Precision Shear Forstner Drill Bit 2-Inch by 3-1/2-Inch
From the Manufacturer
Precision Shear Forstner Bits feature a double-ground, razor-sharp serrated edge that slices throughout the rotation of the bit for less splintering and chipping, producingflawless flat-bottom holes. This unique geomtric design has multiple cutting edges that produce greater shearing action, allowing for faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Competitive forstner bit designs produce small chips and dust that collect in the cutting area, increasing friction and heat, thus causing the bit to dull quickly. Those designs also create holes with rough edges that require sanding. In addition to serrated edges, Precision Shear Forstner Bits include a hardened steel body for longer life and sharper edge, an ultra sharp spur to ensure accurate holes and less "walking", and steep angled cutting edges to produce holes that are smooth and flat.

It cuts a clean hole with no tear out, burnishing, or burning.

This came in its OEM packaging and arrived sharp and ready to go! Used it to drill holes in hardwood and plywood! Never a problem as it cut through like a hot knife thru butter!! Will buy other sizes as needed!

After hearing all the hype about the Freud Forstner bits, I was a bit disappointed to find that mine was quite dull out of the box. After 10 min sharpening it it did work quite well. I bored a 2in hole 5 in deep in hardwood in 1.5 min. No scorching, and the bit was only slightly too hot to touch after.

This bit works well on the lathe for coring out the center of a bowl blank. I’d buy it again.

I use this in a small milling machine and it cuts great. Not all Forstner bits are created equal and this is a really good one. In this case if you pay more you'll get more.

Great bit for the money. Very sharp edges, very precise machining. I used this to drill holes in a 2.5" thick solid maple slab using a pre-drilled jig attached with clamps to the surface. Cut perfectly without no walking. Wish the shank was a bit longer but super nice.

This made building several purple Martin houses incredibly easy! Excellent quality & the only problem with it is that one has to be careful not to run the drill really fast b/c then it binds when drilling the hole. That happened a couple of times almost taking the drill out of my hands & wrenching my wrists until I figured out to go slowly & carefully.

Cut through 1 1/2" of birch plywood without burnt marks with a hand held drill.

Very sharp, clean hole. The only negative I could say is that it did not come with any type of plastic protector. I have only used this twice so I can’t say anything about how long it will stay sharp.
