The CMT Dowel Drill 6 x 35 x 70mm Right-Hand is a solid carbide boring bit engineered for precision dowel hole drilling in furniture manufacturing, cabinet making, and panel processing applications. Built from premium super micrograin carbide, this right-hand rotation bit delivers exceptionally clean, flat-bottom bores in hardwood, MDF, particle board, and veneered composites - making it a reliable choice for high-speed boring units and CNC router operations where hole quality and throughput both matter.

Key Features

• Solid carbide (HW) construction from premium super micrograin carbide - provides exceptional hardness and wear resistance for prolonged use in demanding materials like particle board, MDF, and hardwood, while also allowing an almost infinite number of resharpenings for long-term tool value.
• Curved, negatively ground spurs (2 spurs) - produce exceptionally clear bores with no rough edges or tearout, reducing sanding and finishing time on visible joinery surfaces.
• Centre-point balanced tip design with a cylindrical head larger than traditional tips - ensures accurate bore location and exceptional resistance to deflection, even during prolonged high-cycle production runs.
• Plunge edge extends all the way to the centre of the bit - reduces drilling resistance and increases production speed, so operators can bore more holes per shift without sacrificing hole quality.
• Extreme sharpening rating - the solid carbide unit supports repeated resharpening cycles, delivering a lower total cost per hole over the life of the tool compared to carbide-tipped alternatives.
• 2-flute geometry with a 35mm cutting height - optimised for blind hole boring to the depth needed for standard dowel connections, with enough flute length to clear chips effectively and prevent clogging.
• 10 x 30mm shank with right-hand rotation - compatible with multi-spindle CNC boring machines, boring centers, and panel processing centers equipped with standard 10mm chucks or adapters.
• Ideal for hardwood and difficult composites including particle board, MDF, and veneered wood - gives woodworkers and production shops one versatile boring bit that handles both solid timber and engineered panel products.

Why This Product

• Engineered for clean dowel bores in challenging materials - the curved, negatively ground spurs and centre-balanced tip work together to produce flat-bottom holes with no rough edges, which is especially important when boring veneered panels or hardwood where surface tearout would be visible in the finished joint.
• Built for high-speed CNC and multi-spindle production - the solid micrograin carbide body and oversized cylindrical head are constructed to withstand the heat and impact forces generated in high-cycle CNC boring operations, maintaining bore accuracy over extended production runs.
• Resharpening extends service life well beyond disposable bits - because the bit is a solid carbide unit rather than a brazed carbide tip, it can be resharpened an almost unlimited number of times, making it a practical long-term investment for shops that run high volumes of panel boring.
• Versatile across a wide range of panel and solid wood applications - from MDF cabinet carcasses and particle board shelving to hardwood furniture and veneered doors, a single bit size handles the range of materials commonly found on a production floor, reducing tool changeover time.
