The Freud 3/16" (Dia.) Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multi-spindle machine environments. Built for professional woodworking and cabinet production, this bit features a 10mm shank with an adjustable top screw, making it compatible with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. Whether you are drilling hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, or composites, this left-hand rotation bit delivers consistent, clean entry holes with the long-term durability that demanding production work requires.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide extended cutting life and maintain sharp performance through high-volume production drilling in hardwoods, softwoods, and composites
• Left-hand (LH) rotation - designed specifically for use on left-hand spindle boring machines, ensuring proper chip ejection and clean hole formation
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - compatible with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, reducing the need for additional adapters or modifications
• 3/16" cutting diameter with 35mm maximum hole depth - ideal for through-holes and blind holes in cabinet and furniture components up to the rated depth
• 70mm overall length - provides the clearance needed for multi-spindle machine configurations without interfering with adjacent spindle operations
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving buyers confidence in the long-term value of the investment

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for multi-spindle production - the 10mm shank and adjustable top screw design makes this bit a direct fit for most automatic and manual boring machines used in cabinet and furniture manufacturing, eliminating compatibility guesswork
• Carbide tipped for production durability - industrial carbide tips hold their edge far longer than standard high-speed steel alternatives, reducing downtime from frequent bit changes in high-volume shop environments
• Versatile material compatibility - drills cleanly through composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, making this a single bit solution across a wide range of panel and wood products
• Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - a manufacturer guarantee on a production-use bit provides assurance of quality and long-term support for professional woodworking operations

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this brad point bit compatible with?

This bit features a 10mm shank with an adjustable top screw, making it compatible with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. It can also be used with a drill press or hand held drill.

Why does this bit use left-hand rotation?

The LH (left-hand) rotation designation means this bit is designed for left-hand spindle positions on multi-spindle boring machines. Using a bit with the correct rotation for your spindle direction ensures proper cutting action, clean hole walls, and effective chip clearance.

What materials can this 3/16" brad point bit drill through?

This bit is rated for use in composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - covering the full range of materials commonly used in cabinet and furniture production.

What is the maximum hole depth this bit can achieve?

The maximum hole depth for this bit is 35mm. The bit has a 70mm overall length and a 3/16" cutting diameter, suited for both through-hole and blind-hole boring applications within that depth range.
