Product Description
Freud 1/4" (Dia.) Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for demanding woodworking and cabinet production environments. Built by Freud for use on automatic or manual multiple spindle boring machines, this right-hand rotation brad point bit delivers clean, precise entry points in a wide range of materials - from hardwoods and softwoods to composites, solid surface panels, and veneered plywood. With a 10mm shank and an adjustable top screw for broad machine compatibility, it is equally at home on a drill press or hand held drill.
Key Features
- Industrial carbide tips - provide superior hardness and edge retention compared to standard high-speed steel bits, extending tool life under the rigors of production boring
- 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, reducing the need for adapters or special tooling
- 1/4" diameter with 57.5mm overall length - sized for precise boring in cabinetry and furniture applications where tight dimensional accuracy is required
- 27mm maximum hole depth - suited for shelf pin holes, hardware mounting, and similar standard cabinet boring tasks without risk of over-penetration
- Right-hand rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most production boring machines and hand held drills for predictable, consistent results
- Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against manufacturing defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in their investment
- Designed for superior performance and maximum life - carbide construction resists heat buildup and dulling even during high-volume drilling runs
Why This Product
- The industrial carbide tipped construction makes this brad point bit a reliable choice for high-volume cabinet and furniture shops that cannot afford frequent bit replacements or downtime from dull tooling.
- The 10mm shank with an adjustable top screw means this bit drops into most existing multi-spindle boring machines without modification, saving setup time on the shop floor.
- Material versatility is a genuine strength here - one bit handles composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, reducing the need to swap tooling between different panel types.
- The brad point tip geometry delivers a clean, centered entry point that reduces tear-out on veneer and finished surfaces, making it appropriate for visible or finished-panel applications.
