The Freud 6.5 mm Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling on multiple spindle machines. With a 10 mm shank fitted with an adjustable top screw, this bit integrates seamlessly with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines, delivering clean, accurate holes in composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. Built to Freud's exacting industrial standards and backed by a Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this brad point boring bit is a reliable choice for cabinet shops, millwork operations, and production woodworking environments that demand consistent performance and maximum tool life.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide long-lasting cutting performance and resist wear during high-volume drilling, reducing the need for frequent bit replacement.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, making setup fast and secure without requiring special tooling.
• Left-hand (LH) rotation - specifically engineered for left-hand spindle machines, so the bit functions correctly and safely in the intended applications.
• 6.5 mm diameter with 70 mm overall length - sized precisely for common cabinetry and millwork boring tasks, fitting standard layout requirements without modification.
• Maximum hole depth of 35 mm - gives sufficient drilling capacity for typical panel and hardwood joinery applications without bottoming out prematurely.
• Compatible with drill press and hand-held drill - adds versatility for shops that need the same bit across both bench-mounted and portable drilling setups.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term confidence in the investment, backed by an established manufacturer with a reputation for precision tooling.
• Made for automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines - supports high-throughput production environments where speed, accuracy, and repeatability are essential.

Why This Product

• The carbide tipped construction means this bit maintains a sharp, clean cutting edge across a wide range of materials - from soft pine to dense hardwoods and engineered composites - making it a single solution for mixed-material production runs.
• The adjustable top screw on the 10 mm shank allows quick, secure mounting on most multi-spindle boring machines, reducing changeover time and downtime on the production floor.
• Left-hand rotation is a critical specification for shops running LH spindle boring heads - using the correct rotation direction prevents workpiece damage and ensures clean entry holes in veneered plywood and solid surface panels.
• At 70 mm in length with a 35 mm maximum hole depth, this bit is sized for practical cabinetry and woodworking joinery tasks, giving operators the reach they need without sacrificing rigidity or stability during drilling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this brad point bit compatible with?

This bit features a 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw, making it compatible with most automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines. It can also be used with a drill press or a hand-held drill.

Why does this bit have left-hand (LH) rotation, and does it matter which one I buy?

Yes, rotation direction is critical. The BP65070L is specifically designed for left-hand spindle boring heads. Using a bit with the wrong rotation for your machine will result in poor cutting performance and potential workpiece damage. Always match the rotation to your machine's spindle direction before purchasing.

What materials can this Freud brad point boring bit drill through?

This bit is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. The industrial carbide tips allow it to perform across this wide range of materials in production woodworking and cabinetry environments.

What is the maximum hole depth this bit can achieve?

The Freud BP65070L has a maximum hole depth of 35 mm. The overall length of the bit is 70 mm, and the shank diameter is 10 mm.
