But you can drill a hole bigger with a true Forstner bit.

You guys need to read the entire thread before commenting.
None of those bits pictured are the ones he's talking about.



Forstner bits are edge guided, there's no centering point. OK?


He already explained his comment.
Most Forstners have center points.
I had to look pretty hard to find some that didn't.
Maybe they started out without a center, but seems like 90% have them
today.

Both descriptions are correct. A Forsner bit does have a centering
point. It is very useful to position the bit at a hole's center point.
But a Forstner bit is also edge guided, which makes it fairly easy to
enlarge a hole with the next size bit.

Not without a drill press, it's not. Hence the technique shown in my
video.
Again, please read the whole thread before replying.
