james murray: I have used Freud branded bits on a variety of hard and soft woods for over twenty years. They have performed satisfactorily and without issue. I expect the latest forstner bits will do as well. Price was excellent and the delivery was within expectations.

Steve: Sharp, sharp, sharp, did I mention thse bits are sharp? They cut nice clean holes with very little effort in softwoods as well as hardwoods. I have other fostner bits, some of them priced a lot higher than these and tis set is on a par with the best of them. I see people complaining about burn marks, This usually means they are being used inccorectly, pushed too hard or too fast, not perpendicular to the surface, not clearing the waste etc.
You might get some tearout if drilling right through a piece of timber but this will happen with any fostner bit unless you use a sacrifical piece underneath your work. These bits work very well, they do exactly what they are supposed to and I'm very happy with the performance.
Unfortunately I have torn the cutting edge off two of them already when I hit hidden metal in some timber I was drilling but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these bits

Norman Charbonneau: The build quality is very good. Very sharp and clean cutting in soft and hard wood.
I would recommend these bits.

Stromboli: The build quality is exceptional and easily rates a five star but, like at least one other customer has stated, I had a duplicate bit in the set. In my case, the blister pack contained two 7/8" bits but lacked the 1" diameter Forstner bit. Seriously, duplicate product in a series of seven? How hard can that be to get right? Please put someone on the packaging quality control line.
UPDATE: 09-28-20 I reached out to FREUD regarding the missing 1" bit and am awaiting a response from their Customer Support staff. Will advise on results when I hear back.
UPDATE: 10-09-20 FREUD resolved the issue with no problems whatsoever. A new 1" bit was sent to me by FREUD with their apologies. WDBA++++
Recommend that you photograph the problem and contact FREUD directly through their Amazon link if you should experience similar issue with your order.

J.GilmanJ.Gilman: The media could not be loaded. These cut amazingly clean holes. Shavings come out like hampster bedding which you constantly need to clear by pulling the bit up to dump them. Be careful with the needle-sharp center spur tips if you're using them in a drill press. Don't let them get anywhere near metal because they can bend or break off.
They come in heat-pressed plastic packaging that you can’t really store them in after you open it. It looks suspiciously like the packaging for the Fisch Fostner 7-bit set that is also made in Austria but twice the price.
Unless you have a bit holder with 1/4” & 3/8” holes, you'll need to make a wood box to store them in. The 1/4" & 3/8” bits are perfect for drilling holes to hold the shanks of all the bits. Here’s the box I bought and modified to hold mine.

I cut a piece of 1x1 stock to fit snuggly inside the box. Next, I drilled holes for dowels into the center of the 1x1 on each end, traced the outline of the ends on the outside of the box sides, and drilled the center of the outlines to fit the dowel. Last, I pushed the dowel through the sides of...

pwdrhound: This set replaced a set of Ryobi bits. These were very sharp right out of the box, I actually cut myself with one of them. Very smooth cuts and no tearout.
