Product Description

Durable and sharp cutting edge thanks to a steel body made of hardened steel
Precision Spur - This ensures an accurate hole and prevents the material from "walking".
Angled Cutting Edges - produce holes that are smooth and flat, and create chisel-like curls that allow chips to be removed quickly and efficiently
A quality forged construction ensures a longer life expectancy because bits are stronger instead of cast

Questions & Answers

Do these bits cut fast? I use bits that cut so slowly that they drain my 18-volt ?

I have used these bits primarily in drill presses, as their blade ends are very sharp when they are new. Keep in mind that I have only tried No battery operated device has ever been used with them.

Is there a case for the 35mm forstner?

It does not appear to come with a case - I haven't bought it yet. This is likely to be a plastic bag of very heavy duty. Here's what I hope will help you.

Is the shaft size of the 35mm Forstner Bit equal to 76mm?

Unfortunately, I do not have the 35 mm (1 3/8") bit. I do, however, have a 28 mm bit. This one is 5 mm wide (1 1/8"). I have a 9-inch shaft diameter on my bit. The shaft of a 35 mm bit should be the same diameter as a 5.25 mm bit (3/8"), therefore I do not see the need for a different shaft

What kind of hole guide or jig is included, and how many tools are included in the package. ?

A drill bit is all that is needed.

Selected User Reviews For Pack of 2 - Manufacturer Freud 35mm Precision Forester Bit Part Number Pb-M35

Personally, I find Freud forestner bits to be the best
5/5

They yield the smoothest bore and the flattest bottom. Having used Freud Forestner bits for years, I have found them to be the best, as they produce the flattest bottoms and smoothest bores Additionally, they retain their sharpness much longer than any other forestner bits I have used in the past. I have a whole set of Freud forestner standard sized bits from 1/4 inch to one inch in size. The width of the 2 inch. As far as bits go, I did not have one of the bits I most commonly use, the 35mm forester. As an alternative to Freud's 35mm forestner bits, I had a couple of other brands' bits that came with conceal hinge jigs I purchased, but they did not bore a hold. My final decision was to purchase their 35mm camera. It is still cutting like a hot knife through butter even when I have used it continuously since I received it. There are 3 different versions of Forester bits manufactured by Freud. There is FB shear, a standard and cheapest shear. There is PB precision shear, which offers the cleanest cut, and there are carbide tipped foresters, which offer the best edge retention. All of them have been used by me. As you can see, the cutter on the PB precision shear looks jagged, so you know it's that version. It wouldn't matter to me which of FB or PB I chose. In both versions, the cut is excellent. There is a slight reduction in tear out when cutting with PB, but this is nothing to complain However, their carbide forester bits would not be of interest to me. In fact, they do last longer due to the carbide tipped cutter, but they also cost more and create a very rough hole. It just doesn't seem worth the expense to me.

It is not accurate to say what size it is
4/5

Although the package claims 35 mm diameter, the shank has 1 1/2" stamped on it. There is a measurement of 1 1/2", but there should be 1 3/8", There will be a problem with the hinge fitting since this will disrupt it. According to the Freud package, the shank is machine-marked as 1 1/2" but is represented by the Freud package as 35mm.

Hinge bits and other holes are no problem with this bit
5/5

This bit leaves a very clean hole due to its fluted cutting edges. Although I don't have a Fisch bit to compare it with, having used the Freud bit I can say I am not planning to use another model or brand. It has the right hole diameter for 35mm Euro hinges, and the pilot point doesn't extend too far below the bottom.

The tip is too long for doors with 3/4" frames
3/5

With this tool, I made perfect holes 35mm deep for my new Blum hinges, but I need holes 12mm deep for them. You bore 7mm through the door, so the top is right around 3/4" tall. A door front must be done with a considerable amount of accuracy so as not to end up with a little hole. As I see it, this tip is way too long and can easily ruin 3/4" door standard unless you are very.

Does a good job on the first cut
5/5

Unsure about longevity yet, but it worked well in the first trials. It is marked 35MM and that is how mine is. The amount of moisture in the air was determined with a digital calibrator from Mitutyoyo. Based on the reviews, it seems the reviewer is accusing us of being incorrect since The item for 5" was accidentally ordered.

Quite a bit of good content here
5/5

It was cheaper to buy the knockoff version of Mao The Three-headed Dog It took me a few hours to drill a few dozen holes in maple with a crude bit, then after cursing a lot I ordered this bit. Cuts an order of magnitude better for a higher cost.

Drill bit of outstanding quality
5/5

Cut holes for concealed hinges with the help of this tool. As if a hot knife was cutting through butter, this thing did the same thing. A drill press is what I used it with. But be cautious if you buy it. You can sever the end of your hand with the sharp plastic.

Blum hinges work well with this
5/5

Blum concealed hinges were purchased for mounting with these. The bit bores a nice clean hole, and I used it on reclaimed oak flooring that was very hard. Ensure the material you are working with is thick enough, as the point of the bit will pierce thin materials. With epoxy I filled the small divot in the material completely and it would have been impossible to detect the hole.
