This unique geomtric design has multiple cutting edges that produce greater shearing action, allowing for faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Competitive forstner bit designs produce small chips and dust that collect in the cutting area, increasing friction and heat, thus causing the bit to dull quickly. Those designs also create holes with rough edges that require sanding. In addition to serrated edges, Precision Shear Forstner Bits include a hardened steel body for longer life and sharper edge, an ultra sharp spur to ensure accurate holes and less "walking", and steep angled cutting edges to produce holes that are smooth and flat. Review: best Forstner bit I have used so far - I have used this Forstner bit for quite a few times over the span of a year, and I would say its performance is excellent. I have bought each size individually and am now only a few bit short of a full set. They all remain sharp for very long time and do not rust. I wish they had such bits for the metric system. Review: Bad to the Bone - Freud Precision Shear Serrated Edge Forstner Drill Bit 1-1/2-Inch by 3/8-Inch Shank (PB-011)... Project: drilling a inch and a half diameter hole through 5 inch thick piece of Brazilian Ebony (For reference Oak has a Janka hardness of 1290, this ebony has a Janka hardness of 3690 making it three times harder than Oak). I burnt up a brand new big box store forstner bit and only got 1/16" deep. This Freud bit cut through that ebony like a hot knife in butter. After I drilled the whole I realized that I had actually drilled it about 1/8 off center so I scrapped that piece and started anew. Second time was the same as the first (minus being off center) and after I was done I could find no degradation in the sharpness of the cutting surfaces. Like its still brand new and the edges of the hole looked like it was cut with a laser, nice and smooth. Holy cow ! I've always known that Freud was top of the line but never justified the cost. I will only be buying Freud going forward. ## Features - Specs: Diameter 1-1/2", Length 3-1/2", Rotation RH, Shank 3/8" - Razor sharp serrated edge for fast and flawless cutting - Quality Forged Construction for extended life - Ultra Sharp Spur to ensure an accurate starting hole - Steep Angled Cutting Edges – produce holes that are smooth and flat, and create “chisel-like" curls for fast, clean chip removal. - Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000AV72W | | Best Sellers Rank | #36,725 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #22 in Forstner Drill Bits | | Brand | Freud | | Brand Name | Freud | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 427 Reviews | | Cutting Diameter | 1.5 inches | | Finish Type | Brushed | | Finish Types | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00008925028932 | | Included Components | Drilling Boring accessory for Precision Shear Forstner Bits | | Item Dimensions | 6.6 x 3.25 x 1.55 inches | | Item Type Name | Drilling Boring | | Item Weight | 4.16 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 6.6 x 3.25 x 1.55 inches | | Manufacturer | Freud | | Material | Blend | | Material Type | Blend | | Minimum Bore Diameter | 1.5 inches | | Model | PB-011 | | Number of Flutes | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | PB-011 | | Point Style | Center Point | | Shank Type | Straight | | Surface Recommendation | Wood | | Tool Flute Type | tool_flute | | UPC | 008925028932 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Freud Limited Tooling Warranty.

After 20 holes, I gave it a light touch-up with the Dremel and kept on eating. 👍 ## Frequently Bought Together - Freud PB-011: 1-1/2" (Dia.) Forstner Bit - Freud PB-009: 1-1/4" (Dia.)
