The other sizes have only seen few
holes and they work well enough for that. It is a low cost way to have a
selection of bits on hand "just in case"

I got hooked on the Freud carbide forstner bits. They are so good that I
don't buy anything else. I just finished drilling twenty-seven 3/4" dog
holes in a rock maple bench top that is 40 years old. Talk about tough!
But the freud bit sliced through it like a surgeon's scalpel throwing off
fine curly shavings the whole way. When I finished it looked like the holes
had been machined.
