Forstner Bits

[Peter Sefton]

Has any body tried the Fisch bits are they any good?

Yes, I've used one. See previous thread

Thanks Mike

Well if they are these then you're better of binning them as they are truly pants.

I have a big set of Famag forstner bits which i bought after seeing them recommended here. They would have no problem cutting through that.
They have a wavy outer edge which helps a lot.

Bit late to this thread, but here's my input.

I have two sets of forstners

My main set is the £30ish set from screwfix, I think they're generic but they're saw tooth and generally good for all types of work.

I have a set of festool zobo bits but I only use them in low resin hardwoods, they're excellent!

If you're looking for a new set I would recommend the screwfix ones.

Thanks
