Freud 1-1/4 in. Precision Forstner Bit features a double-ground, razor-sharp serrated edge designed to slice smoothly throughout the rotation of the bit, minimizing splintering and chipping for flat-bottom holes. This advanced geometric design incorporates multiple cutting edges that enhance shearing action, allowing for faster rotational speeds and more efficient cutting. Unlike competitive Forstner bits that produce small chips and dust leading to increased friction, heat, and quick dulling, this precision bit maintains sharpness and delivers clean, smooth edges without the need for sanding. The bit includes an ultra-sharp spur for accurate starting holes and steep angled cutting edges that create smooth, flat holes while producing chisel-like curls for quick and clean chip removal. Crafted with quality forged construction, this bit is built for extended life and backed by Freud's Limited Lifetime .
