Constructed from high speed steel, this bit features a sharp center spur that accurately locates the center of the hole before the cutting edge engages. The 1\/4-inch shank fits standard drill chucks and drill presses. Woodworkers, finish carpenters, and cabinet installers rely on this bit for precise, splinter-free bores in applications where hole quality matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FB-002 is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking tasks including flat-bottom hole drilling, pocket hole work, and overlapping hole patterns. It performs in solid wood, plywood, MDF, particleboard, and similar sheet goods. The bit is sold in a package quantity of 12, making it practical for shop stocking or job-site supply.

Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent rotation or shifting. For best results, use the drill press at a speed appropriate for the bit diameter and material density. Inspect the center spur and cutting edges before each use and replace bits that show chipping or deformation to avoid rough hole walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCut Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3-1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShank Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: High Speed Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.45 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: FREUD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: FB-002\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"DIABLO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559532822834,"sku":"FB-002","price":95.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/d2d7956b5673d4a8bc7c737077a42465.jpg?v=1786434733","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/freud-fb-002-forstner-bit-3-8-inch-high-speed-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
