could use while still maintaining full RPM on the drill.If you're only cutting a few holes, won't ever need the bit after that, and are willing and able to sharpen the bit, then this will work.  If you're cutting a lot of holes, I'd go with something better.

    Worked well
  

*by M***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 8, 2015*

This is a large bit so requires a larger drill press to use safely. I found it caused my large drill press to stall fairly easily, which is not a problem with the bit, but rather just a usage/safety observation. Go slow!The cutting edges of the bit seemed like they could have been honed a bit better, but, frankly, I'm stretching to find this as a fault as most similar bits are the same. Overall, this is a good bit. No wobble. No burning. Decent cut quality. Did what it was designed to do.

    Did not stay sharp long.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2020*

It got dull pretty quickly. Only got 4 holes done and bit is done. Granted I was working with hard wood.
