While it did the job, it clogged and left things rough. If you need a smooth finish, spend a few extra dollars for a better one

I got a 90 mm to cut holes in pine. Worked 2 times and then went dull. The 75 mm is still doing well. So i had to cut a smaller hole the use the bigger bit. Not advised, leaves a divot

I used it with my cordless drill and it works great with pine and soft wood but it had a hard time with hard woods but at the end everything ok.

Beefy and sharp bit. Worked pretty good for what I used it for.

The Hegebeck Forstner came packaged in a hard plastic protective case. That worked gret as the shipping envelopewasn't hard and would have ruined any other type of possible wrapping. Great job... and the bit worked perfectly.

I needed this large bit to drill five 3†holes in ash for a kitchen project. Aided by carbide cutting surfaces, it handled the job extremely well. The holes are very clean with no jagged edges, tearing, or scorching. I have never used a Forstner bit this large, so there was a learning curve. First, the torque required to turn this bit, especially in ash, was quite high. I had to set my floor-mounted 12†drill press on its lowest speed; otherwise the drill would stall. The piece being drilled had to be clamped firmly to the drill press table, otherwise the work tended to rotate. Feeding the drill bit into the wood had to be done very slowly to aid in maintaining the drill speed. I found it very helpful to keep a vacuum running during drilling; this kept shavings from plugging the bit while maintaining visibility, and enabled air to be drawn in around it to keep it cool.There are some safety issues one needs to be aware of: 1) this is a very large bit, and once it is running the outer edges of the bit become a blur making the (very sharp) edge cutters difficult to see. Just a slight finger touch will cause a significant injury. 2) This bit removes a lot of material, and, especially, at the start of the cut, will throw material sideways out and away from the bit. Safety glasses, or, even better, a face shield must be used. 3) I believe this bit can only be used in a drill press. I have serious doubts if it can be controlled safely in a hand-held drill (assuming you could find one in the first place with enough power and torque to drive it).All said, with the proper set up and safety precautions in place, this tool performed extremely well and did exactly what it was supposed to. The holes were precisely 3†in diameter.

Substandard build, very dull. Will pay more for better quality next time
