Freud 3 mm Brad Point Bit (BP30057R) is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multiple spindle machines, delivering clean, accurate holes in a wide range of wood-based and composite materials. With a 10 mm shank equipped with an adjustable top screw, this bit integrates seamlessly with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines, as well as drill presses and hand held drills - making it a reliable choice for cabinetmaking, woodworking production, and solid surface fabrication where consistent hole quality and long tool life are essential.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life through demanding production runs on hardwoods, softwoods, composites, and solid surface materials
• 3 mm diameter with 57.5 mm total length - sized for precise, small-diameter boring tasks where accuracy and clean entry are critical
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures broad compatibility with most boring machines, allowing secure, repeatable positioning without requiring custom tooling
• Maximum hole depth of 27 mm - suited for through-holes and blind holes in panel processing and cabinetry applications
• Right hand rotation - matches standard spindle configurations on the majority of multi-spindle boring machines and drill presses, reducing setup time
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - carbide construction withstands repeated use in high-cycle production environments, reducing downtime and replacement costs
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term assurance of quality and craftsmanship, protecting your investment in professional tooling

Why This Product

• The carbide tipped design handles a broad spectrum of materials - including veneered plywood, composites, solid surface, hardwoods, and softwoods - making this a single versatile bit for mixed-material production environments rather than requiring multiple specialized tools
• The 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw makes this bit compatible with most boring machines, eliminating the need for adapters or custom fitment and reducing machine changeover time
• At a 3 mm diameter, this bit delivers the fine boring capability needed for small hardware holes, dowel placement, and precision joinery work where oversized holes would compromise fit and finish
• Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee backs this bit against defects, giving woodworking professionals and production shops confidence that their tooling investment is protected over the long term
