Product Description
The Freud 32 mm Cylinder (Hinge) Boring Bit is a precision-engineered carbide-tipped boring bit built for woodworking professionals who demand clean, accurate holes in demanding production environments. Designed specifically for multi-spindle boring machines, this hinge boring bit features two wing cutters and two spur cutters that work together to prevent bottom-side tear out - delivering crisp, splinter-free results in hardwoods, softwoods, veneered plywood, solid surface, and composite materials. With a 10 mm shank and right-hand rotation, it integrates seamlessly into most automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machine setups as well as drill press applications.
Key Features
- Industrial carbide tips - provide long-lasting cutting performance through repeated use on hardwoods, softwoods, composites, and veneered plywood without significant dulling.
- Two wing cutters and two spur cutters - work together to prevent bottom-side tear out, ensuring clean hole edges on finished surfaces where appearance matters.
- 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most boring machines, making this bit a versatile fit across a wide range of production equipment.
- Right-hand (RH) rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of most drill presses and multi-spindle boring machines for drop-in compatibility.
- 32 mm diameter, 57.5 mm length - sized precisely for hinge cup boring, meeting the standard dimensions required for European-style cabinet hinge installation.
- Wood case included - protects the cutting edges during storage and transport, extending bit life and keeping the carbide tips in working condition between uses.
- Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving professionals confidence in their tooling investment over the long term.
Why This Product
- Built for production boring machines - this Freud cylinder bit is engineered for automatic and manual multi-spindle boring machines, making it a reliable choice for cabinet shops and millwork operations running high-volume hinge drilling cycles.
- Tear-out prevention on finished surfaces - the dual wing and dual spur cutter geometry specifically addresses bottom-side tear out, which is critical when boring hinge cups in veneered plywood and pre-finished cabinet components.
- Wide material compatibility - a single bit handles composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods, reducing the need to switch tooling across different workpiece materials on the shop floor.
