CNC machined or wood drill bit?<\/strong><\/p>\n I am currently enrolled in an online workshop class and the instructor keeps talking about how great the \u201cFish\u201d bits he has been using perform. When I looked up the 7-piece set he kept raving about, I quickly noticed the price was just north of $100 (USD). Yikes!<\/p>\n As it turns out the brand name is actually Fisch. Apparently for trademark reasons they were originally marketed in the US as Fish until around 2015\u00a0 and then were labeled correctly as Fisch.\u00a0 Because of this, you might see both spellings floating around online.<\/p>\n Despite the price, I decided to order a set which showed up in a couple days. After drilling a couple holes, it was obvious the Fisch bits were nothing like your average twist drill bit or any other wood bit I had used for that matter.\u00a0 There was absolutely no tear out where the bit entered the wood and surprisingly very little tear out where they exited. The actual bore through the wood could not have looked better if you machined it on a CNC machine.<\/p>\n The bits also feature four perfectly ground spirals for a perfect bore and fast chip removal. I will warn you in advance, these bits are SHARP<\/strong> and you won\u2019t be able to \u201cflick\u201d shavings out of the flutes as you do on a normal bit as doing so will likely remove some skin.<\/p>\n![\"Quality](\"http:\/\/toolsinaction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/5x.jpg\")
<\/a>The Fisch HSS wood twist drill<\/strong> bit is manufactured with chrome steel. It has a precision center point, two main cutters, and two identical height spur cutters.\u00a0 The design allows it to pull down and separate the wood fibers when you start the drilling process eliminating tear out.<\/p>\n
