    They are Austrian and German respectively so the quality is assured. The Chinese sets are great value for money but only last a few years. Have a look at he range from www.wealdentool.com - there is more than one type of Forestner bit.! I buy carbide tipped long shank bits from www.rockler.com and they last forever - at a price of course.:D

    Marius Hornberger recommends the Bormax set you mentioned in this video if that's any help!
