Wood Forstner Drill Bit
Foster drill bits are a special type of drill bit that is used to drill precise, clean holes with flat bottoms and smooth vertical walls. Unlike other drill bits, Foster drill bits are known for their ability to drill precise, clean holes without splintering the wood.
The design features a small protrusion in the center for precise positioning and a cutting edge or teeth around the perimeter to ensure a clean perimeter and smooth hole walls. Due to the nature of their design, Foster drill bits are best used with a drill press rather than a handheld drill, which provides the necessary stability and control, while a handheld drill may not provide enough power or precision. Their ability to drill high-quality holes with smooth sides and clean edges makes them indispensable in fine woodworking, cabinetry, and joinery.
Foster drill bits are primarily used in applications where a precise fit, smooth sides, a relatively smooth bottom, and an aesthetically pleasing hole with a finished quality edge are critical. They are often used to make flat bottom holes for dowels, hinges, and other hardware installations. Additionally, flat bottom holes are ideal for hardware installations, and they are used to drill precise holes for concealed hinges and other accessories. The minimal tearout produced by Foster drill bits ensures that the finished product looks clean and professional.
