perfect for drilling accurate 1/2-inch joles in wood

Dulled pretty quickly in Douglas Fir.

I bought this to drill holes for shaker pegs in a coat rake I was building. Holes where perfect for what I needed.

Worth its weight in gold, this razor-sharp bit carves wood like butter, slicing through the hardest of stock with ease. My collection of paddle bits will now be gathering dust and rust and’ll eventually wind up in the trash. Oh cherished Forstner bit, you have transformed my life forever.

I now have several diablo bits and I think they are quite good.
Isabella Hintz (verified owner) –
Makes unbelievable clean holes. All of my Diablo forstner bits work great.

this product is perfect for install closers on wood doors.
Kacey Mitchell (verified owner) –
We needed a lot of this size for a large Trex project that took an oversized fastener. Work perfectly and at a reasonable price.

I own several of the Diablo Forstner bits and I am very happy with them. They cut well, have a good polish so they don’t bind or squeak, and so far hold their edge well. They are priced right. I don’t agree with calling these High-Speed though. Can they run at high speed, sure, but can they and should they are not the same. It’s okay on a small one, but a large Forstner has a huge amount of torque, and running these at high speed is not a safe practice. In a hand drill it can spin the drill out of your hand, and on a drill press good clamping is critical to prevent spinning a work piece.

The drill bit was used on treated wood. The bit worked perfectly. The ability to chuck and have no slippage was very useful.
Gerardo Bergnaum (verified owner) –
Cuts smooth and stable in drill press and with corded hand drill

Very sharp and precise.
Jamie Runolfsson (verified owner) –
Drill was exactly what I needed for a special project which meant I had to drill almost 100 holes, not all the way through the board. Cuts were perfect and did not splinter the wood. Great product.
Mittie Cartwright (verified owner) –
Worked very well for my project.
Kamille Rolfson (verified owner) –
The bit is sharp and cuts clean holes. Have used it in oak, walnut and birch ply.
