The Freud 5/32" (Dia.) Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling in multi-spindle machine environments. Built by Freud to deliver consistent, clean entry holes across a wide range of wood-based and composite materials, this bit features a 10mm shank with an adjustable top screw for broad machine compatibility - making it a reliable choice for cabinet shops, millwork operations, and woodworking professionals who demand repeatable accuracy in production settings. Whether you are boring into hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, or composites, this brad point bit is designed to perform run after run.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - maintain sharpness and cutting performance through high-volume production runs, extending bit life well beyond standard high-speed steel alternatives
• Left hand (LH) rotation - engineered specifically for left-hand spindle configurations on multi-spindle boring machines, ensuring proper chip ejection and clean hole walls
• 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - provides compatibility with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines without requiring adapters or custom tooling
• Brad point tip geometry - centers precisely on the workpiece to reduce wandering and deliver clean, tear-out-free entry holes in plywood, hardwood, softwood, and solid surface materials
• 70mm overall length with 35mm maximum hole depth - suited for cabinet construction and furniture boring applications where controlled depth is critical
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving buyers confidence in long-term performance and durability

Why This Product

• If you run a multi-spindle boring machine and need a left-hand rotation bit that installs quickly and fits most machines out of the box, the 10mm shank with adjustable top screw eliminates the guesswork of machine compatibility
• The carbide-tipped construction is purpose-built for production environments where bits face continuous use across composites, veneered plywood, and dense hardwoods - materials that quickly wear down lesser tooling
• The brad point design minimizes surface tearout on finished panels and veneered surfaces, reducing rework and waste in cabinet and furniture manufacturing applications
• Backed by the Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this bit represents a long-term investment in consistent boring quality rather than a short-cycle consumable replacement strategy

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of machines is this brad point bit designed for?

This bit is designed for multiple spindle machines. The 10mm shank with an adjustable top screw makes it compatible with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines. It can also be used in a drill press or hand held drill.

What materials can this bit drill through?

This Freud brad point bit is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. It is well suited for cabinet, furniture, and millwork production applications where a variety of panel and solid wood materials are used.

Why does this bit have left hand (LH) rotation?

The LH rotation designation means this bit is intended for left-hand spindle positions on multi-spindle boring machines. Using the correct rotation direction ensures proper chip clearance, clean hole walls, and optimal boring performance. Always confirm your machine's spindle rotation direction before selecting a bit.

What is the maximum hole depth this bit can bore?

The maximum hole depth for this bit is 35mm. The overall length of the bit is 70mm, with a 5/32" diameter. These dimensions make it appropriate for shelf pin holes, hinge cup pilot boring, and similar cabinetry applications where controlled depth is required.
