The CMT Two Flute Dowel Drill - 6 x 44 x 77mm Right-Hand is a precision-engineered boring tool built for clean, flat-bottom blind hole drilling in panel processing, furniture manufacturing, and cabinet making. Featuring a tungsten carbide (HW) cutting head bonded to a super-strength steel body, this right-hand rotation drill delivers accurate, repeatable dowel holes in chipboard, MDF, solid wood, laminates, and coated panels. The 10 x 30mm parallel shank with driving flat and length adjusting screw ensures secure, consistent registration in multi-spindle boring machines and CNC boring centers alike.

Key Features

• HW (Tungsten Carbide) Cutting Head with Precision Balanced Centre Point - the carbide tip stays sharp through extended production runs, maintaining accurate hole positioning in panel processing without wandering or misalignment.
• 2 Precision Ground HW Cutting Edges (Z2) - dual carbide flutes remove material efficiently on both sides of the bore, producing smooth, flat-bottomed holes that seat dowels cleanly without secondary cleanup.
• 2 Negatively Ground Spurs (V2) - the negatively sharpened spurs score the panel surface ahead of the cut, preventing chip-out and tearout on veneered, laminated, and coated panel faces.
• PTFE Coating on the Cutter Portion - the orange or black PTFE non-stick coating reduces pitch and adhesive buildup on the cutting surfaces, extending tool life and maintaining cut quality over time.
• Super-Strength Steel Body - the robust steel shank resists deflection and vibration during high-cycle production drilling, contributing to consistent hole diameter and depth.
• 10 x 30mm Parallel Shank with Driving Flat and Length Adjusting Screw - the standardized shank geometry fits directly into multi-spindle boring heads and CNC boring centers, and the adjusting screw allows precise depth setting without additional tooling.
• 77mm Total Length (Long Series) - the extended overall length with a 44mm cutting height makes this drill suitable for deep blind holes in thick panels, where shorter-series drills cannot reach full depth.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - matched to standard right-hand spindle direction on the majority of horizontal and vertical boring machines used in furniture and cabinet production.

Why This Product

• The 44mm cutting height in a 77mm long-series body gives this drill the reach needed for deep blind holes in thick panel stock - making it the appropriate choice when standard-length dowel drills fall short of required depth.
• Negatively ground carbide spurs combined with a precision balanced centre point work together to eliminate tearout on delicate laminated and coated surfaces, reducing rejected panels in high-volume furniture and cabinet production.
• The PTFE coating actively prevents pitch and glue buildup during drilling into chipboard, MDF, and adhesive-backed laminates - reducing cleaning downtime and maintaining consistent cut quality across long production cycles.
• The parallel shank with driving flat and integrated length adjusting screw simplifies setup and depth repeatability in multi-spindle CNC boring machines and panel processing centers, cutting changeover time between jobs.
