Forstner bits...
I have seen Forstner bits sell for a wide variety of prices:
Lowes set sells for about $30. Woodcraft has sets for about $50 up to $400. I have also seen carbide tip sets for about $130. What should I look for? Is carbide better or is high speed steel OK? Is it hard to sharpen the non carbide bits? I will be using the bits in a chuck in the tailstock of my lathe cutting into various kinds of wood. Thanks for any info, Ted |
