What is a Boring Bit?

While twist drills are among the most common CNC tools, their use is limited for boring processes. Because twist drills are designed to create through-holes, their cutting geometry limits performance when boring deep pockets or blind holes. CNC boring bits are designed specifically to handle these more complicated processes. Featuring a unique W-tip cutting head and more efficient chip disposal, a boring bit is the ideal tool for creating deep holes or blind bores in a workpiece.

The key benefit of boring bits is the quality of finish they provide. Specialised cutting geometries ensures boring bits minimise the damage to the top and bottom of a workpiece while leaving behind a perfectly smooth bore. This reduces the need for hand finishing and allows boring bits to handle processes that would be challenging for twist drills. One of the most common uses of boring bits is creating holes for dowels. With dowel joints being popular in the cabinet and furniture making industry, the ability to create precise dowel holes can dramatically improve the quality of your final products.
