I am looking for a set of high quality forstner bits that will stay sharp
and cut clean holes a long time from now. Any recommendations, good or
bad?



I have a carbide set by Freud.

They work for me.

YMMV

I have many carbide cutting tools made by Freud and I found them very good.
However, I had very good result with forstner bits made with genuine Hight
Speed Steel (HSS).
I have bit made with Carbon steel and HSS comes really on top.
Have a look at:
