The Freud 6 mm Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling on multiple spindle machines. With a left-hand rotation, a 10 mm shank fitted with an adjustable top screw, and a compact 57.5 mm overall length, this brad point bit is compatible with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. It drills cleanly through composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - making it a dependable tool for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and woodworking professionals who demand consistent, accurate bore holes across a wide range of materials.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - deliver long-lasting cutting performance and resist wear even when boring dense hardwoods and composite materials repeatedly
• Left-hand (LH) rotation - designed specifically for left-hand spindle machines, ensuring proper chip ejection and clean entry holes without tear-out
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - provides secure, adjustable mounting that makes this bit compatible with most standard boring machines, reducing setup time and tooling changeover
• 6 mm diameter with 27 mm maximum hole depth - sized precisely for common hardware insertion points such as hinge cups, shelf pins, and dowel joints in cabinetry and furniture production
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving professionals confidence in long-term tool investment and reducing replacement costs
• Drills composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - broad material compatibility means one bit handles multiple job requirements without switching tooling

Why This Product

• Built for multi-spindle boring machines with an adjustable 10 mm shank, this bit installs quickly and fits most industrial boring machine setups - reducing downtime and keeping production lines moving
• The industrial carbide tipped cutting edge maintains sharpness through high-volume drilling runs in hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, and solid surface materials - a practical advantage over standard high-speed steel bits in demanding shop environments
• Left-hand rotation is a specific requirement for many cabinet and furniture boring operations - this bit is purpose-built for that configuration rather than being a general-purpose tool adapted to fit
• Backed by the Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this boring bit offers professionals a long-term solution with manufacturer support, making it a cost-effective choice for shops that run high production volumes

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of materials can this brad point bit drill through?

This bit is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. It performs on both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, making it well-suited for high-volume woodworking and cabinet production environments.

Is this bit compatible with my boring machine?

The bit features a 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw, which makes it compatible with most standard boring machines. It is also listed for use with drill presses and hand held drills. Always confirm your machine's shank size and rotation direction requirements before use.

What rotation direction does this bit use?

This bit uses left-hand (LH) rotation. It is specifically engineered for left-hand spindle applications. Using it in a right-hand rotating machine will not produce correct results, so confirming your spindle rotation before purchase is important.

Does this bit come with any guarantee?

Yes. Freud backs this industrial carbide tipped brad point boring bit with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee, providing professional users with long-term confidence in their tooling investment.
