Description
Freud 1-5/8 in. Precision Forstner Bit features a double-ground, razor-sharp serrated edge that slices smoothly throughout the rotation of the bit, minimizing splintering and chipping to create flawless flat-bottom holes. Its unique geometric design includes multiple cutting edges that deliver greater shearing action, enabling faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Unlike competitive Forstner bits that produce small chips and dust that increase friction and heat, causing the bit to dull quickly, this precision bit maintains sharpness longer and produces clean holes with smooth edges that require no sanding. The bit’s ultra-sharp spur ensures an accurate starting hole, while the steep angled cutting edges create smooth, flat holes and generate chisel-like curls for quick, clean chip removal. Crafted with quality forged construction for extended life, the Freud 1-5/8 in. Precision Forstner Bit is backed by Freud’s Limited Lifetime Guarantee, making it a reliable choice for precision woodworking.
