Forstner Bit\u003c\/strong\u003e. Designed to outperform standard spade bits and hole saws, this premium tool is engineered for drilling smooth, flat-bottomed holes with exceptional cleanliness. Whether you are boring large diameter holes for joinery, creating recesses for hardware, or drilling through-holes for plumbing and electrical rough-ins, the razor-sharp center spur ensures the bit stays perfectly centered without \"walking\" or damaging the workpiece surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from forged, hardened high-speed steel, the FB-012 delivers a cutting life that far exceeds that of conventional bits. Its advanced geometry features double-ground serrated edges that slice through wood fibers rather than tearing them, resulting in splinter-free holes even in difficult grains or veneers. The steep, angled cutters efficiently lift chips out of the hole to prevent overheating, while the 3\/8-inch shank provides a secure, non-slip grip in both drill presses and handheld power drills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #333;

For a 1-5\/8\" bit, run your drill at a lower RPM to prevent the bit from overheating and scorching the wood. If drilling deep holes, lift the bit out occasionally to clear the chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"DIABLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51587013214519,"sku":"FB-012","price":13.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2274\/5945\/files\/Diablo_FB-012_1-5_8_Inch_Forstner_Bit_High_Speed_Steel_Precision_Wood_Drilling_Flat_Bottom_Holes_3_8_Shank_for_Drill_Press_Hand_Drills_1.webp?v=1778618306","url":"https:\/\/www.1toptools.com\/products\/diablo-fb-012-1-5-8-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"}
