The Diablo FB-013 1-3/4" Forstner Bit is engineered for woodworking enthusiasts who demand exceptionally clean, precise holes.

Whether you’re creating large pockets for hardware, drilling dowels, or crafting custom cabinetry, this bit helps you achieve professional-grade precision with less effort.
- Large-diameter precision: 1-3/4" Forstner bit designed to produce big, flat-bottom holes with clean edges.
- Durable cutting edge: High-speed steel construction stands up to frequent use and heat buildup.
- Low tear-out design: Double-ground serrated edge minimizes splintering and chipping for smoother entrances and exits.
- Versatile drilling: Capable of drilling straight, angled, and overlapping holes across all types of wood.
- Ideal for cabinetry and joinery: Perfect for hinge pockets, cable passes, dowel work, and other large-pocket applications in furniture and cabinetry.
Why this bit stands out: the combination of a robust high-speed steel body and a double-ground serrated edge delivers noticeably cleaner holes with fewer chips, saving time on cleanup and rework. The FB-013 is a reliable workhorse for shop projects, from DIY shelving to professional cabinetry installs, where precision matters as much as speed.
Practical tips: use with a drill press for maximum accuracy, or a steady hand drill with a slow, even feed. Keep the bit cool with light passes and moderate lubrication, and clear chips frequently to maintain edge sharpness and hole quality.
