The Freud 8 mm Diameter Through Hole Bit is a precision-engineered industrial carbide tipped boring bit built for demanding woodworking and fabrication environments. Featuring an 8 mm cutting diameter, a 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw, and a 60 deg. point angle for accurate hole location, this bit is engineered to deliver clean, repeatable through holes in a wide range of materials including hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface, and composites. Designed for use on multiple spindle machines as well as drill presses and hand held drills, it brings professional-grade performance to both automatic and manual boring operations.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - deliver superior cutting edge retention for longer tool life and consistent performance across high-volume boring operations.
• 60 deg. point angle - ensures accurate hole location when drilling through holes, reducing drift and improving precision on every pass.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - provides compatibility with most boring machines, making this bit a versatile fit for multi-spindle setups without additional adapters.
• Right hand rotation - matches standard spindle direction on the majority of boring machines and drill presses, allowing immediate drop-in use.
• 57.5 mm overall length with 27 mm maximum hole depth - sized appropriately for through hole applications in panel and cabinet production workflows.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides lasting assurance of bit quality, reducing long-term replacement costs.

Why This Product

• The industrial carbide tip construction is purpose-built for multiple spindle machines, making this bit a reliable choice for cabinet shops and woodworking facilities that run automatic or manual multi-spindle boring operations at production volume.
• The 60 deg. point angle solves a common challenge in through hole drilling - accurate hole location - so operators get consistent, on-target results without the need for pilot holes or repositioning.
• With compatibility across composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, this single bit handles a broad range of panel materials, reducing the need to swap tooling between jobs.
• The adjustable top screw on the 10 mm shank means this bit fits most boring machines already in use, making it a practical upgrade or replacement without requiring new toolholders.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is this through hole bit compatible with?

This bit is designed for multiple spindle machines, including both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. It is also compatible with drill presses and hand held drills. The 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw makes it compatible with most boring machines without requiring special toolholders.

What is the maximum hole depth this bit can drill?

The Freud TH80057R has a maximum hole depth of 27 mm. It has an overall length of 57.5 mm and an 8 mm cutting diameter, making it well suited for through hole applications in panel and cabinet manufacturing.

What materials can this boring bit be used on?

This bit is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. The industrial carbide tip construction supports consistent performance across this range of materials in production boring environments.

What does the 60 deg. point angle mean for drilling accuracy?

The 60 deg. point angle is specifically designed for accurate hole location when drilling through holes. This geometry helps the bit start on target and stay true throughout the cut, which is especially important when running multiple spindle boring operations where consistency across many holes is critical.
