When it comes to Forstner bits, we choose to stick with a manufacturer that we know well, and where we are sure that any tools bearing their name are made in house (no branded imports that could be of variable quality). FAMAG in Remscheid, Germany, has a long history of making top-quality tools, and has also shown itself to be remarkably innovative. One example is the Bormax line of high-end Forstner bits designed to resist the overheating that can plague other brands. You use Forstner bits wherever you are looking for clean holes without tear-out and high dimensional stability. All the Bormax products we sell are right-hand drill bits.
With the new Bormax 2.0 drilling will be easier and heat build-up less than ever before! The tool life between resharpening is significantly longer and overall you will profit from the considerably longer service life of the new Bormax 2.0! What‘s new?
This innovative drill bit can be used both freehand and in stationary drilling equipment. It produces absolutely clean and dimensionally correct boreholes.
Suitable for softwood, hardwood, particle boards, MDF, etc.
Recommended speed 750 - 2500 rpm

i had been using Colt forstner bits and extensions. The famag are far better. they run cooler and the sides of hole are much cleaner.
I tried one the other day, absolute amazing, no binding or squealing, no buildup when drilling. These are now the only forstner bits I will use.
I bought some Famag Bormax 2.0 Fostner bits. The product ship very fast; it was as described. And work great. Will buy from here again, they have great high quality product for wood working.
These work well with my Festool 125 RO in the fine mode as they leave no sanding marks compared to non festool discs.
Very satisfied....the oak grain was beautiful...milling was A1 and glued together with no problems....will buy from here again
Used the walnut for a bow, haven’t used the others yet.
