The Freud 8 mm Through Hole Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for accurate, clean through-hole drilling in wood and composite materials. Designed specifically for use on multiple spindle boring machines - as well as drill presses and hand held drills - this bit combines a precision 60 deg. point angle for reliable hole location with a 10 mm shank and adjustable top screw for broad machine compatibility. Whether you are running an automatic multi-spindle boring machine on a production floor or working manually with hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface, or composites, this Freud boring bit delivers the consistent performance and extended service life that professional woodworkers and cabinet makers depend on.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide superior wear resistance for long-lasting performance across demanding production environments and repeated use in hardwoods, softwoods, and composites
• 60 deg. point angle - ensures accurate hole location, reducing drift and producing clean, precise through holes every time
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - makes this bit compatible with most boring machines, reducing the need for adapter hardware and simplifying setup
• Right hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard direction of most drill presses, hand held drills, and multi-spindle boring machines for straightforward installation and use
• 8 mm diameter, 70 mm length, 35 mm maximum hole depth - delivers a specific, well-defined cutting envelope suited to cabinet joinery and through-hole applications
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs this bit with a manufacturer warranty, providing buyers confidence in long-term reliability and quality
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - meaning fewer bit changes, reduced downtime, and lower tooling costs over time

Why This Product

• The industrial carbide tip construction is specifically suited for production environments where through holes must be drilled repeatedly in hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, and composites without sacrificing accuracy or bit life.
• The 60 deg. point angle is purpose-built for through-hole work, giving operators confident hole location on both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines - eliminating the guesswork that comes with general-purpose drill bits.
• The 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw broadens machine compatibility, so this bit fits into most boring machine setups without requiring specialty adapters or custom tooling.
• Backed by the Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this bit represents a long-term tooling investment - pairing industrial carbide durability with manufacturer assurance against defects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What machines is the Freud TH80070R boring bit compatible with?

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

What is the significance of the 60 deg. point angle on this through hole bit?

The 60 deg. point angle is specifically designed to provide accurate hole location for through holes. This geometry reduces bit wander at the start of the cut and helps produce clean, precise holes in materials such as hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface, and composites.

What materials can the Freud 8 mm Through Hole Bit cut through?

This bit is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. The industrial carbide tips make it suitable for repeated use across these material types on production-level multi-spindle boring machines as well as drill presses and hand held drills.

What warranty does Freud offer on the TH80070R boring bit?

Freud backs this boring bit with a Limited Lifetime Guarantee, providing assurance of long-term quality and performance for industrial and professional woodworking applications.
