Those aren't Forstner bits, they are large brad point.

Hi Gerald,

Individual carbide bits are sold - Freud makes some as does the
Woodworking
Supply Co in Wyoming. I have been using Freud bits for years now.

Has anyone used the spiral forstner bits? I drill a 1 1/8 hole in my
bowl
blanks and use the small chuck to rough out the outside (with the
tailstock support). I drill about a 1 1/2 deep hole and the forstner
bits
have to be pulled back several times to clear the chips. If I could buy
just one I would try it, but have only seen them in sets of 7 bits and
so
far haven't justified that much just to try something different.

I found Freud carbide forstner bits, but no spiral type. The ones I am
talking about
are these:
