Product Description
The Freud 1/4" (Dia.) Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multi-spindle machine environments. Built to handle composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, this left-hand rotation bit delivers consistent, clean results across a wide range of wood-based and engineered panel materials. With a 10mm shank and a total length of 70mm, it is compatible with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines as well as drill presses and hand held drills - making it a versatile choice for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and woodworking professionals who demand reliable performance and maximum tool life.
Key Features
- Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional hardness and edge retention, extending the working life of the bit through repeated use in demanding production environments.
- Left-hand (LH) rotation - designed specifically for left-hand spindle machines, ensuring clean entry points and reducing tear-out on finished surfaces.
- 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - allows for quick, secure mounting and compatibility with most boring machine chucks, reducing setup time between jobs.
- 1/4" (Dia.) cutting diameter with a maximum hole depth of 35mm - sized precisely for standard boring applications in cabinetry and panel processing without over-penetrating workpieces.
- 70mm total length - provides adequate reach for multi-spindle machine setups while maintaining bit rigidity for accurate, on-center holes.
- Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving buyers confidence in long-term performance and value.
- Compatible with composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - a single bit handles a broad range of materials, reducing the need for multiple specialized tools.
Why This Product
- If your operation relies on multi-spindle boring machines for cabinet or furniture production, this bit's 10mm shank with adjustable top screw mounts quickly and securely across most machine types - keeping your production line moving without repeated tooling adjustments.
- The industrial carbide tip construction means this boring bit is built for repeated, high-cycle use - not just occasional drilling - making it a practical investment for shops that process large volumes of panel and solid wood materials daily.
- With left-hand rotation and a sharp brad point geometry, the bit enters material cleanly and holds center accurately, which is critical when drilling for hardware, shelf pins, or joinery in finished cabinetry and veneered panels where tear-out is unacceptable.
- The Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee means this bit is backed for the long term, offering production environments a lower total cost of ownership compared to unwarranted tooling options.
