Cutting dozens of mortises in white oak - and finding that my inexpensive Porter Cable forstner bits simply aren't cutting it (pardon the pun). Seriously - I'm getting some burn in the wood.
Will be buying a forstner bit set either woodcraft (they have a set on sale) - or Grizzly.
Any recommendations?
My criteria:
- clean cuts (drilling mortises)
- minimal burning, if any at all
- sizes up to 1.25"
Most of my mortises are 0.5" Have a few 3/8" mortises, as well.
I have a couple of whopper mortises (pass through mortises) that are 1.25".
It's all on white oak ------
