BORMAX3 - carbide-tipped Forstner bit for all woods
The first carbide-tipped Forstner bit from Famag is suitable for all woods and all wood materials. You can drill freehand with it, unlike conventional auger bits that require a stationary drill (which you can still use when high precision is required).
Even the hardest woods, such as Bongossi, are no problem for this bit. Equipped with 2 carbide main cutting edges and 2 carbide peripheral cutting edges.

Application:
The cutting length of the 175 mm long riffler files is approximately 40 mm
The cutting length of the 225 mm long riffler files is approximately 60 mm
The specified cross-section refers to the widest and thickest point. The cross-sections were measured by us and are only intended as a guideline to give you an idea of the size. They may vary slightly with each individual piece.

Problem of all users:
The carpenter and professional DIY enthusiast increasingly finds hardwoods (partly exotic, as in garden furniture or terraces) and coated materials with wear-resistant surfaces in interior construction today. Especially in kitchens and bathrooms, hard plastics like Corian and plastic-coated panel materials can be found. Examples include kitchen fronts, bathroom furniture, washbasins made of Corian, and kitchen countertops. When these materials need to be drilled, every craftsman wishes to be able to create a hole in no time with a cordless screwdriver or a conventional hand drill.
The solution: The HM Forstner drill Bormax3
Traditional Forstner bits made from tool steels impress with very good freehand guiding properties but are unsuitable for hardwood and hard surfaces due to the relatively low steel quality. During use, a strong heat development would occur at the closed peripheral cutting edge, which often causes the wood to burn and negatively alters the structure of the bit. Carbide-tipped drill bits have very good wear properties but are only suitable for stationary use, as they have almost no guiding properties necessary for freehand drilling with a hand drill.
