Yup.

Porter Cable
Freud
CMT
Mibro

I own the Mibro set and have used a Freud set. They both worked well. The other two were just highly rated on Amazon so I stuck them in there for options. Read the reviews and decide what you want.

I've never had a situation where I've needed anything more specific than a 1/8" increment with a Forstner bit (or perhaps more accurately, I design my projects so that I don't need anything more specific than 1/8" increments) so I'm not sure how useful having tons of different sizes, such as with the PC pack, would be.

The holes were made with forstner bits and a drill press. The corners were chamfered with a #4 1/2 smooth plane.

u/Virtus1024 · 2 pointsr/woodworking

I'm looking to get some forstner bits; I'm just a new hobby woodworker so they won't see excessive abuse. With that said I'm wondering if it is worth spending more for Fisch, Freud, or Lee Valley offerings or something like this Porter Cable set that gets really good reviews will be sufficient ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TSZEB4/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_3?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 )?

Also, looking for some brad point bits as well. Any brand recommendations there? And is it worth getting a full set or will something like 1/8-1/2" in 1/16 increments be enough? I have a full set of non-brad point bits already.

Thanks!

What brand are they? The easiest method I have found for hollow Ever-Readys is:

  • Cut the hair with a razor knife as close as you can with a razor knife making sure to not hit the handle
  • Get a set of paddle bits and start with the smallest one (I am sure a forstner bit would make this a lot easier)
  • Drill through the knot into the hollow the handle trying to keep it as close to the center as possible
  • Take the next size up and do the same until you have removed the knot and are left with this
  • Clean it up using a Dremel with a sanding wheel.

    If you want to keep the knot, try the steam method.
