The Freud 35 mm Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is a precision-engineered carbide-tipped boring bit built for woodworking professionals who demand consistent, clean results in high-volume production environments. Designed for use on automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines as well as drill presses and hand held drills, this hinge boring bit delivers accurate hole sizing with two wing cutters and two spur cutters that actively prevent bottom-side tear-out - protecting the finished surface of your workpiece. Whether you are drilling into hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, composites, or solid surface materials, this 35 mm diameter cylinder bit is engineered to perform reliably across a wide range of woodworking applications.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide superior hardness and edge retention, extending cutting life well beyond standard high-speed steel bits in demanding production environments.
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out, ensuring clean, professional-quality holes in veneered plywood and finished wood surfaces.
• 35 mm diameter with 70 mm length - the standard sizing most commonly required for European-style hinge cup boring, making it directly compatible with cabinet and furniture manufacturing workflows.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, reducing setup time and making transitions between machines straightforward.
• Right-hand rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines, so the bit seats and cuts correctly without any additional setup.
• Wood case included for storage and protection - keeps the carbide tips safeguarded when not in use, extending the usable life of the bit between jobs.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit's quality and gives buyers long-term confidence in their investment.

Why This Product

• Built for multi-spindle production work - this cylinder boring bit is specifically designed for automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, making it the right tool for cabinet shops and furniture manufacturers running high-volume drilling operations.
• Prevents surface damage on finished materials - the dual spur and wing cutter geometry actively guards against tear-out on the underside of veneered plywood and solid surface panels, reducing rework and material waste.
• Versatile material compatibility - drills cleanly through composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, so one bit covers the full range of materials found in a typical woodworking or cabinet shop.
• Carbide construction for long service life - industrial carbide tips are designed for superior performance and maximum life, meaning fewer bit changes and lower cost per hole over time in production settings.
