The Freud 8 mm Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling on automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines. With a 10 mm shank fitted with an adjustable top screw, this bit delivers compatibility with most boring machines right out of the box, making it a reliable choice for woodworking shops and cabinet manufacturers who need consistent, accurate holes in composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this 8 mm brad point boring bit is built to handle demanding production environments without sacrificing hole quality or bit longevity.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide superior hardness and heat resistance, extending bit life through repeated production drilling cycles and reducing costly downtime from frequent replacements.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures broad compatibility with most boring machines, so you can drop this bit into your existing setup without special adapters or modifications.
• 8 mm diameter with 70 mm overall length and 35 mm maximum hole depth - delivers precise, consistent hole sizing for joinery, shelf pin drilling, and cabinet construction applications.
• Right hand rotation (RH) - matches the standard rotation direction of drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines, ensuring clean entry and smooth chip ejection for splinter-free results.
• Compatible with drill press and hand held drill - offers versatility across shop setups, from large multi-spindle production machines to portable drilling tasks.
• Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term confidence in your investment, protecting against defects and supporting your production reliability over time.

Why This Product

• The industrial carbide tipped construction is purpose-built for multi-spindle boring machines, meaning production shops drilling hundreds of holes per day get consistent accuracy and maximum bit life rather than frequent bit changes slowing down workflow.
• The adjustable top screw on the 10 mm shank makes this brad point bit compatible with most boring machines already on the shop floor, eliminating the need to source specialty tooling or retool existing equipment.
• Rated for composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, this bit handles the full range of materials common in cabinet and furniture production without requiring different bits for different stock.
• At just 1 piece per pack, this bit can be purchased individually to replace a worn bit in an existing set or to fill a specific diameter gap - so you get exactly what you need without over-buying.
