Expensive but it works, although not as good as a taytools jig. Try Taytools - they have a better jig which allows you to use the mag-switch magnets on your tools without having to use two-hands to activate.

Punta forstner top, ho una serie completa di punte forstner (cinesi) che fanno il loro dovere anche se hanno un taglio non proprio pulito ma dopo aver provato questa credo che prenderò la serie completa perchè sono davvero affilate come i rasoi; ho conosciuto CMT grazie a Mobiltecnica dove ho acquistato lame circolari fresatrice CMT7E e frese varie ed è tutto di qualità professionale; CMT è una garanzia !

première utilisation et agréablement surpris par son efficacité et la netteté du rendu . j'avais une mèche Bosch de même taille qui s'est émoussée rapidement . les "dents" de la CMT sont mieux conçues et bien affûtées , j'ai essayé sur bois tendre et dur , très bon résultat en suivant les conseils de vitesse de perceuse à utiliser, inscrits sur l'emballage ! à voir sur la durée .

Cuts like butter. Very sharp and makes a very clean hole. Fantastic deal for sure.

This is a good bit if using it in a drill press with everything clamped tight. Using it in a drill will have the tendency to walk a little. Overall good bit for the price and it works perfectly for Harley Davidson poker chips!

I saw some rather negative reviews for this bit but for the price I thought I should make up my own mind. Any wood boring, or metal for that matter, require the proper rpm's for optimum performance and care for the tool(s) involved. A 40mm forstner bit chucked in a drill press running at 700 rpm's will heat excessively even boring into relatively soft wood. When sharpened and shaped metal is heated beyond tolerances it will expand and loose it's temper as well as it's edge. Find out what rpm's you should use before for the diameter of hole you're boring and for what material you're using it on and your tools will last a lot longer and your work will definitely benefit. Really please with the tool!

We were making a homemade Harley Davidson poker chip holder, of course they were mm. This bit worked perfectly, and they fit in there very snug, but with a hit on the back of the board they come out! Worked great!
