⚡ At a Glance
- • Cutting Quality: Clean 35mm holes with minimal tear-out, thanks to tungsten carbide tip
- • Best for: Carpenters, joiners and DIYers fitting concealed hinges in timber and veneers
- • Not ideal for: Metal or masonry drilling where specialist cutters are required
Tungsten carbide cutting edges and a circular rim guide produce flat-bottom 35mm holes. An adjustable depth stop controls drilling depth from 10mm to 40mm and can be removed for unlimited depth.
Clean Hinge Holes – Thanks to tungsten carbide cutting edges
A specially designed tip with tungsten carbide cutting edges slices through timber and plywood cleanly, while the circular rim guides the cutter for flat-bottom results. The geometry helps evacuate debris as the hole forms.
Smooth, tear-out-free hinge cups make hinge alignment simpler and reduce post-drill sanding. Repeat fittings remain consistent across multiple doors and panels.
Accurate Depth Control – With an adjustable depth stop
A depth stop fits on the shank and locks to limit drilling depth between 10mm and 40mm, and it can be removed for deeper holes. The stopper clamps to the shank to hold position during repeated cuts.
Set the exact hinge cup depth to match hinge specifications for consistent sits and flush fittings. Saves time by avoiding trial cuts and reduces the risk of over-drilling.
Versatile Hole Types – With a circular rim guide and wide machine compatibility
The circular rim guides bores around any arc and enables flat-bottom, pocket or overlapping holes in a range of timber substrates. Compatibility is broad, including drill presses, handheld electric drills and magnet-driven drilling machines.
Use for concealed hinge cups, door locks and repair work across plywood, veneer and solid timber. Works on both bench and portable setups, making it suitable for workshop and on-site tasks.
