Forstner Bit\u003c\/strong\u003e. Designed for professional carpenters and serious woodworkers, this high-performance bit creates perfectly smooth, flat-bottom holes that standard spade bits and hole saws cannot achieve. At the heart of its design is an ultra-sharp center spur that accurately locates the center of your hole, ensuring the bit starts exactly where you intend without \"walking\" or skating across the material surface. This makes it the ideal choice for intricate joinery, hardware installation, and doweling where accuracy is paramount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to last, the FB-008 is manufactured from premium forged, hardened high-speed steel, providing a cutting edge that withstands heat and wear significantly longer than conventional bits. It features a unique double-ground serrated edge that slices through wood fibers cleanly, minimizing splintering and chipping even in delicate veneers or hardwoods. Whether you are drilling straight, angled, or challenging overlapping holes, the 3\/8-inch shank ensures a secure fit in drill presses and hand drills, delivering consistent, high-quality results every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #333;

When drilling through a door, drill from one side until the center spur just pokes through the other side, then stop. Finish the hole by drilling from the opposite side using that small pilot hole; this technique prevents \"blowout\" and ensures a clean edge on both sides of the door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DIABLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51587002859831,"sku":"FB-008","price":10.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2274\/5945\/files\/Diablo_FB-008_1-1_8_Inch_Forstner_Bit_High_Speed_Steel_Precision_Wood_Drilling_Flat_Bottom_Holes_3_8_Shank_for_Drill_Press_Hand_Drills_1.webp?v=1778618260","url":"https:\/\/www.1toptools.com\/products\/diablo-fb-008-1-1-8-inch-forstner-bit-high-speed-steel-precision-wood-drilling-flat-bottom-holes-3-8-shank-for-drill-press-hand-drills","provider":"1 Top Tools","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
