Tungsten Carbide Forstner Bits Ⅴ

In last part we know that tungsten carbide Forstner bits are especially used to drill through multiple pieces of wood or precise hinge holes in furniture making. They come in varied sizes from 0.25 to over 3 inches (6 to 75 mm) to form a set. In this part we explain the benefits to use a Forstner bit.

Carpenters often praise this bit’s ability to drill precisely and cleanly through imperfections, like knots and baubles, in wood. A lot of this owes to the rim. The Forstner bit’s rim guides itself, which means that it won’t be thrown off when it hits problem areas or end-grain the way a center point-guided bit could be.

Speed and precision are also important factors. Experienced woodworkers often say that the Forstner bit is able to do work faster and better than almost any other bit, and can do a number of different tasks, too. It can drill both complete holes and partial bores; it can cut on an angle and against the grain.
