Drill through-holes or flat-bottomed (blind) holes to a precise depth for woodworking projects or hardware installations.
Forstner Bits are guided by the wide outside rim of the bit, unlike most drill bits, which are guided by the tip. Because of that, they can be used along with a drill press to drill angled holes, holes that partially overlap, and holes on the edge of the material.
When used in combination with the Forstner Bit Extension (EXTN-1), this 27mm Forstner bit becomes an essential tool for making a Salt & Pepper Mill, where it needs a 27.4mm hole. It bores a tight fit for the blank.
