Installed it in my drill press chuck. Set up the DP belt for 480 rpm- the slowest possible. And started to drill my planned four, two inch deep holes in a piece of 4x6 pine. Two hours later the first hole was completed. Another 45 minutes and the second hole is now 1/4inch deep. I expected better. The bit is still bright and shiny, but it is just not cutting. It seems to have dulled significantly during the first hole. The pine got the better of this bit very quickly. It looks like it's time to buy a better quality bit so that I can complete my 4 hole project. UPDATE- I sharpened the bit and it briefly cut better. Completion of all 4 holes required multiple stops to remove and resharpen. It just will not maintain a cutting edge, even working in nice dry pine which had been sitting in my climate controlled shop for over one year. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT BIT! *by S***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2020* We're using this 2.75" Forstner bit to drill 'windows' in 6"x6" beams (with a drill press) in the railings of a bridge we're building. We have a lot of windows to drill and didn't want to risk down time if the bit broke or wore out, so we bought two. So far the first bit is still going strong. It's a good thing these bits have 1/2" shafts. It cuts nice smooth holes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great customer service! Great Product! *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021* Lowest price I’ve seen on a 2-1/2” forstner bit. It’s precise and tough. Well made product. I had questions about the delivery and customer service contacted me immediately and worked out the issue with me. I will definitely buy from this seller again. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/129871595-woodriverhigh-carbon-steel-3-1-4-forstner-bit-1-2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/129871595-woodriverhigh-carbon-steel-3-1-4-forstner-bit-1-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
