CMT Dowel Drill 9 x 35 x 70mm Right-Hand is a solid carbide boring bit engineered for clean, precise dowel hole drilling in furniture manufacturing, cabinet making, and panel processing. Built from premium super micrograin carbide, this right-hand rotation bit delivers exceptionally clear bores with flat bottoms and no rough edges - making it a reliable choice for hardwood, particle board, MDF, and veneered wood on high-speed boring units and CNC routers alike.

Key Features

• Solid super micrograin carbide construction - the entire bit is machined from premium quality carbide, providing strength and rigidity throughout the full length of the tool, not just at the tip, for greater safety and long-term reliability.
• Curved, negatively ground spurs (2 spurs) - the unique tip geometry severs wood fibers cleanly before material is removed, producing bore walls and flat bottoms free of tearout or rough edges, even in veneered and coated panels.
• Centre point balanced tip design - ensures accurate entry on contact and eliminates wandering, critical for precise dowel joint alignment in panel drilling and furniture assembly work.
• Plunge edge extending to centre - reduces drilling resistance and increases production speed, allowing faster cycling on multi-spindle CNC boring machines and panel processing centers without sacrificing hole quality.
• Extreme sharpenability rating - the all-carbide solid construction supports an almost infinite number of resharpenings, lowering long-term tooling cost compared to carbide-tipped alternatives.
• Cylindrical head larger than traditional tips - provides increased resistance to wear during prolonged use, maintaining bore diameter accuracy over extended production runs.
• 10 x 30mm shank - sized for secure, stable seating in standard boring machine chucks and CNC tool holders, minimizing runout during high-speed operation.
• 2-flute design with 35mm cutting height - balances chip evacuation efficiency with bore depth capability, suitable for blind hole drilling in standard panel thicknesses.

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for dowel boring applications in hardwood and difficult composites such as particle board, MDF, and veneered wood - materials that demand clean entry and exit without surface damage.
• The solid carbide body supports repeated resharpenings, making this bit a long-term investment for production shops that want to reduce per-hole tooling cost over time.
• The negatively ground curved spurs and centre-balanced point produce exceptionally clear bores with no rough edges, which is essential for tight-fitting dowel joints that require consistent hole quality from piece to piece.
• Proven performance on high-speed boring units and CNC routers means this bit integrates directly into automated furniture and cabinet production lines without requiring speed compromises.
