Quality Forstner Bits UK

[mac sparrow]

Hello chaps,

I'm after a supplier of forstner bits in the UK. I've got the Festool Zobo bits in metric which are great, though the selection is limited.  So what other manufacturers would you suggest in the UK?

Ideally I'd like to source the forstner bits from 1 supplier/manufacturer as it's easier for me to track, trace, catalogue and build an integrated bit storage solution.

Immediately I need 3 x imperial forstner bits, 3/8", 1/2" & 3/4".  In the long run I know I will need more hence trying to find a single supplier/manufacturer that offers the full range and are high quality.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you.

Famag are available in metric and imperial from online and bricks and mortar stockists, the Boremax range also come in a tct version for longer life in mdf or more abrasive materials.

Thank you both, very helpful.

Looks like Famag have a better selection and seem readily available in the UK too.

John, it says you are a retailer, do you mind PM'ing me your details to buy the bits from you IF you sell them in support of taking the time to help me out?

Cheers

Same here John, would be good to know of a UK retailer via FOG selling decent kit.
