The Freud Precision Shear 1/4" to 1" Forstner Bit Set (PB-104) is a 4-piece collection of the four smallest sizes in Freud's acclaimed Forstner Bit lineup, engineered for woodworkers who demand clean, flat-bottom holes in a wide range of wood materials. Whether you are boring pocket holes, drilling overlapping holes, or creating precise flat-bottom recesses in hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, composites, or solid surface materials, this set delivers professional results with razor-sharp cutting geometry. Made in Austria, the PB-104 set includes four individual bits spanning 1/4" through 1" in diameter, giving you the versatility to tackle fine detail work across a broad spectrum of woodworking and cabinetry applications.

Key Features

• Razor-sharp serrated edges - produce smooth, flat-bottom holes with minimal tear-out, leaving a clean surface ready for finishing or hardware installation.
• Quality forged construction - extends the working life of each bit, reducing replacement frequency and delivering consistent performance across repeated use.
• Ultra sharp spur - ensures an accurate starting point every time, preventing the bit from wandering and keeping your bore precisely on layout.
• Steep angled cutting edges - generate chisel-like curls for fast, clean chip removal, keeping the work area clear and the cut running cool and efficient.
• Diameter range of 1/4" to 1" across four sizes - gives you the right tool for fine detail bores as well as larger pocket or hardware recesses without changing bit sets.
• Compatible with drill press and hand held drill - offers flexibility to work at the bench or in the field without requiring specialized tooling.
• Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term confidence in the investment, backed by the manufacturer's commitment to product quality.

Why This Product

• Four of the most-used Forstner sizes (1/4", 1/2", 3/4", and 1") in a single set - ideal for cabinetmakers and woodworkers who regularly work with small to mid-range bore diameters and want a focused, task-matched kit rather than a large set with sizes they rarely use.
• Works across a wide range of wood-based materials including hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, composites, and solid surface - reducing the need to swap bit types when moving between different workpiece materials on the same project.
• Precision Shear geometry produces flat-bottom holes and overlapping bores cleanly - making these bits well suited for shelf-pin drilling, hinge mortises, and pocket hole applications where a flat floor and clean wall are critical.
• Forged construction combined with Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee means these bits are built to withstand repeated use in both shop and jobsite environments, offering lasting value for professional and serious hobbyist woodworkers alike.
