This bit came very sharp and cuts clean, precise holes. I can't vouch for how durable it is yet since I've only had it for a short time. But so far so good.

this bit is sharp enough to cut yourself on ... it cuts holes with crisp shoulders, doesn't get hot, doesn't wobble or move off centre, or leave torn fibres everywhere - it's excellent if a little pricey, but quality costs, right?

Spent a little more on this bit than others bits available because the other products had reviews stating the bit was dull after drilling just a few hinge holes. Not this one. Drilled hinge holes for an entire kitchen and it’s as sharp as it was on the first hole. Perfectly sized for euro hinges.

I am amazed at how easily and cleanly the Fisch WaveCutter Fortsner bit cuts through IPE (Eepay) wood -- like butta, smooth and fast! IPE is one of the hardest woods in the world (Janka hardness of 3,684 vs.1,200 for oak). In the past, I've cut 66 23mm holes with a Fortsner bit for recessed LED stair lights in two IPE wood decks. I've been through 4 high speed steel (HSS) bits and one carbide. The carbide one lost it's edge in 12 holes. While it was better than HSS, it still didn't last long (just like my carbide saw blades cutting IPE). For the carbide bit, I had to use an impact driver to assist with the cut for the last few holes and really lean on it. I don't know yet how long the WaveCutter will last but if it's like this now, I expect it will go a long way. Even when the other bits were new, they never glided through IPE wood like the WaveCutter. I have 12 more holes to go. I've done 2 with the WaveCutter already. I'll return to post the results.Update:12 more holes cut in IPE with the WaveCutter. Almost no degradation. Somewhat slower but really a small difference. I blame IPE's gumminess more than the bit. With the heat generated, a film of burnt IPE will coat the outside of the bit adding friction to the cut. A little bit of scraping with a knife and running the bit against a small wire brush gets rid of it. I'll be buying a set of these bits now.

The best Forstner bit I've used. Cut like butter in poplar. Will buy this brand again!

Fisch bits are the best for a reason. They are old world forged and with proper care will last a lifetime if not longer. The wave cutter is razor sharp and slices through wood and MDF like a hot knife through butter and keeps the left over project feel like your cheeks after a nice hot shave. The center point tip is perfect to use to center the bit over a good center punch in the project. Once all the way through to the bottom it is so sharp that it leaves a super thin little disc in the bottom of the bit that you just pop out with your finger. What is left behind is an incredibly smooth perfectly cut hole without any burrs or blowouts.The 35mm is the standard size for modern European hinges to drop in. I have not used this or other Forstner bits in a hand drill but instead keep them in my drill press and they perform fantastically well.There is no other brand that I’ll buy.08/17/21 Update:I have since used this (and other sized) Fisch forstner bits in my hand drill to install interior doors and they are so sharp it is almost effortless to keep steady and level. Every time I use them I feel like I’m using some heirloom type quality; the quality just oozes from these bits. 100% recommended!!!!
