Customer Reviews
Excellent product at the best price I could find either in a store or online. They did not come in a wooden box but rather a plastic case (see the 12 bit set)but the bits are of the highest quality. Work great!!
I find these bits to be well-made, razor-sharp, and have a nice finish. The CMT bits have a slightly longer pilot than some bits I've used, so you need to be careful not to drill through.I use forstners in a drill press, not in a hand-held drill, and I've had none of the edge problems reported in another review.
This is quoted from a tool distributors site"CMT resharpens top quality imported bits in their own Italian factory. That results in a top quality forstner bit at an affordable price.".BS. I opened the box and it looked as if somebody had used every bit to drill through stainless steel, re-boxed them and sent them to me. I had my sharpener look at them to see if it was worth him working on them and he said the edges were all rolled so even at the astronomical price it would cost to sharpen them all, it wouldn't even work.These are junk.
When I first started woodworking, I bought a twenty dollar Forstnet set and have used them for years. Now many of them are burned and unusable. I figured I would throw down some bucks for a quality set. Unfortunate for me I chose the CMT brand. I had a 1 1/8" size in my cheap set that was never used and did a side by side comparison of the same size of the new set I just bought. (Chucked into a drill press, drilling into red oak) The chinese bit drilled a hole with only a small ridge at the top of the hole, faster, with less effort and less heat buildup. The CMT bit produced a significant ridge at the top of the hole, more effort to plunge into the wood, and the bit was hotter after drilling. I then stroked the cutting edge of each bit with a diamond sharpening stone and tried again. Each bit performed better, but my chinese tool still stood higher in quality. I returned the CMT's. Got me some Freud brand, their new Precision Shear. Good stuff.
