Freud 3/8 in. Brad Point Bit (BP93857R) is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for use on multiple spindle machines, giving woodworking professionals the precision and durability needed for high-volume drilling operations. With a 10mm shank fitted with an adjustable top screw, this bit integrates seamlessly with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines, eliminating compatibility guesswork and keeping production lines moving. Whether you are boring into hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, or composites, this Freud brad point bit delivers clean, accurate holes with the longevity expected from an industrial tooling solution.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional wear resistance and edge retention, meaning fewer bit changes and lower tooling costs over the life of the bit.
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, reducing setup time and making this bit a versatile addition to any multi-spindle operation.
• 3/8 in. diameter with 27mm maximum hole depth - delivers consistent, precisely sized bores suited for joinery, hardware installation, and panel fabrication work.
• Right-hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines, allowing drop-in use without machine reconfiguration.
• 57.5mm overall length - provides adequate reach for deep-set applications while maintaining rigidity to minimize deflection and keep holes on target.
• Compatible with drill press and hand held drill - offers flexibility to move between stationary and portable drilling setups as the job requires.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against manufacturing defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in their tooling investment.
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - means the bit holds up under the repeated cycling demands of automated boring operations, reducing downtime.

Why This Product

• The carbide tipped brad point design produces clean entry holes with minimal tearout on veneered plywood, solid surface, and hardwoods - making it the right choice for finish-quality cabinetry and furniture production where surface appearance matters.
• The 10mm shank with adjustable top screw is engineered specifically for multi-spindle boring machines, so shops running automatic or manual panel processing equipment can install this bit without adapters or workarounds.
• Freud's industrial-grade construction means this bit is built to withstand the repetitive, high-cycle demands of production environments - unlike consumer-grade brad point bits that dull quickly under continuous use on composites and hardwoods.
• Broad material compatibility across composites, solid surface materials, plywoods, hardwoods, and softwoods means a single bit handles the full range of sheet goods and lumber typically found in a professional woodworking or millwork shop.
