CMT 308.150.11 Dowel Drill - 19/32" x 1-3/16" x 2-17/64" RH by CMT is a precision carbide-tipped boring tool engineered for clean, flat-bottom blind holes in panel processing and cabinetmaking applications. With a 15mm cutting diameter, a 30mm cutting height, and a compact 57.5mm total length, this right-hand rotation dowel drill is built to perform in multi-spindle CNC boring machines, boring centers, and panel processing equipment. Its tungsten carbide (HW) cutting edges and negatively ground spurs make it a reliable choice for solid wood, chipboard, MDF, and laminated panels where bore quality and repeatability are non-negotiable.

Key Features

• Tungsten Carbide (HW) Construction - hard carbide cutting material maintains a sharp edge longer than standard high-speed steel, reducing downtime for tool changes during high-volume panel drilling operations.
• Negatively Ground Spurs - the 2 precision-sharpened spurs score the surface of the material cleanly before the main cutting edges engage, producing flat-bottom holes with crisp, tear-out-free walls in chipboard, MDF, hardwood, and laminates.
• 2-Tooth Cutting Geometry - the dual-tooth configuration balances chip evacuation and cutting efficiency, supporting smooth boring performance in solid wood and engineered panel materials.
• 10x20mm Parallel Shank - the flat-drive shank seats securely in standard boring machine chucks and CNC multi-spindle heads, ensuring consistent registration and minimal runout during repeated boring cycles.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - designed to work with standard right-hand spindle configurations found on most CNC boring centers and multi-spindle boring machines, making it a straightforward drop-in for existing setups.
• Compact 57.5mm Total Length - the short-series profile keeps the tool close to the spindle nose, improving rigidity and reducing vibration when drilling blind holes at production volumes.

Why This Product

• The 15mm carbide-tipped bore diameter and 30mm cutting height are sized precisely for standard dowel-joint applications in cabinet and furniture production, eliminating guesswork when matching tools to joinery requirements.
• Negatively ground spurs combined with HW carbide construction means this bit handles abrasive engineered panels - chipboard, MDF, HDF, and laminates - without premature edge degradation that leads to ragged bore walls.
• The 10x20mm flat-drive shank is a standard interface for multi-spindle CNC boring machines and boring centers, so this tool integrates directly into existing production equipment without adapters or special toolholding.
• Right-hand rotation and a short-series length make this drill a practical, no-compromise choice for shops processing coated panels and hardwood components where surface quality at the bore entry is critical to finished product appearance.
