Way better than 2 or 3 flute brands
This was a test purchase. This bit drills smoothly and stays cool by pushing away the debris. Flat bottom is smooth as well. I am now looking to replace my old set. Price IS a factor.

CMT Forstner Bits
Big fan of these! They cut very cleanly, and after watching Jonathan's video on how to properly use these bits, I'm not overheating and wrecking them by accident anymore.

Great Forstner bit
Did the job it was designed for, cutting holes in birch plywood.
