The Freud 5 mm Diameter Through Hole Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precise, clean through-hole drilling in woodworking and fabrication environments. Designed specifically for multiple spindle machines - including both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines - this bit delivers consistent, accurate hole placement thanks to its 60 deg. point geometry. Whether you are working with hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, or composite panels, this Freud boring bit is built to handle a wide range of materials with reliable, repeatable results.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide extended cutting life and durability compared to standard steel bits, meaning fewer replacements and more consistent performance across demanding production runs.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures broad compatibility with most boring machines, reducing the need for additional adapters or tooling changes on the shop floor.
• 60 deg. point angle - enables accurate hole location for through holes, helping reduce tearout and improving precision when drilling into finished or sensitive wood surfaces.
• Right hand (RH) rotation - matched to standard drill press and hand held drill operation, so the bit integrates seamlessly into existing setups without modification.
• 57.5 mm overall length with 27 mm maximum hole depth - sized appropriately for through-hole applications in typical panel and solid wood thicknesses.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in the tool's quality and value.
