The Freud 3/8" (Dia.) Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multiple spindle machine environments. Featuring a 10mm shank with an adjustable top screw, this left-hand rotation bit delivers clean, accurate holes in a wide range of materials - including composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. Whether used on automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines, this Freud brad point bit is built to perform at a professional level across demanding production settings.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional hardness and heat resistance, extending bit life significantly beyond standard steel alternatives in high-cycle production environments.
• Left-hand (LH) rotation - designed specifically for left-hand spindle machines, ensuring correct chip ejection and clean entry holes without grain tear-out.
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - offers broad compatibility with most multi-spindle boring machines, reducing the need for adapters and making setup fast and reliable.
• 3/8" cutting diameter with 70mm overall length - sized for a maximum hole depth of 35mm, covering common cabinet and furniture boring applications with precision.
• Compatible with drill press and hand held drill - versatile enough to be used beyond dedicated boring machines, giving woodworkers and fabricators added flexibility on the shop floor.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, providing long-term confidence in the investment for professional shops and serious woodworkers alike.
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - carbide construction and precision engineering reduce downtime and replacement frequency in high-volume boring operations.

Why This Product

• The industrial carbide tipped construction makes this bit a dependable choice for production shops that drill repeatedly through hardwoods, softwoods, and composite panel materials - where standard HSS bits wear out quickly and drive up tooling costs.
• The 10mm shank with adjustable top screw means this bit fits most multi-spindle boring machines right out of the box, cutting down on setup time and compatibility headaches in cabinet and furniture manufacturing workflows.
• Left-hand rotation is purpose-built for LH-configured spindle machines, ensuring the bit works with the machine's torque direction rather than against it - resulting in cleaner holes and better bit longevity.
• Backed by the Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this brad point boring bit represents a low-risk investment for shops that need consistent, repeatable results across materials like solid surface, veneered plywood, and hardwoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is the Freud BP93870L brad point bit compatible with?

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

What materials can this brad point boring bit drill through?

The Freud BP93870L is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - covering a broad range of cabinet, furniture, and millwork panel materials commonly found in production shops.

What is the rotation direction of this bit, and why does it matter?

This bit uses left-hand (LH) rotation. It is specifically designed for use in left-hand spindle configurations. Using a bit with the correct rotation direction ensures proper chip ejection, cleaner hole entry, and prevents the bit from working against the machine's torque - all of which contribute to longer tool life and better hole quality.

What warranty does Freud provide for this brad point bit?

Freud backs this industrial carbide tipped brad point boring bit with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee, providing assurance of quality and durability for professional and high-production use.
