The Freud 1/4" (Dia.) Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling on multiple spindle machines. Built by Freud with a 10mm shank and an adjustable top screw, this bit is compatible with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, delivering clean, accurate holes in composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. Left hand rotation makes it purpose-built for dedicated boring applications where consistent hole quality and extended tool life matter most.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional hardness and edge retention, meaning fewer bit changes and lower tooling costs over time when drilling demanding materials.
• Left hand (LH) rotation - purpose-designed for multi-spindle boring machine configurations that require counter-clockwise cutting, ensuring clean entry and reduced tear-out.
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - delivers broad compatibility with most boring machines so you can swap bits quickly without retooling or adapters.
• 1/4" (6.35mm) cutting diameter with a 57.5mm overall length - sized for precision boring tasks where a controlled, consistent hole diameter is essential to joinery and assembly quality.
• Maximum hole depth of 27mm - suited to standard panel boring applications in cabinet and furniture production without over-penetrating the workpiece.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in the investment.
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - carbide construction resists heat and wear even during high-cycle production runs on automatic multi-spindle machines.

Why This Product

• If your shop runs a multi-spindle boring machine on cabinet or furniture panels, this bit's 10mm shank with adjustable top screw slots directly into most machine heads - no specialty adapters needed, saving setup time on production runs.
• Industrial carbide tipping means this bit holds a sharp edge through repeated passes in hardwoods, veneered plywood, and solid surface materials - reducing downtime from frequent bit replacement in high-volume environments.
• The left hand rotation spec is not an afterthought - it is the correct cutting direction for left-hand boring machine spindles, ensuring the bit pulls cleanly into the material rather than skating or deflecting.
• Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this carbide brad point boring bit represents a long-term tooling solution rather than a disposable consumable, making it a cost-effective choice for professional woodworking and millwork operations.
