Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-14-1374 Forstner Bit

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-14-1374 is a 1-3/8 inch Forstner bit designed for drilling clean, flat-bottomed holes in wood and wood composite materials. Forstner bits are the standard choice when a job calls for precise, smooth-sided bores — such as cabinet hinge pockets, shelf pin holes, or any through-bore where tear-out must be minimized. This bit is sold in a package quantity of 24, making it a practical stocking item for shops, service vans, or supply rooms that see regular woodworking and finish carpentry demand.

Forstner bits of this diameter are commonly used in residential and light commercial finish carpentry, cabinet installation, and millwork applications. A 1-3/8 inch cutting diameter covers a range of common boring tasks where standard twist or spade bits cannot produce the flat-bottomed, clean-walled hole geometry required. Licensed carpenters, finish contractors, and skilled tradespeople working in built-ins, cabinetry, and furniture assembly routinely specify this bit size.

Key Features

• 1-3/8 inch cutting diameter for flat-bottomed hole boring
• Forstner geometry minimizes tear-out on wood and wood composite surfaces
• Produces smooth sidewalls suited for hinge cups, shelf pins, and precision bores
• Sold in a package quantity of 24 units for shop or van stocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Forstner bit for use in drill presses, corded drills, and cordless drills with adequate torque; compatible with any drill accepting a standard round or hex shank Forstner bit of this diameter.

Installation Notes

Forstner bits perform best at lower RPM settings — use a drill press or variable-speed drill and reduce speed as bit diameter increases. Secure workpieces with clamps before drilling to prevent movement and ensure bore accuracy. Clear chips frequently during deep cuts to reduce heat buildup and extend bit life. Eye protection is required when operating any rotary cutting tool.
