I was looking at a Freud 1 3/8” forstner bit on Amazon and noticed an interesting review. The reviewer had nothing but good things to say about the bit, but then ended with a statement that made me question the purchase I was about to make. He said, “Also this is not the bit for man made materials ie MDF, plywood, chip board. I use it only on hardwood styles- High speed steel wont go far in MDF!” Is this true? I’m looking for a bit to drill cups for some Blum hinges that I’m using to mount some MDF doors on some MDF cabinets in my garage. Should I be looking for carbide tips? -- Joshua, Olathe, Kansas |
