DESCRIPTION
The Planet Long Series Saw - Tooth Forstner Bits are top - notch cutting tools ideal for woodworking. Their saw - tooth design enables fast and efficient cutting. The extended length gives you the ability to make deeper cuts. These bits are excellent for cutting along the grain and work great on softwoods, hardwoods, plastics, MDF, and other materials. Made from tough carbon steel, they are strong and long - lasting, perfect for all woodworking fans. The center - point design ensures accurate positioning and clean cuts, making it a breeze to create overlapping holes. Available in a wide range of metric and imperial sizes, from 3/8" to 4", they suit various woodworking projects. Whether you're a pro or a hobbyist, these bits are a must - have. They offer precise and smooth cuts, and their teeth and cutting faces can be resharpened. Sizes 3/8" to 2" have a 3/8" shank, and sizes 2 1/4" to 4" have a 1/2" shank. For 3/8" - 2" Forstner Bits, use the 3/8" Shank Extension Bar (8"/200mm Long) FE20038. For 2 1/4" - 4" Forstner Bits, use the 1/2" Shank Extension Bar (11"/280mm Long) FE28012. The 1 - 7/8" (47.63mm) bit is STC178.
Using these Forstner bits is easy. First, choose the right size bit for your project. If you're using a 3/8" - 2" bit, attach the 3/8" Shank Extension Bar (FE20038) for better reach. For 2 1/4" - 4" bits, use the 1/2" Shank Extension Bar (FE28012). Make sure your workpiece is secure before starting. Align the center point of the bit on the spot where you want to cut to ensure accurate positioning. When cutting, apply steady pressure for clean and smooth results. Remember, these bits work well on different materials like wood, plastic, and MDF, but you may need to adjust your cutting speed depending on the material. As for maintenance, keep the bits clean after each use. You can use a soft brush to remove any debris. Since the teeth and cutting faces can be resharpened, when they start to dull, take them to a professional or use a proper sharpening tool to bring them back to life. This will help keep your bits in good condition and ensure they last a long time.
