The Freud 24 mm Diameter Cylinder (Hinge) Boring Bit is a precision-engineered boring tool built for professional woodworking environments that demand accuracy and durability. Designed by Freud for use with multiple spindle boring machines, this right-hand rotation hinge bit features industrial carbide tips that deliver superior cutting performance and extended tool life across a wide range of wood-based materials - from softwoods and hardwoods to composites, solid surface, and veneered plywood. Whether you are running an automatic multi-spindle machine in a production shop or drilling with a drill press or hand-held drill, this cylinder bit provides the precise, clean results that professional cabinetmakers and furniture manufacturers rely on.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - resist heat and wear during repeated boring operations, extending tool life well beyond standard high-speed steel alternatives for high-production environments.
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out, producing clean, accurate bores in veneered plywood and other tear-sensitive materials.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, making it easy to integrate into your existing multi-spindle setup without adapter modifications.
• Right-hand rotation (RH) - matches the standard spindle direction of drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines, allowing safe, immediate use without special tooling configuration.
• 24 mm diameter, 57.5 mm length - delivers the precise bore geometry required for standard European-style hinge cup installations in cabinet and door production.
• Wood case included - provides ready storage and physical protection for the bit between uses, keeping cutting edges sharp and undamaged in a busy shop environment.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs this bit against defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in their tooling investment.

Why This Product

• The industrial carbide tip construction is matched to the demands of automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, where consistent repeatability across high production volumes is essential - not just occasional use.
• The combination of spur cutters and wing cutters actively prevents tear-out on the bottom side of the bore, making this bit a reliable choice when working with veneered plywood or finished panels where surface quality matters.
• At 24 mm in diameter and paired with a standard 10 mm shank, this bit is sized for the European hinge cup format used widely in cabinet and furniture production, reducing setup time and tooling guesswork.
• Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this cylinder hinge bit represents a long-term tooling solution rather than a consumable - a practical value for shops investing in reliable boring equipment.
