I have a set of no-name Forstner bits that I can't even recall where I bought them - Maybe MLCS? I use them infrequently and on domestic woods but they're better than not having any Forstner bits.

Thanks all.  I bought the Roman Carbide set.  They were a bit more, but they did not break the bank.  We will see how they are.  They should be here next week.  Is it fair for me to try them out prior to wrapping them?
