Review: Great set which looks like it will last. - Nice set of well built drill bits. Very happy with them. Be aware they produce a lot of wood chips when using them. Review: Great performance at a great value - The price point for this set is extremely reasonable for the quality and selections of bits. I just completed a fairly large project which required numerous holes of various sizes in 3/4" and 1/2" plywood. Each bit performed well - they are all well balanced, cut cleanly, and are still sharp. This is a great set! ## Features - Easily Drills High-Quality Flat-Bottomed And Pocket Holes - Features Optimized Ultra-Sharp Cutting Teeth Specifically Engineered To Cut Through Hard And Soft Woods Smoothly And Efficiently - Significantly Reduces Cutting Time Compared With Traditional Forstner Bits - Reduced Shank Fits 3/8" And Larger Drills And Drill Presses, 1-1/2" (38.1Mm), 1-5/8" (41.2Mm), 2" (50.8Mm) Forstner Bits ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071S1BGXV | | Best Sellers Rank | #18,590 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #10 in Forstner Drill Bits | | Brand | IRWIN | | Brand Name | IRWIN | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,583 Reviews | | Cutting Angle String | 6E+1 Degrees | | Cutting Diameter | 31.7 Millimeters | | Finish Type | Brushed | | Finish Types | Brushed | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00042526943553 | | Included Components | Marples Wood Drilling Forstner Bits(14) | | Item Dimensions | 3.2 x 11.6 x 11.5 inches | | Item Type Name | IRWIN Marples Wood Drilling Forstner Bit Set, 14 Piece | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Irwin Tools | | Material | Blend | | Material Type | Blend | | Minimum Bore Diameter | 6.35 Millimeters | | Model | 1966893 | | Number of Flutes | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 14 | | Part Number | 1966893 | | Point Style | Brad Point | | Set Name | IRWIN Marples Forstner Bit Set, 14 Piece | | Shank Type | Straight | | Surface Recommendation | Steel,Wood | | Tool Flute Type | Straight | | UPC | 042526943553 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | CN | ## Product Details - **Cutting Angle String:** 6E+1 Degrees - **Cutting Diameter:** 31.7 Millimeters - **Finish Type:** Brushed - **Material:** Blend - **Shank Type:** Straight ## Images ![Marples Forstner Bit Set, Wood Drill Bits, Made of Carbon Steel, Ideal for Fine Woodworking, Cabinet-making and more, 14 Pieces (1966893) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51weyPUjMxL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Do these work only with a drill press, or with a regular hand drill too?** A: They work great with a hand drill. **Q: Are these bits made in china ?** A: Yes, the IRWIN 1966893 are manufactured in China. **Q: Can the Forster bit be used in place of the hole saws to drill out the holes for the door knob and latch holes?** A: Yes, the Forster Bit can be used to drill out holes for door knobs. **Q: Made in USA?** A: Manufactured in China. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great set which looks like it will last. *by L***E on April 19, 2026* Nice set of well built drill bits. Very happy with them. Be aware they produce a lot of wood chips when using them. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great performance at a great value *by C***S on December 27, 2024* The price point for this set is extremely reasonable for the quality and selections of bits. I just completed a fairly large project which required numerous holes of various sizes in 3/4" and 1/2" plywood. Each bit performed well - they are all well balanced, cut cleanly, and are still sharp. This is a great set! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good bits; good value *by B***T on June 9, 2020* These bits will work well for me for years to come as I've been using a very cheaply made no-name set that I bought 20 years for the casual uses I've had as a hobbyist -- making pine block derby AWANA racecars, making holes to countersink screws on little woodworking projects, etc. I've provided photos of exactly what I received showing the bits, storage/carrying case (which sort of has no handle), and also included photos of the shiny cardstock sleeve the plastic storage case came in. Maybe of interest, I also included a couple of pictures that show the 1 3/8" bit from this set alongside a Freud bit I bought a while back (from another retailer) to drill holes for cabinet hinges. I noticed that the tops of these bits are designed differently. If you are a "high-end" user who would need to frequently sharpen these bits (etc) and expect to get a lot of production use out of them, you might want to look at the last photo and see the different styles of the tops of these two brands of bits in case you prefer one type over the other. In all fairness, I probably paid about $15 for the single Freud bit, so, for me as a hobbyist, the value of this 14-bit set for the price I paid Amazon is a much better deal. ## Frequently Bought Together - IRWIN Marples Forstner Bit Set, Wood Drill Bits, Made of Carbon Steel, Ideal for Fine Woodworking, Cabinet-making and more, 14 Pieces (1966893) - Milescraft 1318 DrillMate Portable Drillling Guide – Precision Drilling Jig Attachment for Drilling Angled or Straight Holes, Adjustable Drill Guide Attachment, Portable Drill Press with 3/8” Chuck --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/43846399-marples-forstner-bit-set-wood-drill-bits-made-of-carbon](https://www.desertcart.it/products/43846399-marples-forstner-bit-set-wood-drill-bits-made-of-carbon) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
