Key Features
- Industrial carbide tips - maintain a sharp cutting edge through heavy production runs, reducing the need for frequent bit changes and lowering downtime costs
- 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures broad compatibility with most boring machines, making setup fast and straightforward
- Right hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most multi-spindle boring machines for safe, efficient operation
- 4 mm diameter with a maximum hole depth of 27 mm - delivers precise, shallow bores suited to hardware installation, shelf pin drilling, and joinery work in panels and solid wood
- 57.5 mm overall length - provides the reach needed for multi-spindle boring heads while maintaining stability during the cut
- Compatible with drill press and hand held drill tools - versatile enough for bench use or portable drilling applications when needed
- Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - protects your investment and signals the manufacturer's confidence in the long-term durability of this bit
Why This Product
- The carbide tipped construction means this brad point boring bit holds up through repetitive production drilling in demanding materials like composites and solid surface, where ordinary high-speed steel bits wear quickly
- The adjustable 10 mm shank design removes compatibility guesswork - it fits most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, making it a practical drop-in solution for existing shop setups
- The brad point tip geometry produces clean entry points and accurate hole placement in veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, helping eliminate tearout and rework on finished panel surfaces
- Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this bit represents a long-term tooling investment rather than a consumable, making it a cost-effective choice for high-volume boring operations
