Freud FC-107 1/4" to 1-3/8" (Dia.) 7pc. Forstner Bit Set

Meet the Freud FC-107 1/4" to 1-3/8" (Dia.) 7pc Forstner bit set—a precision woodworking companion designed for consistently clean, flat-bottom holes in veneers, plywood, and thick stock. Built for serious work, these bits pair micro-grain carbide with titanium tips to deliver long-lasting sharpness and precise cuts where it counts.

• 7-piece range covers 1/4" to 1-3/8" diameter, giving you a versatile toolkit for a wide variety of drillings—from near-pilot holes to large-fiber recesses.
• Carbide/titanium micro-grain tips stay sharper longer and resist wear, helping you maintain clean edges and repeatable results job after job.
• Center spur ensures quick, accurate location of the pilot hole, reducing wandering on tough or laminated materials.
• Guided by a sharp outer rim for precision bore control, enabling clean overlaps, precise pocket holes, and flush-bottom recesses.
• Re-sharpenable design extends the life of the bits, saving you money and minimizing downtime on high-demand projects.
• Ideal for veneers and thick stock—produces smooth edges on laminates and clean, flat-bottom holes in solid hardwoods and plywood alike.

Why this set stands out: the combination of carbide-tipped edges with a durable titanium touch provides superior edge retention and reduced tear-out, especially on delicate veneers and dense hardwoods. The center spur minimizes drift, while the outer rim geometry concentrates material removal for crisp, accurate holes. And when the bit dulls, you can re-sharpen it to restore original performance, making this a reliable, long-term addition to any shop.

Practical use cases include drilling clean pocket holes for hidden joinery, boring through cabinet doors and face frames, and creating precision stop-hoints for inlays or hardware installation. The FC-107 set is especially well-suited for cabinetry, furniture making, pattern work, and any project where accurate hole size, clean bottoms, and minimal tear-out matter most.

Tips for best results: clamp the workpiece firmly, use a slower feed rate to maximize edge quality, start with a center mark or pilot hole, and back the work with a sacrificial backing board to prevent tear-out on the exit face. For deeper holes, drill in stages to manage chip evacuation and heat, then finish with a light pass for a pristine bottom. Store and maintain the bits properly to preserve their sharp edge and re-sharpening capability.

The Freud FC-107 7-piece Forstner bit set is the clear choice for woodworkers who demand precision, durability, and practical value from a compact range. If you’re building cabinetry, installing hardware, or crafting intricate inlays, this set delivers reliable performance time after time.
