The Freud 17 mm Diameter Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is an industrial-grade carbide tipped boring bit engineered for precise hinge boring and accurate hole placement in a wide range of wood-based materials. Featuring a 10 mm shank and right hand rotation, this cylinder bit is built to perform reliably on multiple spindle boring machines as well as drill presses and hand held drills. With two wing cutters and two spur cutters working in concert, it delivers clean, tear-out-free bores through hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, and composites - making it a go-to choice for cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers, and woodworking professionals who demand consistent results on every pass.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide exceptional cutting durability and edge retention, extending tool life significantly compared to standard high-speed steel bits when boring dense hardwoods and composite materials.
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to score and clear material cleanly, preventing bottom side tear-out and producing smooth, professional-quality bore holes.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, reducing setup time and expanding machine versatility.
• Right hand rotation - matches standard boring machine and drill press spindle direction, enabling straightforward installation and immediate use without adapter modification.
• 70 mm overall length - provides sufficient depth capacity for through and stopped hinge bores in typical cabinet door and frame applications.
• Wood storage case included - keeps the bit protected from impact and contamination between uses, extending service life and maintaining cutting edge integrity.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against manufacturing defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in their tooling investment.

Why This Product

• Carbide tipped construction means this hinge boring bit stays sharper longer through repeated use in demanding production environments, reducing downtime for bit changes and keeping output consistent across large runs of hardwood or veneered plywood panels.
• The dual spur and dual wing cutter geometry addresses one of the most common frustrations in boring work - bottom side tear-out - by scoring the material perimeter before the main cutters clear the core, which is especially valuable when working with veneered plywood and delicate face veneers.
• A single pack quantity with a 17 mm diameter and 70 mm length covers the standard European-style hinge cup bore specification, making this bit directly applicable to frameless cabinet construction and flat-pack furniture manufacturing without requiring additional sizing tools.
• Compatibility with drill presses and hand held drills alongside multi-spindle boring machines means this cylinder bit serves both high-volume shop production and smaller-scale or on-site applications, giving buyers flexibility in how and where they use it.
