The Freud 3/16 in. (Diameter) Through Hole Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling on multiple spindle machines, including both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring systems. Built with a 10mm shank and featuring an adjustable top screw for broad machine compatibility, this right-hand rotation bit delivers accurate hole location thanks to its 60 deg. point geometry - making it a dependable choice for woodworking shops and production environments that demand consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of materials.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - deliver long-lasting cutting performance and resist wear during high-volume production runs on hardwoods, softwoods, composites, and solid surface materials
• 60 deg. point angle - ensures accurate hole location for through hole drilling, reducing misalignment and improving hole quality across all compatible materials
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - provides compatibility with most boring machines, simplifying tool changes and reducing setup time in multi-spindle operations
• Right-hand rotation - matches standard multi-spindle boring machine configurations, making this bit a drop-in solution for conventional setups
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - means fewer bit replacements, lower tooling costs, and less downtime in production environments
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit's durability so you can purchase with confidence knowing the manufacturer stands behind the product

Why This Product

• The 60 deg. point geometry is specifically designed for accurate through hole location, which is critical when drilling veneered plywood and solid surface materials where surface precision matters
• Industrial carbide tipping means this bit handles the demands of automatic multi-spindle boring machines without premature dulling, making it well-suited for high-frequency production use
• The 10mm shank with adjustable top screw design maximizes compatibility across most boring machine brands, eliminating the need for adapter hardware or custom tooling
• At a 3/16 in. diameter and 70mm overall length with a 35mm maximum hole depth, this bit fills a precise size requirement for cabinet, furniture, and millwork applications involving smaller through hole configurations
