I have both the forstner and the spade bits and wondered why I'd ever use my spade bits. Now I know. Spade bits are down and dirty and fast and the forsener bits are clean and precise. My work I do is what I'd call clean and precise. So that's why I love my forstner bits. I did a search and found your article. I'm now a subscriber and will watch every one of yours. I'm not a great woodworker, but I am one that wants to learn a little bit more each day. So thank you.
I did not know this. I use forstner bits and they do tend to be difficult for the holes I’m trying to cut- it never occurred to me that I probably should be using a paddle, or spade, bit. Thank you for the info!
Love the subject and getting straight to the point. My only criticism is that your audio levels are a little low and I had to turn my headphones up to hear you properly.
Thanks for the video. Now, what about those saw bits you showed at the end of the video? I know those come on fairly small sizes, too, so that can't be the distinguishing feature.
Also your spade bit has the screw in tip which makes the bit drive in for a faster whole.that bit I wouldn't use in construction as well. My main use for anything with a screw drive to it is in wide and thick pieces of wood. I've Used them in some rough wood crafts.
Bro. Try putting the spades on a drill. Drills like butter. Spades are typically made for through and through holes. Fast. Rough. Sometime got splits. Forstners are meant to drill a half way hole. More like similar to a router bit than a spade. They bore holes so clean and with precision. So much time will take if used in a through and through hole.

Great review. I’m a beginner and the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don’t know. Thanks for the informative video
Thank you for the Info
I'd love to see loads more videos like this. Liked and subscribed!
Amazing!! More are in the woodworks. pun intended.
Ha! I like the cut of your jig (pun also intended)
Very clear, thank you!
Electrician here. Spade bits are WAY faster in a drill than an impact. Try it next time you get a chance.

Noted thanks for the input. I’ve been having some small issues with me microphone and editing software working together.
@@beanstalkbuildsI'm actually happy with the audio levels and audio quality.
Nice work crocs

I like my holes clean so I guess I need the Forstner bit
