Extend Your Forstner Bit Capabilities
Drilling with forstner bits to achieve a flat bottom hole or to start a deep hole turning project like on a larger vase or vessel is essentially impossible with a standard length forstner bit. To remedy this issue we have developed an extra long, heavy duty steel extension that allows you to secure a forstner bit into the end collet
More Drilling Depth for Larger Projects...
We've all been there. We need either a lot more or just a little more depth for a woodworking project we're working on. Some of us may have a longer forstner bit, but for the most part we are stuck trying to find something that will work. In steps the 10" long Heavy Duty Forstner Bit extender! Now you can gain up to 8-1/2" of drilling depth on top of your standard forstner bit drilling depth. Ideal for wood turners, carpenters, woodworkers and more.
Drill Deeper, Cleaner Holes Using Your Lathe, Hand Drill or Drill Press
Lathe
Using the forstner bit extension on a lathe requires and drill chuck (sold separately) for proper use. Once properly mounted, the extension adds up to 8-1/2" of drilling depth!
Hand Drill
Mount the extension to a hand drill to bore into larger projects. Many woodturners love using the extension to create starter holes so they don't have to remove so much material with there turning tools.
Drill Press
Simply mount the extension and bit in the chuck and you're ready to start drilling! The extension provides up to 8-1/2" of drilling depth for larger projects. Ideal for vases, large vessels and more.
Built Tough
Struggling to find a forstner bit extension for larger jobs that is not only long enough, but strong enough is now a thing of the past! This heavy duty forstner bit extender is made from solid, machined steel to exacting specifications. This means that it will stand up to most any type of wood working project and more. The forstner bit extender is designed to be used with forstner bits only.

It's durably built. You can tell it's well constructed when you first pick it up. The screws does hold the bit in place very securely. I found that to be the case even when only one of the two screws is used. But I due recommend using both when possible. As stated on Amazon. All 3/8 inch bits are not the same. I had three - one didn't fit at all, another only fit deep enough to reach one of the screw holes (which was sufficient), a third one fit completely where both screws could be used to secure the bit. My suggestion would be to get the smallest 3/8 inch shank you can find or get the one that's from the manufacturer of the extension. The one that fits perfectly I found at Ace Hardware, so that's another option. The others I had came from Harbor Freight Tools and Home Depot. Not a kock on these great outlets, just saying their 3/8 shank don't appear to perfectly fit the extension from this manufacturer.

It seems to be well build and does what it says it will do. Worked perfectly in my application where I had to drill deeper than the shank of the bit would allow.

As other reviews describe perfectly, the extension is nice if it would actually fit 3/8" shank fostner bits. Unfortunately they undersized the opening for bits and is not compatible with most 3/8" shanks

At first I was hesitant about whether or not it would work as described. Rest assured this tool is a quality piece that works as described.I use it to extend my Irwin wood auger bits. My bits have the faceted drive ends and they fit almost snugly into the Fulton bit extender. When the allen screws are tightened the unit runs with no apparent runout. I didn't try using a dial indicator on it but, I couldn't see or feel any wobble while drilling through 2 inch oak floor joists. YMMV

The question in my mind was, "will this fit the shank of the forester bits I have without being off-center?" The answer is yes.So, if you have 3/8" shank bits this works fine. If you have other bits, it will not be centered.

If, for whatever reason, you need an extension for your forsner biti(s), this is a good choice. Solid tool steel; bit clamps in place with two set screws. Allen wrench included. Comes in various lengths.

Was a little disapointed in this bit extender that even though it says that it fits a standard size shank and Amazon had this listed as frequently purchased with the bit I purchased the bit did not fit this extender without modification being required on the bit shank. On top of the sizing the set screws seem to have both stripped out when tightening down on the first bit used. I would not recommend.
