Robert Bosch Tool Group FB014 Forstner Bit 7/8 Inches

Product Description

The ROBERT BOSCH TOOL GROUP FB014 is a 7/8-inch Forstner bit engineered for clean, flat-bottomed holes in wood. Chrome steel alloy construction allows the bit to withstand high temperatures generated during drilling, which reduces the risk of scorching the workpiece. A brad point tip centers the bit precisely at the marked location before cutting begins. The result is splinter-free entry and a smooth bore wall, even when drilling through end grain or across knots. This bit ships in a package quantity of 12, making it practical for shop stocking or kit assembly.

The FB014 is suited for fine woodworking applications where hole quality matters: cabinet hinge boring, decorative inlay pockets, shelf pin holes, and dowel seat prep. It runs in both portable hand drills and stationary drill press setups, giving installers and woodworkers flexibility in how they work. The 7/8-inch diameter covers a common hinge cup and plug size used across residential cabinetry and furniture work.

Installation Notes

Forstner bits are typically used by finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and woodworking tradespeople. Secure the workpiece firmly before drilling to prevent movement during bit engagement. When using a portable drill, start at low speed to allow the brad point to seat before increasing RPM. Avoid forcing the bit through dense grain, as excessive feed pressure increases heat and dulls the cutting edge.
