Product Description
The Freud 12 mm Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multi-spindle machine environments. Supplied with a 10 mm shank and an adjustable top screw, this left-hand rotation bit integrates seamlessly with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines. Whether you are working with hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, or composites, this brad point boring bit delivers clean, accurate holes with consistent performance across demanding production applications.
Key Features
- Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life through repeated use in high-volume boring operations.
- 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, making this bit a versatile choice for both automatic and manual multi-spindle setups.
- Left-hand rotation (LH) - engineered specifically for left-hand spindle positions on multi-spindle boring machines, ensuring clean entry and accurate hole geometry.
- 12 mm cutting diameter with a 27 mm maximum hole depth - suited for standard cabinet and furniture boring applications where consistent depth control is critical.
- 57.5 mm overall length - provides adequate clearance and reach within multi-spindle boring heads without compromising rigidity.
- Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - reflects confidence in the bit's construction and gives buyers assurance of long-term performance value.
- Designed for superior performance and maximum life - means fewer tool changes and lower replacement costs in production environments where uptime matters.
Why This Product
- The carbide-tipped brad point design is purpose-built for multi-spindle boring machines, making it a natural fit for cabinet shops and woodworking facilities that demand repeatable, chip-free holes in hardwoods, softwoods, and veneered plywood.
- The adjustable top screw on the 10 mm shank gives this bit broad machine compatibility, reducing the need for adapter hardware or machine-specific tooling investments.
- Left-hand rotation is a specific requirement for many multi-spindle boring configurations - this bit is built to that spec, eliminating guesswork when equipping LH spindle positions.
- Backed by the Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this bit is a long-term tooling investment rather than a consumable, particularly valuable in shop environments where boring bits see continuous, heavy use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of machine is this brad point bit designed for?
This Freud brad point boring bit is designed for multiple spindle machines - both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. It is supplied with a 10 mm shank and an adjustable top screw that makes it compatible with most boring machines of this type.
What materials can this 12 mm brad point bit drill through?
This bit is designed to drill all composition materials, solid surface materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods. It is also suitable for composites and veneered plywood, making it a versatile choice for cabinet making, furniture manufacturing, and other woodworking applications.
Why is the left-hand rotation important when selecting this bit?
Multi-spindle boring machines often have both right-hand and left-hand spindle positions. The BP12757L features left-hand (LH) rotation, which means it must be used in a left-hand spindle position. Using the correct rotation direction ensures clean hole entry, accurate boring, and proper chip ejection - so it is essential to match this bit to the correct spindle on your machine.
What is the maximum hole depth this bit can achieve?
The Freud BP12757L has a maximum hole depth of 27 mm. With a 12 mm cutting diameter and 57.5 mm overall length, it is well suited for standard cabinet and furniture boring depths while maintaining the rigidity needed for accurate, repeatable results in production settings.
