I learn so much by watching your videos. Most videos I watch on TH-cam I am dumber at the conclusion, BUT NOT YOURS! Thank you.
I am new to wood working and thanks to Stumpy Nubs I am even MORE interested. I have learned so much from these videos. The more I learn the more I want to learn! Great job keep it up. I like your teaching techniques! I know I don't know much and it's nice you don't point out how stupid I am by talking down the viewer! Now I too am looking into Fisch bits!
I've been turning peppermills on and off for several years, using a $50-60 set of clunker sawtooth Forstners. The peppermill pattern I use requires bits from 7/8" to 1 3/4" bits. Even though I'm not hard on ol' Benjamin Forstner's bits, these clunkers repeatedly dulled quickly. Ain't nobody likes burning wood in a wood shop.
So I followed Mr. Hamilton's suggestions and began replacing my clunkers with Fisch®and Freud®Forstners. MUCH better so far. Pretty much like the difference between riding on a riding lawn mower and riding in any decent car.
Thanks, Stumpy Nubs!
I’ve been using Bosch continuous rim bits for 20+ years but you’ve done a good job convincing me about the (Fisch) wave bits…sponsors or not! :)
Thank you for making videos with clear, specific information. I rarely leave your videos questioning whether or not I got the information I was searching for.
Thanks! 40+yrs in the trades and I just learned something new. Thanks again!
Love your tutorials. Thank you for sharing so much great information with the woodworking community.
I watched this presentation a few years ago. I bought the bits you recommended.
Thanks for the recommendation. The bits still work fine.
Just want to say thanks, this was a very helpful video for me. I've been using a hole saw bit and using a chisel to get out the remaining wood, but now I will for sure be using these forstner bits!
NICE! This is the way a video should be made. Clean, Clear and to the point.
late to the woodworking scene but your videos are bringing me up to speed. thank you 👍
Jim, thanks for taking the time to put out this vid. I didn't know there ARE different types of bits.
Is there any other brands you can recommend that might be less then the (Fisch)
James great information and explanation on forstner bits. I have always used the continuous forstner bits, but now I'm gonna start replacing them as they go!
Now I know why I can't find any vintage woodworking tools? You have 'em all! Great video. I knew that there were different types available, but didn't know how they compared to each other. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Awesome info that was all new to me. I am with you, buy once cry once. Buy the high quality item and you often get what you pay for. It hurts the pocket up front, but it will last MUCH longer, and not only that, it's more enjoyable to use.
Buy well and you only cry once! Love Grandma!
I didn't realize that I needed to know that much about forstner bits! Thank you for the education!
From a good Serbian friend that made his own lathe for glass blowing, "I'm too poor to be cheap". Buy quality even if it costs more, you'll save in the long run!
I watched your Forstner bit video and could see that I was only wasting time and money on cheap bit. I took the dive and purchased the Fisch wave bits. I used them today. Great advise, I love using them. Thanks for this video and your advice!
I cannot believe that video clip at the end!!!! That is INSANE!!! Jesus... you sold me...
I am a welder/fabricator,now I'm officially one of your online students in wood work. Great info and tips
I am also a certified welder of 19yrs and I have been looking into bringing up my woodworking skills up to my metal knowledge.
I took up welding 18yrs ago because a miscut or mistake was easier to repair 😅
You cant weld everything around the house so new skills are needed
Thank you, Sir for explaining this in the detail you did. I was about to order a set of medium quality sawtooth bits for a meticulously detailed project I was going to start and decided to cancel that order and buy a much higher quality set of wave cutter bits instead (especially since I've waited ages to get this timber delivered in lockdown and the last thing I want is shredding the wood during cuts, although they won't be as deep as the ones you put into that maple). Thank you for your time! :-)
Great video Stumpy. Really appreciate the content you produce.
I finally bought a set of Fisch forstner bits! They have been on my wish list since this video in 2017. They are Sweet :-) Perfectly clean edges! I grabbed a cheap piece of plywood, from a shipping container I salvaged. The veneer on this stuff is crap. However, the Fisch, wavy edge bit cut perfectly clean rims. Much better than the saw tooth bits I have. After only four test cuts I can already tell I am going to love these! There will be less cursing in the shop now!
Thank you for your videos, You can really tell that your put a lot of effort into your program and you have excellent content information. Really well done.
I totally agree with you, the Fisch Wave bits are the best I have used so far. Cheers, Jim
Super instructive video. Well presented and easy to follow. Thank you so much.
Superb as always - love your presentations and application of what comes across as common sense - but only once you know. Thank you.
It's clear you know your way around a shop. Great video.
I’m Convinced and Thank You for a well put video that answered all my questions I had.
Thx’s
Thanks for this have been strugling with this and looking for a solution. The info here made my decision-making process alot more simple
Thank you for the educational information regarding forstner bits. You offer a wealth of information.
Eventhough Stumpy Nubs got sponsored he still hard to debate Because he is very strong in observation and always testing the tools in real application 👍
VERY WELL DONE Mr Nubbs. GREAT content and these videos are, IMHO filled with facts.
Thanks again for the videos.
Awesome information I didn't even know there are this many types. I have to say your test I said well are there any question. Going this route as I start to replace my worn bits. Thank you for all the information.
I just bought a set of 16 Fisch Wave Cutter Forstner bits after doing a great deal of research. They were on sale at Highland Woodworking and they should be here in a couple of days. Then I saw your video on Forstner bits which confirmed to me that I had bought the best set for the money. I picked up my set for $249.99 (regular price is $359.99) and S&H was an additional $13.99. I thought this was a great deal on some very high quality bits that should last me for many years to come. Thanks for the great video and for the confirmation that I have purchased a great set of drill bits.
Impressive test James. Thanks.
Great test. I appreciate the honesty
Thank you very much, I too learn a lot with your videos. I was looking for a better solution than what I currently have and will give these a try.
Excellent video and explanation!
Great video, very informative and even before the end I decided that "wavy rim" is what I am going to go in for and wow, what a great finish to the video where you repeatedly bored into that lump of Maple. Excellent viewing.
Thanks for the quick and simple explanation!
Thank you for the review. I will have to agree the wave cutter is the better choice. I am in the process of replacing some of my very old tools and was looking for the wave cutter and glad I took the time to watch this video. My memory is not as good as it used to be and when I first purchase my old bits was 25 years ago and never wrote down the model and where I purchased them and having moved from state to state with the military I lost track so thank you for the refresher.
Very informative. Thanks for detailing out these bits
A very useful video which helped me choose the best bit for my purpose. Thanks.
Great video, and it was perfect in helping me to decide what to ask for...wavy for sure!! Thank you!! Cheers from Canada.:)
I had no idea there were three different types. Glad I watched this. Thank you
Very informative video on Forstner bits, especially the wavy rim bit which I didn't know about.
What I DO know about the Forstner bits is, the word should be capitalised because they are named after and by Benjamin Forstner, a gunsmith born in Pennsylvania USA.
Forstner bits were originally designed to be used in a brace.
I'm not Bored of your videos """ thxs so much for sharing , you just helped me increase my game, thanxs again!
What a great, informative post. Thanks so much!
I followed your narration of getting a wavy-rim bit (won't mention brand), but must admit that this type of bit cut just great for the first time using such a bit AND at an angle [45], shavings came off easily, very clean cut, and fits my drill press.....I think I'm going to Subscribe!! Thanks for the differences!
Valuable info as always. Needed a 20mm forsener bit, checked your review first, bought one on Axminster Tools in the UK for £19. Thanks.
This was really helpful! Thank you!
Your videos are awesome! Very informative! Who knew there were different types of forstner bits?
Thank you man. Great information, answered my question thoroughly. Appreciate your videos very much.
5 stars! 👍
After first bying cheap forstnerbits I thougt theywere nothing to have but after seeing this video I bought more expensive Makita bits but they were also worthless so I went back to the store with them and orderd new ones from amazon. This time Fisch bits and got them today. I’m so hapy with them. What a difference. Best advice is to buy real stuff direct but as you said you don’t need to buy all at once but don’t throw away money on scrap so you can’t afford real tools when you need them.
Thanks for the tip. I have a set, haven't used them yet. Like you suggested, going to buy some choice sizes.
Was gifted a set of Irwin Forstner bits by and old wood shop teacher, a great upgrade from a spade bits and hole saws.
You are right. I did learn things I didn't know about forstner bits-thanks
Thank you for the highly educational video. I now feel confident to go and buy some decent Forstner bits to replace the big box store ones I already have. These have been a disappointment to use and I now know why.
Very informative.. And as usual you always giving an honest review 😎👍
Super informative as always, thank you.
Very usefull info. Thanks for posting
Great video. I learned a lot. Thanks Barry
Thanks. I have been thinking of getting some forstner bits and didn't know there were different types.
So happy to have discovered you! Thanks for this great tutorial!!!! Happy Boring!
Thanks, this was very informative.
Thanks James. Informative as ever.
You're giving away some of my best secrets!
fantastic explanation as usual!! congratulations!!
A test like that is most definitely scientific! Great info as always thanks!
I really like bormax bits they hold up really well and very nice
Love watching your videos. Would it be possible in a future episode for you talk about how you store the tools behind you and what you have?
Now that was really informative. . . . never knew they existed. Totally agree with your scenario . . . buy a few regular ones and then others if your going to use them regularly. . . . if your not then use your existing ones. Will be going out and buying 3 wavy toothed ones. Cheers.
Been super frustrated using spade bits, might end up getting a forstner instead. Using wine corks as dowels to join a desk together, definitely a non-conventional use but a very fun introductory project for me! Thanks for the great info, I've seen drill bits crap out after much less use than that so surprising it was able to consistently chew through that maple glacier.
"Corks! Never enough corks! Let's procure some more! Red? White? Rosé?" 😉
Incredibly helpful!
Thank you, now I need forstner bits. (want). Learned from your video. Thank you.....
Thank you this video helped me a lot.
Thank you for this video. I am in the UK, and Amazon UK looked like the best place to buy the Fisch bits, but no. I found them cheaper on the Amazon Germany site (a lot cheaper) and managed to get a set of 5 (15-35mm) for about £75 delivered in to the UK, and that includes tax and delivery of around £30!! Subscribed.
thanks for the education on the forstner bits. my shop school didn't cover them
Great, informative video. I wasn't 'bored' at all! ;)
Thank you so very much for sharing this.. This is awesome!
Thanks a bunch! This was a very useful video.
I never knew there were different types of foreigner bits. Thanks for the video. I have set of saw tooth bits and just thought they were all the same.
Great video and as always very informative
Very helpful. I didn’t know any of this
Perfect Explaination, thank you.
Need them wavy bits! Thanks for the info!
Thank you so much.
Great video sir. I was just checking my bits and found most of the cheap bits to have birs and Nick's that I wouldn't be happy with on a knife or other blade. As these are blades it looks like I need to replace my bits.
Awesome video! Thanks!!
Great video! You sold me so I bought the set. (With your link of course)
Grizzly sells a set of Forstner bits with carbide cutting tips. I’ve had them over 15 years, drilled thousands of holes, and they’re still sharp.
sure do appreciate your wisdom my friend!
Thanks 👍 very useful.
Great video! Thanks for the information!
Totally appreciate your video
Never knew, now I do thanks stumpy !
Thanks bro! Well done!
A few month's ago I bought five Festool forstner bits. They were pricey but they sure as hell can do the job.
exactly what i needed to know, thank you!
Great info I didn't know....bought a set of 7 for $95...not bad at all for quality bits!
