2.25"-3.125" Forstner set?

[gc1]

Just got my 24 PC Forstner set, and had expected them to be made in Taiwan as were the router bits (excellent quality) I bought from this [to remain un-named] company. Instead, I got ebay quality junk--Chinese made crap that set me back $119.00. I've searched the web, and don't see anything that looks better/different, and it seems few places even sell bit sets this large. What I'm hoping is; someone knows of a set of high quality bits in the 2.25" to 3.125" size... I can do without the smaller ones for now, but really need the larger ones...... any help I would very much appreciate.
Thanks, GC

They don't have a lot of large bits, but I've never gotten a substandard bit from them.

HTH,

> I would recomend checking out PriceCutter.com. I believe their bits might be chinese but they have hex shanks and hold an edge as well as any highspeed steel bits I have bought including the Freud set I paid $159.99 for.
