Keggers Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 I'm in need of a 1 1/2" Forstner bit. I bought a set of bits several years ago and don't need another set - just the 1 1/2" one. I'd like to buy a high quality bit and am looking for suggestions as to where and what I should buy. The bit that I'm needing to replace has gotten too hot and is quite dull. Rather than try to sharpen it I'm just going to replace it. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom King Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 ebay and amazon probably have singles, in a choice of brands, with free shipping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keggers Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks for the replies. I ordered a couple of Freud bits off of amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three month backorder for a drill bit... either somebody really screwed up or that's a placeholder date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drzaius Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 They're out of stock in Canada as well. Very good bits though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
