Make sure there are no nails or other metal objects in the wood before drilling. Do not drill metal and non-ferrous metals. The sprayed coating has a smooth, even surface that resists rust and corrosion. High-speed steel shank with excellent hardness and wear resistance.
Heat-treated tungsten carbide tips provide excellent hardness and toughness, wear resistance, heat resistance for long-lasting performance and extended tool life. The center spur helps guide it through wood and ensure accurate start holes. The head adopts 3 flutes, 4 spurs, 15 degree angel cutter and arc curve, which has low cutting resistance, smooth chip removal, uniform force and higher perforation efficiency.
The forstner bit is suitable for softwood, hardwood, solid wood, plywood, coated particle board, laminate and MDF. Easily drills flat-bottomed and pocket holes with precise, smooth finish. Widely used for furniture joints and woodworking projects, such as mortise joints, dowels, hinge cups, shelf pin, pocket screw.
Used with handheld drills, drill presses, CNC routers, and lathes. The hex shank grips the chuck or extension adapter securely and increases torque transmission, reducing slippage inside the chuck. Recommended to use on desktop (fixed) equipment.
Note: Use a cutting oil or lubricant, control the speed, apply pressure gradually, and always wear personal protective equipment. Always keep the forstner bit firmly in place when drilling. The cutting edge and tip should be sharpened in time.
