Product Description
The Freud 20 mm Diameter Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is a precision-engineered boring bit built for professional woodworking applications that demand clean, accurate holes with no bottom-side tear-out. Featuring industrial carbide tips and a 70mm length with a 10mm shank, this right-hand rotation bit is engineered for use on automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines as well as drill presses and hand-held drills. Whether you are working with hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface materials, or composites, Freud delivers consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of substrates.
Key Features
- Industrial carbide tips - provide superior cutting performance and extended tool life compared to standard high-speed steel bits, reducing replacement frequency on demanding production runs
- Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out, delivering clean entry and exit holes in finished panels and veneered surfaces
- 10mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, making this bit a versatile drop-in addition to existing multi-spindle setups
- Right-hand rotation (RH) - matches the standard spindle direction of most drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines, so no additional setup or adapter is required
- 70mm overall length - provides sufficient depth clearance for hinge and cylinder boring tasks common in cabinet and furniture manufacturing
- Wood storage case included - protects the carbide tips during storage and transport, preserving sharpness and extending usable life between jobs
- Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs this bit against defects, giving buyers confidence in the long-term value of their investment
- Made in Italy - reflects Freud's European precision manufacturing standards for cutting tool performance
Why This Product
- Purpose-built for hinge and cylinder boring on multi-spindle machines, this bit addresses the precise tolerances required in cabinet door hinge installations and furniture production workflows where accuracy cannot be compromised.
- The industrial carbide tipped construction means this bit holds its edge through extended runs in hardwoods, softwoods, composites, and solid surface materials - reducing downtime and tooling costs in high-volume shop environments.
- The combination of spur and wing cutters actively prevents tear-out on veneered plywood and finished panels, protecting the visible face of the workpiece and reducing the need for rework or waste.
- Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee means this is a long-term tooling investment - not a consumable - making it a cost-effective choice for shops that need reliable boring performance day after day.
