Steelex D1015 2" Forstner Bit

Drilled through 8 2x12s no problem. Cuts great

I had to cut clean holes into 4 x 6 treated timber for landscaping. I experimented with a continuous edge Forstner bit and it didn’t make it through one cut before dulling. I did a little research on Forstner bits and found that the sawtooth would be better to use for this purpose. I purchased this bit based on the reviews and it worked superbly. It cut all eight holes as I needed and will still cut more. I made a special effort to come back and do this review. I am very pleased with this item.

Came sharp and ready to use

The bit had to be sharpened before use.

I was cutting holes about 2" deep in pine blocks to make candle holders. The first hole went well but every cut after that got slower and slower, smoking and burning. Until it stopped cutting completely. I tried sharpening it, but that lasted only 1 hole.On the successful cuts, however, the edges were clean.
