The Freud 32 mm Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is a precision-engineered boring bit built for professional woodworking operations that demand consistent, clean results. Designed with industrial carbide tips and left-hand rotation, this hinge boring bit excels on automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, delivering accurate hole placement across a wide range of materials. Whether you are boring hinge pockets in cabinet doors, working with veneered plywood, or drilling into hardwoods and composites, this 32 mm bit provides the reliability and edge retention that production shops require. Backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee, it is engineered for superior performance and maximum service life in demanding repetitive-use environments.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - maintain a sharp cutting edge through extended production runs, reducing downtime and tool replacement costs when boring hardwoods, softwoods, composites, and solid surface materials.
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out, ensuring clean, professional-quality holes even on veneered plywood and delicate face materials.
• Left-hand rotation (LH) - engineered specifically for multi-spindle boring machines that require counter-clockwise cutting, ensuring proper chip evacuation and bore quality on the correct spindle positions.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - provides compatibility with most boring machines, making this bit a versatile drop-in upgrade for existing setups without additional adapters.
• 32 mm diameter, 57.5 mm length - matches the standard European cabinet hinge cup size, delivering precise fit for 35 mm hinge boring systems used in frameless and face-frame cabinetry.
• Wood case included - protects the carbide cutting edges during storage and transport, prolonging bit life between uses and keeping the tool ready for immediate deployment.
• Made in Italy - crafted to Freud's exacting manufacturing standards, reflecting the precision quality the brand is known for in professional woodworking tooling.
• Freud's Limited Lifetime Guarantee - provides long-term confidence in the tool's performance and durability, reducing total cost of ownership over time.

Why This Product

• Shops running multi-spindle boring machines need left-hand rotation bits to match specific spindle configurations - this bit is built precisely for that LH requirement, eliminating compatibility guesswork and ensuring clean cuts on the correct machine position.
• The industrial carbide tipping makes this cylinder bit well-suited for high-volume production work across a broad range of materials - from softwoods and hardwoods to composites and veneered plywood - without frequent sharpening or replacement.
• The standard 32 mm diameter directly aligns with European-style hinge cup boring specifications, making this bit the right choice for cabinet and furniture manufacturers working to 32 mm system standards.
• The included wood storage case protects the precision carbide tips when the bit is not in use, a practical advantage for shops that rotate tooling between jobs and need bits ready to perform at full capacity each time.
