Forstner Drill Bits

Original price was: $8,260.00.Current price is: $7,760.00.

A Forstner drill bit is a specialized cutting tool used in woodworking to create flat-bottomed holes with smooth sides. Unlike traditional twist or spade drill bits, Forstner bits are characterized by a cylindrical shape with a flat bottom and a rim that cuts the perimeter of the hole. These bits are well-suited for precision drilling tasks, such as creating boreholes for dowels or hinge cups, as they produce clean and accurate results, minimizing tear-out and splintering in the wood. Forstner drill bits are commonly used in cabinetry, furniture making, and other woodworking applications where precise and clean hole drilling is essential.
