The Freud 8.2 mm Brad Point Bit is a professional-grade carbide-tipped boring bit engineered for precision drilling on automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. Built by Freud for industrial woodworking environments, this left-hand rotation bit cuts cleanly through composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - making it a reliable choice for cabinet shops, furniture manufacturers, and production facilities that demand consistent hole quality and long tool life. The 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw ensures broad compatibility with most boring machines, reducing downtime and simplifying setup across multiple spindle configurations.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional hardness and wear resistance, extending tool life in high-volume multi-spindle production environments
• 8.2 mm diameter with a 27 mm maximum hole depth - delivers precise, repeatable boring results in a wide range of panel and solid wood thicknesses
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, allowing fast, secure tool changes without specialized adapters
• Left-hand (LH) rotation - specifically designed to work correctly on left-hand spindle positions in multi-spindle boring machine setups
• Overall length of 57.5 mm - provides the proper reach and balance for stable operation in both automatic and manual multi-spindle configurations
• Designed for superior performance and maximum life - backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, giving buyers confidence in the long-term value of their investment
• Compatible with drill press and hand-held drill - versatile enough for production machine use as well as workshop drilling tasks

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for multi-spindle boring machines - the 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw means this bit fits most boring machines out of the box, eliminating compatibility guesswork in busy production shops
• Carbide-tipped construction means the cutting edge stays sharp longer than standard high-speed steel bits, reducing replacement frequency and cost in demanding production applications on hardwoods and composite panels
• Left-hand rotation fills a specific tooling need that right-hand bits cannot address - shops running dual-spindle or multi-spindle equipment with LH positions need the correct rotation to achieve clean, accurate bores without tear-out
• Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - this bit represents a long-term tooling investment, not a disposable option, making it a cost-effective choice for professional cabinet and furniture production

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of boring machines is this bit compatible with?

This bit is designed for multiple spindle machines, including both automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines. The 10 mm shank with an adjustable top screw makes it compatible with most boring machines. It is also usable with a drill press or hand-held drill.

Why does this bit have left-hand (LH) rotation, and how do I know if I need it?

Left-hand rotation is required for left-hand spindle positions found on many multi-spindle boring machines. If your machine has spindles that rotate counterclockwise, you need an LH bit like this one to achieve proper cutting action and a clean bore. Using a right-hand bit on a left-hand spindle will not cut correctly.

What materials can this brad point bit drill through?

This bit is designed to drill composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. Its industrial carbide tips provide the durability needed to handle these varied materials in high-production environments.

Does this bit come with any warranty coverage?

Yes. This bit is covered by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, reflecting the brand's confidence in the performance and durability of its industrial carbide-tipped tooling.
