HCS tools are perfectly good for hardwood, softwood, chipboard, and ply, so we don’t consider that a drawback. Consumers should exercise extreme caution when operating a power drill, as these bits are sharp and could potentially cut one’s finger.At first glance, it’s difficult to differentiate these tools from competitors, but Freud Precision Shear Forstner bits are forged (hammered into shape under high pressure with still molten metal). Extenders come in different diameters and some will only fit ½-inch chucks, so compatibility should be checked beforehand. However, such Forstner bits are hard to find today because of their excess production by every tool manufacturer.

Imperial and metric sets are the two alternatives here; the former will feature inch-sized bits, while the latter will have millimeter- and centimeter-sized bits. All the 14 Forstner bits have an open-tooth design enabling them to cut through hard and softwoods with perfection. Its ultra-sharp blades are designed for clean and smooth woodworking and the sharp teeth produce precise pocket holes and flat-bottomed holes.These bits come with a hex shank that can be fitted in any electric power machine and drill presses. The three smallest diameter drills use an interesting combination of a Forstner-style tip with a twist drill body, which helps clear waste and prevents them from overheating in deep holes. These bits produce a reasonably smooth finish but are not designed for precision cutting, so the minor differences between metric and imperial are unlikely to be a problem.
