Freud 1/2 in. Precision Forstner Bit features a new Precision Shear design with a double-ground, razor-sharp serrated edge that slices smoothly throughout the rotation of the bit, minimizing splintering and chipping to produce flat-bottom holes. This innovative geometric design includes multiple cutting edges that enhance shearing action, enabling faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Unlike competitive Forstner bits that generate small chips and dust which increase friction and heat, causing the bit to dull quickly, this bit maintains sharpness longer and creates holes with smooth edges that require no sanding. The razor-sharp serrated edge ensures fast and precise cutting, while the quality forged construction extends the bit's life. An ultra-sharp spur s an accurate starting hole, and steep angled cutting edges produce smooth, flat holes and create chisel-like curls for quick, clean chip removal. Freud backs this product with a Limited Lifetime , reflecting its commitment to quality and durability.
