You might want to up your standards some what. I have a forstner bit set
that I know that I have drilled over 1000 holes in Oak and MDF with a
single 1-3/8" bit and it still cuts fine, with no resharpening. This is a
15+ year old set that I paid $79 from Trendlines, German steel.

Leon,
I can't seem to find anything on Trendlines...are they still in
business?
