well made, sticky sharp, cuts are exact. It will last a long time in my wood shop.

I’ve used this a few times and it does the job but in a hand drill you really have to put a lot of pressure on it to get it to cut. I’m sure with a drill press it would be way easier.

I have the 2 inch lumberjack log tenoning system and need a bit for the holes. This kind of works. The hole size is correct. The length of the bit is more of the challenge. For the system I have, I really need something about an inch longer.Now that said, I am not sure how easy it would be to control this bit freehand if it were longer. It likes to walk around a little bit until the hole is deep enough to direct the bit. It also has a little bit of a habit of wandering in the hole. This isn't really an issure for what I am doing but I could see it being a problem with hard woods.

Replacement on order, I'm not one for giving a bad review before giving a fair chance for the seller to make good on the merchandise. Received the 50mm Forstner bit in seemingly good condition. First use was a pretty big disappointment. Bit bogged out with very little pressure, suspected it might have been the hardwood I was attempting to cut into (pear). Not a really hard hardwood but, I gave the benefit of doubt and tried it on pine, still same bogging down and wouldn't cut more than a mm down. The more pressure put on the bit, the worse it bogged down and burned the wood until it stopped turning altogether. I will edit and update after the replacement has been received and tested.******* update*******Got the replacement the next day. This one is what I expected out of a Forstner bit. Cut through hardwood with much better performance. I changed the 1 star to 4 for much better performance and fast turn around replacement. I couldn’t give 5 due to the dud that was shipped out originally.

Warning! This bit does NOT produce a clean hole. The forstner end of the bit is not centered on the shaft so when attempting to bore into the wood, the bit wants to wander side-to-side. I know the bit was inexpensive but if it doesn't produce a decent hole then it's not worth it. I will have to purchase a better quality forstner bit the next time.
