Forstner Bit Set

The Zeptix Supplies Forstner Bit Set bores clean, flat-bottomed holes that spade bits and twist drills simply cannot match. The rim-cutting design shears wood fibers at the perimeter of the hole before the center clears the waste, producing a polished bore wall with no tearout — critical for hinge cups, dowel joints, and decorative inlays. Each bit is machined from high-carbon steel and features a saw-tooth rim that stays sharp through dozens of holes in dense hardwoods like maple, oak, and cherry. The center spur starts precisely on your mark without walking, even at steep angles and on end grain. Round shanks fit standard drill-press chucks and hand-drill chucks, and the bits perform best at the lower speeds a drill press provides. Choose the 7-piece set for the most common furniture-hardware sizes or the 16-piece set that spans from one-quarter inch to two and one-eighth inches in eighth-inch increments for complete coverage. A fitted wood case labels every pocket and keeps cutting edges protected during storage.
