What Are Forstner Bits Used for?
A forstner bit is a special boring tool that is much more versatile than a twist drill. It has a center point that allows you to accurately locate it on your workpiece. It works by scoring the cutting circle with spurs that are located on its circumference. It then shaves the stock out of the hole by means of two horizontal cutting edges. You can do many things with a forstner bit that would be impossible to do with an ordinary drill.
