Freud® PB-012

Freud® Precision Shear™ Forstner Drill Bit, 1-5/8 in Dia, 3-1/2 in Overall Length, 3/8 in Shank, Right Hand Cutting, HSS Cutting Edge, HSS

New Precision Shear™ forstner bits feature a double ground, razor sharp serrated edge that slices throughout the rotation of the bit for less splintering and chipping, producing flawless flat-bottom holes. This unique geometric design has multiple cutting edges that produce greater shearing action, allowing for faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Competitive forstner bit designs produce small chips and dust that collect in the cutting area, increasing friction and heat, thus causing the bit to dull quickly. Those designs also create holes with rough edges that require sanding. In addition Precision Shear™ forstner bits has serrated edges.
