Forstner bit 1-1/16", shank 5/16" - by Dimar

Achieve clean, precise holes in your turning and woodworking projects with this Forstner bit. Designed for accuracy and control, Forstner bits are a go-to choice for woodturners when a smooth, flat-bottom hole or a clean through hole is required. Ideal for a wide range of woodturning projects, including bowls, lidded boxes, and other turned work that requires accurate boring.

What are Forstner bits used for?

Forstner bits are designed to drill flat-bottom and through holes cleanly in end grain, thin stock, veneers, and regular stock. They are especially useful in turning projects where precision and a clean cut matter.

Why choose a Forstner bit over a standard drill bit?

Forstner bits cut with exceptional accuracy and leave a smooth, clean hole. They stay centered while drilling, even when passing through changing grain or knots, reducing wandering and tear-out.

Can this bit enlarge an existing hole?

Yes. Forstner bits can enlarge existing holes with ease and are capable of boring partial holes or arcs of a circle, making them very versatile in the workshop.

What is the shank size? 

The shank size of this Forstner bit is 5/16".
