Forstner.  Say it again.  Forstner.  Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it?  But what the heck is it? 

A Forstner drill bit is designed to cut holes in wood, but is a vast improvement over typical hole saws or spade-type boring bits.  The design of the cutting surfaces gives the woodworker important advantages. 

First, it produces a flat-bottomed hole with a smooth top cut and smooth sides.  Forstner bits also have less tendency to jump around and damage your work (especially when working without a guide). 

Also, Forstner bits do not absolutely require any wood in the center of the bit for it to work properly, as both hole saws and spade bits do.  This design feature makes it easy to slightly enlarge or reposition existing holes without having to fill the old hole first.  You can also, within limits, begin a hole with the bit on a slight angle... impossible with other hole cutters.  (Of course, these specialty cuts should be made slowly till the bit has sunken into the wood.  Using a guide will always result in a more accurate result.)

This 16 piece Forstner bit set from Rockler Woodworking can be used on any type of wood, and comes in a durable, protective molded plastic index box.  Includes 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8", 1", 1-1/8", 1-1/4", 1-3/8", 1-1/2", 1-5/8", 1-3/4", 1-7/8", 2" and 2-1/8" bits with 3/8" round shanks. Perfect for doweling, mortising, pocket holes, hardware installation and more! Use with a drill press or hand drill.

We are giving away two (2) sets. Good luck!!
