I purchased a $20 set of Ryobi Forstner bits from Home Depot. So, does anyone have any experience with these bits? Then, I did a search on Amazon.com for "precision" Forster bits- the only thing that came up were serrated bits. Has anyone out there ever tried the serrated Forstner bits? Are they better, worse, no difference?
Cheers,
TC

Re: Forstner bit question
That set should serve you well. IIRC Ryobi makes a good bit. The ones I usually buy are Freud from Lowes.
Re: Forstner bit question
The serrated bits or "saw tooth" bits cut a little more aggressively and leave a nicer finish on the wall of the hole, so you should be good on both counts as long as the steel is decent in 'em.
