I used most of the bits already and they are super sharp with clean holes.nice case too, what more can i say.
Cheaper ones of course may be dull(er) as well. This can take 5 minutes per bit.Why not 1 or 2 star. I suspect that after sharpening you still end up with a drill bit that lasts better than a cheaper version. First thing I noticed out of the box is that the bits are visibly dull. More importantly, these bits are straight and precise so they don't wobble like cheaper ones. (Even though the design and shape are almost identical to the Freud). Even to bare eyes the cutting edges look frayed, like a wood chisel that really needs sharpening.As a consequence this new forstner bit does not cut as fast as a Freud bit I have used for years. The bottom of drill holes in pine shows tearout and some fraying.I have tried to sharpen a bit with a dremel, this improves things.
Not much more than the no-name imports that have very poor quality.The Porter Cable set is a professional grade bit w/o an extravigant price. The Porter Cable Forstner Bit set is an excellent value.
Well made and nice clean cuts.Very good quality and comes in a nice storage box.Glad I did not go for the cheaper bits.
received my set quick fast and in a hurry but as of now have not had an occasion to use it.
