The CMT 537.000.07 Forstner Bit Set by CMT is a 7-piece collection of right-hand rotation Forstner bits designed for drilling clean, flat-bottom holes in wood and engineered wood materials. With a uniform 3/8 in. shank diameter and seven of the most widely used sizes - ranging from 1/4 in. up to 1 in. - this set is well suited for hinge boring, pocket drilling, and general woodworking tasks on drill presses, electric drills, and cordless drills alike. The stagger tooth design on the larger-diameter bits delivers sharp entry points and straight sidewalls, making this set a practical choice for both shop professionals and dedicated hobbyists working with hardwood, softwood, plywood, and MDF.

Key Features

• 7-piece set covering diameters of 1/4 in., 3/8 in., 1/2 in., 5/8 in., 3/4 in., 7/8 in., and 1 in. - gives you the most popular flat-bottom boring sizes in a single purchase, reducing the need for multiple separate orders
• Uniform 3/8 in. shank diameter across all seven bits - ensures consistent chuck compatibility in a wide range of drill presses, corded drills, and cordless drills without adapter changes
• High-performance stagger tooth design on larger-diameter bits - produces sharp, clean entry holes with straight sides and flat bottoms, minimizing tear-out and cleanup time
• 2-spur cutting geometry - guides the bit accurately into the workpiece for precise hole placement and smooth side walls
• Right-hand rotation - compatible with standard drill chucks and conventional drill press setups
• 3 9/16 in. total length - provides sufficient reach for common depth requirements in hinge installation and pocket drilling applications
• Comes in a clamshell storage case - keeps all seven bits organized, protected, and easy to locate at the bench or job site

Why This Product

• Covers seven of the most common boring diameters in a single set - eliminating the guesswork of buying individual bits and ensuring you have the right size ready for hinge installation, concealed hardware pockets, and overlapping hole work
• The stagger tooth design addresses one of the most common Forstner bit frustrations - ragged hole edges and uneven bottoms - by delivering clean, flat-bottomed results even in harder wood species
• Compatible with drill presses, electric drills, and cordless drills, so the set works across the tools already in your shop without requiring dedicated machinery
• The clamshell packaging keeps the full 7-piece collection together and protected between uses, which is especially practical in shared workshop environments where loose bits are easily misplaced
