Forstner Bit Problem

[Leon]

their normal looking carbide tipped twist bits. I bought a set at the show last and returned them the next day with 2 broken bits. According to the guys selling the bits they are not intended for mild steel and mild steel will break them. Hummmmmmm. Either way they are made in China and probably the worst quality I have ever seen coming out of China.

Truly one of the best brands for woodworking bits is Colt. I have several of their brad point bits, specifically "5 STAR Brad points Bits", not their less expensive ones. Colt also makes Forstner style bits. With a Colt 5 Star 3/8" bit I can drill through a piece of oak or oak plywood with no support on the back side and get no tear out as the bit exits the back side of the wood.

Usted tiene muchas palabras de la lengua. Haber es una interesante, pero, en este caso, "tener" se indica "to have, "to possess" en Ingles y "tenedor"=fork="haver". Now you wore me out.

Apologies for the mediocre JP quote. I looked and couldn't find anything better. Some wit, knowing him to be a boracho supremo quipped that his paintings were very representational... of his thought processes.

Kukris are quite nice. But a kris....

A kris will strike fear in the viewer when seen. Owners think they're pretty. A kukri will take off heads without a second thought.

[chaniarts]

aren't you supposed to use a router to mix eggs?

[Larry Jaques]

Only in Canuckistan. OSHA frowns upon that particular practice here.

Sorry, I didn't mean to bird-en anyone. Just don't want anyone making an ash of himself.

[Edward Hennessey]

Yew know, to lift and twist lines from Pogo and Moody Blues, I'm thinking that the other guys have seen the future ash and it is us. Or it's gonna be.
