Freud FB-010 1-3/8-Inch by 3/8-Inch Shank Forstner Bit

This is the size you need to drill holes for euro hinges. Like all the Freud bits I have bought this bit comes very sharp, doesn t wobble and cuts clean holes as advertised. I am pleased with its performance and you can't beat the price. Speciallized bits for euro hinges are $75-$125 and are typically carbide tipped. If you were in the kitchen cabinet door business drilling hundreds of holes per week that would be neccessary, but in my small custom shop I only occasionally mount euro hinges and this bit works for me. Heck, its so cheep I'll probably buy a second one when I send this out to be reground ,which for me will be the day after it no longer cuts clean holes. Also this is not the bit for man made materials ie MDF, plywood, chip board. I use it only on hardwood styles- High speed steel wont go far in MDF!
