MPN: FB-002
Minimum order quantity is .
Precision-driven and built to last, the Diablo FB-002 3/8" Forstner Bit for Wood is your go-to tool when clean, flat-bottom holes are non-negotiable. Whether you’re assembling cabinets, installing hardware, or crafting furniture, this bit delivers reliable results project after project.
Diablo’s high-speed steel Forstner bit features a hardened steel body and an ultra-sharp spur that centers quickly and stays true. The steep, angled cutting edges carve smooth, accurate holes with clean edges in softwood, hardwood, plywood, and engineered woods, minimizing tear-out and chatter even when you push through dense grain or knots.
- 3/8" diameter for versatile joinery — ideal for hinge mortises, dowel cavities, and larger bore-throughs in a wide range of cabinetry and furniture projects.
- Hardened steel body ensures durability and sustained piercing performance, reducing the need for replacements over time.
- Ultra-sharp spur provides precise centering and minimizes wandering at start, so your holes begin exactly where you intend.
- Steep, angled cutting edges deliver crisp, flat bottoms and clean side walls in all wood types, even when drilling near grain boundaries.
- Drill-press or hand-drill compatible — works smoothly in both setups with standard drill chucks, giving you flexibility on a busy job site or at the workbench.
Use cases that shine with the FB-002: boring hinge recesses for cabinet doors, creating dowel joints for sturdy furniture frames, running wiring or dowels in bookshelf projects, and crafting mortises that require clean, square bottoms. If you’re upgrading from generic twist bits, you’ll notice the difference in accuracy and finish thanks to the Forstner geometry.
Tips for best results: start with a light pilot guide to establish the hole, feed steadily without forcing the bit, and backer board underneath to reduce tear-out on delicate faces. Maintain a steady cutting pace and let the bit do the work—the result is a consistently smooth, professional-looking hole every time.
