The Freud 1/4 in. (Dia.) Through Hole Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precise, clean through holes in a wide range of wood and composite materials. Built for use on multiple spindle boring machines as well as drill presses and hand held drills, this bit delivers consistent hole location accuracy thanks to its 60 deg. point geometry - reducing wander and ensuring repeatable results across production runs. Supplied with a 10mm shank and an adjustable top screw, it fits most boring machines right out of the box, making it a dependable choice for cabinet shops, millwork facilities, and woodworking operations that demand reliable performance bit after bit.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - resist wear and heat buildup during repeated drilling cycles, extending cutting life in demanding production environments
• 60 deg. point angle - promotes accurate hole location for through holes, minimizing bit drift and reducing setup time between operations
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, so you spend less time sourcing adapters and more time working
• Right hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most multi-spindle boring machines and drill presses, eliminating the need to reconfigure tooling
• 1/4 in. diameter with a 57.5mm overall length and 27mm maximum hole depth - sized for precision joinery, shelf pin holes, and through-hole applications in furniture and cabinetry production
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against manufacturing defects, providing long-term value and confidence in the investment
• Compatible with composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - one bit handles a broad spectrum of materials, reducing the number of tools needed in the shop

Why This Product

• The 60 deg. point angle is specifically designed for through hole applications, giving machinists and woodworkers precise entry points that translate directly into tighter tolerances and cleaner finished parts
• Industrial carbide tipping means this bit is built to outlast standard steel alternatives in high-cycle, multi-spindle production settings - reducing downtime from frequent bit changes
• The adjustable top screw on the 10mm shank makes this bit broadly compatible with automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, eliminating the guesswork of fitment across different machine brands
• Coverage across hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface, and composites means this single boring bit can move between material types without swapping tooling - a practical advantage in mixed-production shops
