Default What's up with LV forstner bits?


These are some excellent bits, high speed steel saw tooth forstners made in
China by Oldham:

I drilled 12 mortises in douglas fir, sizes including 1" (bit size) x 4-1/4" and 2-2/5",
7 to 9 dips and no sharpening needed yet. These are hard steel, definitely flat cutters
and no volcanos.
