What process did you use to sharpen them?
I have a set I bought 30 years ago and need to sharpen some of them.
Thanks

Hi Mike,
It sounds like you may have your mind set. I will through in a +1 on the bormax. They are pricey. I bought the 3/4" bit for my 2" thick maple work bench. I drilled a lot of holes for my bench dogs. It cut like butter every time with out clogging. Night and day b/w it and the Woodcraft brand. I would love to hear a comparison b/w them and Freud. I am not sure why FWW didn't include them in their bake off.

Those Bormax bits look good, but they're expensive and I can't find any 16ths below 11/16". But I don't want to spend that much money - looks like they'd average about $30 each.

Sorry about that Mike. I should have looked closer. Thank goodness for Mark's post. I have the set of 6 in 16ths that I got from Woodcraft several years ago. I notice it is not currently shown online (sorry again, man am I worthless, or what?) I just had to touch one up the other day. The sizing on them was quite good and they have exceeded my expectations for $12 or so.

Any manufacturing process will get you a few bad pieces. If you choose to complain about them to the public, but not to the company, then the company can't fix whatever is wrong with quality control. In the ideal world the customer would not have to inform the manufacturer about problems, but that is not the world we live in. I've gotten a couple of "lemons" from Rockler and they always made good on everything without any arguments. I think that's the best I can hope for, and it is one of the reasons I like to do business with them.
