CMT 375.070.11 4 Flute Dowel Drill for Through Holes - 9/32" x 2-3/4" RH is a precision-engineered through-hole dowel drill from CMT, designed for fast, clean boring in panel processing applications. Built with a 7mm diameter and a 40mm cutting height on a 70mm total-length body, this right-hand rotation drill handles solid wood, chipboard, MDF, HDF, plywood, laminates, and coated panels with consistent accuracy. Its 10x20mm shank makes it compatible with multi-spindle CNC boring machines and panel processing centers, delivering professional-grade results in cabinet making, furniture manufacturing, and woodworking production environments.

Key Features

• Tungsten Carbide (HW) Cutting Material - hard-metal carbide construction maintains a sharp cutting edge through high-volume production runs in abrasive materials like chipboard, MDF, and laminates, reducing tool replacement frequency.
• Through-Hole Geometry with 60 deg. Sharpening Angle - the through-hole point geometry creates clean entry and exit holes on panel faces, minimizing tearout on both sides of the workpiece for a finished appearance without secondary sanding.
• 2-Tooth Configuration on a 4 Flute Profile - the combination of 2 cutting teeth and 4 flutes optimizes chip evacuation during through-hole drilling, reducing heat buildup and producing smooth bore walls in a single pass.
• 40mm Cutting Height - the generous cutting length accommodates panels across a practical range of thicknesses, giving the drill versatility across different panel types in the same production setup.
• 10x20mm Shank - the standardized shank dimensions ensure secure, concentric seating in multi-spindle boring heads and CNC boring centers, supporting accurate hole placement and repeatable results.
• Right-Hand (RH) Rotation - designed for conventional right-hand spindle machines, making this drill a direct-fit replacement or addition to standard CNC and multi-spindle boring equipment without any adapter modification.
• Long Series 70mm Total Length - the extended body length provides additional clearance in multi-spindle head configurations, allowing the drill to reach full cutting depth even when mounted alongside adjacent boring tools.

Why This Product

• The through-hole point geometry with 60 deg. sharpening is purpose-built for panels that require clean bore openings on both faces - ideal for dowel joinery, shelf pin holes, and hardware insertion points where surface quality on exit is critical.
• Hard-metal (HW) carbide construction holds up in abrasive engineered wood products like chipboard and MDF, where high-speed steel tools dull quickly - making this a practical choice for production shops drilling hundreds of holes per shift.
• The 7mm diameter and 10x20mm shank match common multi-spindle boring head specifications, allowing this drill to integrate directly into existing CNC boring centers and panel processing equipment without custom adapters.
• At 70mm total length, this long-series drill provides the reach needed in densely packed boring heads where shorter drills cannot achieve full cutting depth - solving clearance problems common in high-density multi-spindle setups.
