ZOBO Forstner-Style Bit Set

[Field]

Hi everyone,

I am thinking about buying the 5-Piece ZOBO Forstner-Style Bit Set I saw in this video:

ZOBO Bit Set
and now I have the strong urge to buy them.
So my question to everybody who has already had the cchance to use them: Are they as versatile as they look and worth the buy?

Hi Field,

First
[welcome]

Zorbo bits are  very good , the quality of the cut is fantastic in Hard/ Soft woods and manmade materials. They do exactly as seen in the video . Never used them in a drill press only with cordless festools drills and they perform very well. Be careful with the twist drill as it is a little delicate and it has a tapered shank so its an expensive item to replace.
You would be disappointed if you purchased them.

I bought the set when they first came out here and have used them for both straight and angle drilling. They drill great through hard and soft woods. I would recommend them and would buy the set again if I had to. Haven't had any types break yet. As someone mentioned, maybe Shane, the bits are designed to be resharpened up to 30 mal.

Hi Field,

Welcome to the FOG !  [smile]

I have not used the Zobo bits. But all the feedback I have read is very positive.

The decision is made then.  [wink]
