Forstner bits are ideal for drilling precise flat-bottomed holes in woodworking. Manufactured from heat-treated steel for strength and durability, this 48mm bit features a 3/8" shank compatible with most drills and presses. Its design minimizes tear-out for cleaner cuts, and the center point ensures accurate starting and guidance. This bit can be used to cut on the edge of wood, create overlapping holes, or cut angled holes with a drill press. It is perfect for applications requiring a specific depth or a clean, precise hole bottom without passing through the material.
