About this forstner bit

The Narex Forstner Bit – 40 mm is designed for woodworkers who require accuracy, control, and a clean finish when drilling large-diameter holes. Unlike standard drill bits, a forstner bit is engineered to create flat-bottomed holes with sharp, well-defined edges—essential for precise woodworking and professional installations.

This bit is manufactured from high-quality tool steel and carefully ground to deliver reliable performance across a wide range of materials. Whether you are fitting concealed hinges or creating joinery features, it provides the consistency needed for work where appearance and fit matter.

Performance & use cases

This 40 mm forstner bit excels in tasks that demand precision and surface quality. The cutting geometry allows it to slice cleanly through wood fibers, producing smooth walls and a flat base that seats hardware accurately. This makes it especially suitable for hinge mortises in cabinetry, plug making, and furniture joinery where tolerances are tight.

The strong center spur anchors the bit at the start of the cut, reducing wandering and improving control. This is particularly helpful when drilling into finished panels or working close to edges. The surrounding cutting edges score the perimeter cleanly before removing material, helping minimize tear-out on visible surfaces.

Efficient chip clearance reduces heat buildup and helps maintain edge sharpness during extended use. The bit performs reliably in hardwoods, softwoods, MDF, plywood, and composite panels, giving you flexibility across different project types. In UAE workshops focused on cabinetry, furniture making, and detailed joinery, this forstner bit supports repeatable, professional-quality results.

How to use (quick guide)

• Secure the workpiece firmly to prevent movement
• Install the bit in a drill press or handheld drill for controlled drilling
• Align the center spur with the desired hole location
• Drill at a steady speed without forcing the cut
• Clear chips periodically during deep drilling
• Allow the bit to cool between extended drilling sessions
