What is Forstner bit used for?
These workhorses are specialised drill bits used primarily for drilling precise, clean, flat-bottomed holes in wood. You can use them to hollow out holes for your prize coin collection, cut a smooth access hole through a desktop for computer cables, and so much more.
Can you use a Forstner bit in a regular drill?
Because of the small point care need to be taken when starting the drill or it will wander. Using a machine Forstner bit in a hand brace or hand drill is also possible but you should drill a pilot hole first to make it easier.
What speed do you drill with a Forstner bit?
Forstner bits are made to be run at very slow speeds. ie 150rpm or a little bit more. You have a large cutting surface which has to be allowed to cut if the speed is too high it just glazes over the top of the hole and generates heat and blunts the bit.
