The Freud 35 mm Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is a precision-engineered boring bit built for professional woodworkers and cabinet makers who demand clean, accurate holes in a wide range of materials. Featuring industrial carbide tips and a classic cylinder (hinge) boring geometry, this bit delivers superior performance whether you are drilling composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, or softwoods. Its two wing cutters and two spur cutters work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out, making it an ideal choice for furniture production, cabinetry, and hinge installation where a clean bore is non-negotiable. Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this carbide-tipped hinge boring bit is engineered to provide maximum tool life on both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - resist wear and maintain cutting sharpness over extended production runs, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - prevent bottom-side tear-out on veneered plywood and other sensitive materials, delivering professional-quality bores every time.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines right out of the box, saving setup time on the shop floor.
• Right hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines for seamless integration.
• 35 mm diameter x 57.5 mm length - meets the industry-standard hinge cup bore size used in European-style cabinet construction and hinge hardware installation.
• Wood case included for storage and protection - keeps the carbide cutting edges safe between uses, extending the working life of the bit.
• Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term confidence in the tool's quality and durability for professional applications.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for hinge boring - the 35 mm cylinder geometry matches the standard European hinge cup specification, making this bit the right choice for cabinet and furniture manufacturers working with concealed hinges.
• Versatile material compatibility - drills cleanly through composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, so one bit handles the full range of panel and cabinet materials in a typical shop.
• Compatible with multiple spindle machines - designed specifically for use on automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, making it a practical fit for high-volume production environments.
• Carbide-tipped construction for long tool life - industrial carbide tips hold an edge far longer than high-speed steel alternatives, reducing the frequency of bit changes and keeping production moving.
