Fall 2023 Showcase: Bora Tempest Forstner Bits

So Paul, if you're gonna drill a hole and you really want it to be clean walled, flat, bottomed, precise bit of choice. That's a common application and I'd take a forner bit every single time. Me too and Bora has really done a great job with this set. We both agree. Forner bits are the way to go if you want to drill a precise, accurate, very clean hole in your material. And Bora's got a bunch of cool stuff going on with this forner bits. Yeah, absolutely. The, the fact that it's made of forged steel, uh, makes it more durable, uh, keeps it sharp longer, given that it's sharp, it's gonna, it's gonna produce less heat, less heat means it's going to stay sharp longer. So, a little snake eating its tail there is, uh, the longer it lasts, the longer it lasts. And, um, if you, if you've seen smoke coming off of drill bits, you're using them too long. So, one of the things, um, I just, I want to take a second here and let's run the lathe because I, the curls that come off of this are so impressive and what we're doing here is we're punching a hole in the end grain on cherry and I think in the world of demanding tasks, um It's a little hard to beat. Um asking a lot of a forner bit. We're getting shavings, mad dust and, and very effortlessly as well and no smoke. So we have made a video about this product. Let's have a look at that video and then we'll come back and talk some more when it comes time to put holes in your woodworking projects. And you want clean holes that are an accurate size. Without question. Forester bits are the way to do that. These Bora Forester bits are crazy. Cool. We've got a bunch of stuff going on here. There's a small and very distinct center point and that's a big deal with hitting your layout spot when you're ready to drill a hole. The other thing that's great about these is they're forged and that makes a much stronger than a lot of the carbon steel bits out there. That means that they're gonna last a lot longer, they're gonna hold their edge longer, which when you're going up against hardwoods in your projects, it's really, really, really gonna pay off what we want to do next is use these to drill a couple of holes so you can really see how they work. Let's check this engine 38 spit into a cordless drill. I've got my layout marked. Take advantage of that center point punching right into that hard maple center location marked. Find where we need to be that nice center point. Now in a drill press, inch and a half cutter like butter, here's a good forner bit test cherry on a lathe. Going to punch a hole in that end. Grain, beautiful girls and smooth handheld drill drill press. Even that ingrain job on the lathe these bits do an impressive job. 10. What if you like? I'm having a quick look here to see if we have any questions on the Bora Forester Bits. Nothing yet. What a great performance. Great set of Forester bits. Um, really did a great job doing a boring operation.
