The Freud 22 mm Diameter Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is a precision-engineered boring bit built for professional woodworkers and cabinet shops that demand clean, accurate results on every bore. Featuring industrial carbide tips and a right-hand rotation design, this hinge boring bit delivers superior cutting performance and extended tool life when drilling composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. With a 10 mm shank and 57.5 mm overall length, it is engineered for compatibility with automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, making it a reliable choice for high-volume cabinet and furniture production.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - provide long-lasting cutting edges that hold up through repeated use on dense hardwoods and composite materials, reducing downtime for bit replacement.
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out, delivering clean, splinter-free bores on veneered plywood and finished surfaces where presentation matters.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines straight out of the box, minimizing setup hassle across a wide range of multi-spindle equipment.
• Right-hand rotation (RH) - matches standard drill press and hand-held drill configurations, so the bit integrates seamlessly into existing tooling setups without adaptation.
• Wood case included for storage and protection - keeps the carbide cutting edges shielded when not in use, preserving sharpness and extending usable life between jobs.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving professional users confidence in a long-term investment for their boring operations.
• 22 mm cutting diameter - sized precisely for standard European hinge cup boring, the most common requirement in cabinet and furniture manufacturing.

Why This Product

• Designed specifically for multi-spindle boring machines - automatic and manual - this bit is the right fit for cabinet shops running production lines where consistent, repeatable hinge pocket accuracy is essential on every panel.
• The combination of industrial carbide tips and a geometry that prevents tear-out means it performs cleanly on finished veneered plywood and solid surface materials where a ragged edge is unacceptable and costly to fix.
• At 22 mm diameter with a 10 mm shank and adjustable top screw, this bit is sized and configured to drop directly into most European-style boring machines without requiring adapters or special tooling modifications.
• Backed by the Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee, this boring bit represents a durable, long-term tooling solution rather than a consumable replacement item - reducing the total cost of boring operations over time.
