There are better, professional bits on the market, but if your need falls in the "every once in awhile" category, you can't beat the value of the Grizzly set. The Grizzly set meets just about every need at a very reasonable price. This set is a great value for the "occasional craftsman." About once a year I need a Forstner bit. Until now, I have found some way to work around the lack of them--usually sub-optimally.
It has every size bit you could possibly need, and the box keeps them neatly organized. They worked flawlessly.
The price is ridiculously low for what you get. The only downside - and this is only a quibble - is the box can't be wall-mounted, you need to sit it flat on a table when you open it.
I recently bought a router bit set, and when I needed a new size of forstner bit, decided to get a set for that as well. It happened that right after getting these, I needed to drill a number of variously-sized holes for a couple of different projects, so I gave them a good workout.
Highly recommended. I am extremely impressed with this product.
The quality of these is as good as any of the individual bits I have, and they cut smoothly and easily.
Be prepared to spend some time cleaning the cosmoline off all the bits. An excellent value in a large set of bits.
Perfect for furniture building and general woodwork. I have only used a couple of them, and they did what they are supposed to do. The Forstner bits from Grizzly were rated as a best buy by Wood Magazine. I am very pleased with them.
I've used several of the bits, including the largest in the set, a couple of the smallest, and a few in the middle. I bought this set after it was recommended in one of my magazines as a top value tool. They all cut a very nice clean hole, don't burn, and push the removed material out of the way well.I did have the same issue that someone else mentioned where the cardboard outer sleeve was stuck to the wooden case.Overall, I recommend these, especially if you're like me and needed a decent set to get started. Most of the work I've done with them has been in hard maple or MDF. Honestly, I have not owned any forstner bits before, so I have nothing to compare them with. I am quite pleased with them so far.
