I'm a newbie. Wondering why the forstner drill bit sets
seem to increment by 1/8", with no 5/16 7/16 etc.

Cost? I noticed the same thing (needed a 7/16ths, so had to order
it).
Sucks not having a woodworking store within 100mi.

I want to feel guilty having a Woodcraft four miles from my front door, but
being able to pick up a ten dollar router bit makes up for it.
