Achieve clean, precise holes in your turning and woodworking projects with this 1" 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.
