The Freud 5 mm Brad Point Bit is an industrial-grade boring bit engineered for precision drilling in professional woodworking and cabinet manufacturing environments. Featuring a carbide-tipped brad point design, this bit delivers clean, accurate entry points in composites, solid surface materials, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - making it a go-to choice for cabinet shops and production facilities running automatic or manual multi-spindle boring machines. With a 10 mm shank and adjustable top screw, it integrates smoothly with most boring machines and can also be used in a drill press or hand held drill for versatile shop applications.

Key Features

• Industrial carbide tips - stay sharp longer under repeated production use, reducing downtime and tool replacement costs on the shop floor.
• 5 mm diameter with 70 mm overall length - sized precisely for cabinet hardware and joinery boring tasks, delivering accurate, repeatable hole placement across a full workday.
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw - ensures compatibility with most multi-spindle boring machines, eliminating the need for custom adapters or machine modifications.
• Right-hand rotation - matches the standard spindle direction of the vast majority of boring machines and drill presses, so setup is straightforward and intuitive.
• Maximum hole depth of 35 mm - deep enough for shelf pin holes, hinge cup bores, and other common cabinet construction applications.
• Freud Limited Lifetime Guarantee - backs the bit against defects, giving buyers long-term confidence in the tool's value and durability.
• Drills composites, solid surface, veneered plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods - one bit covers a broad range of panel and board materials, reducing the need to swap tools between jobs.
