The Freud 5 mm Brad Point Bit (BP50070L) is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multi-spindle machine environments. With a 10 mm shank fitted with an adjustable top screw, this bit integrates smoothly with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines, delivering repeatable, clean-entry holes in composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. Left-hand rotation makes it the correct choice for left-hand spindle configurations, and the industrial carbide tip construction ensures extended service life even under heavy production demands. Crafted in Italy and backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this 5 mm boring bit is a dependable addition to any professional woodworking or cabinet production operation.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - resist wear and heat buildup during high-cycle production runs, maximizing bit longevity and reducing replacement frequency.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures broad compatibility with most multi-spindle boring machines, minimizing the need for adapter hardware.
• Left-hand (LH) rotation - matches left-hand spindle machines precisely, eliminating the risk of incorrect rotation and delivering clean, accurate entry holes.
• 5 mm diameter with 70 mm overall length and 35 mm maximum hole depth - provides controlled boring depth suited to cabinet and furniture panel applications.
• Compatible with drill press and hand-held drill - offers versatility beyond dedicated boring machines, allowing use in a wider range of shop setups.
• Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term assurance of quality, reducing the financial risk of tool investment in a production environment.
• Sold individually (pack quantity: 1) - allows targeted replacement of a single bit without purchasing excess inventory.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for multi-spindle boring machines, this bit accommodates both automatic and manual machine configurations - making it a practical, flexible choice for cabinet shops and woodworking production lines that drill high volumes of shelf pin, hinge, or hardware holes.
• The carbide tip construction is built for superior performance and maximum life, meaning production shops can reduce downtime from bit changes and maintain consistent hole quality across demanding materials such as hardwoods, veneered plywood, and solid surface panels.
• Left-hand rotation is a critical specification for multi-spindle machines with LH spindles - selecting the correct rotation prevents bit slippage, splintering, and inaccurate hole placement, all of which this bit directly addresses.
• Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this bit offers production-level reliability with the confidence of long-term manufacturer support - a meaningful consideration when tooling is a recurring operational cost.
