I bought the HF Forstners in a weak moment. They didn't even have an edge
or any sharpness to the lead edge of the tooth.

That's why I recommended buying a quality bit from Lee Valley. I will buy a
bunch of stuff from HF for the stuff I don't need precision or long life.
In fact, all my vehicles have a set of tools by HF. I won't buy stuff
where I need precision or quality results (ie. drill bits, chisels, etc...).
Cheers,
