Hello, this is my first post here—so first, thanks everyone for all the helpful comments I've been reading over the past couple of years!
Now, I'm looking for a new set of forstner bits. I've read great reviews on here about both the Fisch and the Freud Precision Shear (not the Diablo), and I've narrowed it down to those two.
As they are pretty similar looking (forged, made in Austria, wave/scalloped edge, etc.), I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to actually compare them side by side?
Are the Fisch any better than the Freud? And if so, are they enough better to justify the price difference (for a hobbyist woodworker)?
Thanks for your help!
