CMT Forstner Bit Set - 4-Piece, 3/8" Shank, Right-Hand Rotation by CMT is a precision-engineered boring set designed for drilling clean, flat-bottomed holes in wood and engineered panels. This 4-piece set covers the most popular diameters - 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", and 1" - giving woodworkers and contractors the versatility to tackle hinge installations, pocket drilling, and hardware recesses across a wide range of projects. The high-performance stagger tooth design delivers sharp entry and straight sides, making this set a practical choice for drill press work, electric drills, and cordless drill applications alike.

Key Features

• Stagger tooth design on larger-diameter bits - produces sharp, clean holes with straight sides and flat bottoms, reducing tearout and cleanup time.
• 4-piece set covering 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", and 1" diameters - addresses the most commonly needed boring sizes in a single package, eliminating the need to source bits individually.
• 3/8" shank diameter - fits a broad range of drill presses, electric drills, and cordless drill chucks without requiring adapters for most standard setups.
• Right-hand rotation (RH) - compatible with conventional drilling equipment and standard chuck configurations used in woodworking shops and job sites.
• 2 spurs per bit - provide a defined cutting perimeter that keeps the hole edge crisp and reduces wandering on entry.
• Special steel (SP) material construction - engineered to maintain cutting performance through repetitive use in hardwood, softwood, plywood, and engineered panel materials.
• Clamshell packaging - keeps all 4 bits organized and protected during storage and transport, reducing the risk of tip damage between uses.
• Total length of 3-35/64" - provides sufficient reach for standard boring depths encountered in hinge, hardware, and pocket drilling applications.

Why This Product

• The 4-piece diameter range (1/4" through 1") covers the most frequently used boring sizes for cabinetry, furniture making, and general woodworking in a single set - reducing the need for multiple individual purchases.
• The stagger tooth geometry is specifically engineered for larger diameters where flat-bottom accuracy matters most, making this set well suited for hinge cup drilling and hardware pocket work where a clean, flat seat is essential.
• The 3/8" shank gives this set broad compatibility with drill presses, electric drills, and cordless tools, so the same bits can move between machines without swapping chuck configurations.
• The clamshell case keeps all four bits accounted for and protected - a practical advantage for professionals and hobbyists who store and transport tooling regularly.
