A couple of years ago, I picked up an inexpensive PC forstner bit set from Lowe's. Not complaining - they did the job ----- but they were never fantastic. They could burn the wood at times - and after a year or so of use, I noticed the bits were tearing the wood out more than they were cutting the wood.
Just recently, I replaced some of my most frequently used bits with some Freud bits. Holy smokes! You can see the difference as soon as you touch the bit to the wood.
The cutting is smooth ---- and the shavings come out as nice, curly shavings, not a bunch of sawdust or chunks of torn wood.
Lesson learned ---- good stuff makes a difference.
