Individual Forstner Bits
MLCS_forstner_bits
Use the 1-3/8 (35mm) bit (item #9219) to mount 35mm European cup hinges, and the 2-1/8" bit (#9231) to mount door locks.
Use the 3-1/8" bit (item #9247) to mount clock movements.

Forstner bits are designed to drill flat bottom or through holes cleanly in end grain, thin stock, veneers and regular stock. They enlarge existing holes with ease and can bore any arc of a circle. These bits will not move off center through unusual grain or knots. Great for mounting mini-quartz clock movements, cup hinges, and door locks. Sizes 1/4" to 7/8" bits are supplied with solid rims. The saw teeth design for larger diameter bits (1" and larger) stop burning and cut faster without losing the advantages of Forstner bit action. Shank size is 3/8" and overall length is 3-1/2" for sizes 1/4" through 2-1/8", excluding metric sizes. For sizes 2-1/4" through 4" shank size is 1/2" and overall length is 6-3/8". Use large bits in drill press.
Refers to a Carbide Tipped forstner bit. CT bits have a 3/8" shank with 3-1/2" overall length.
Indicates a forstner bit that has been TIN (Titanium Nitride) coated.
 
Use 14mm size for barrel hinges and 28mm for IKEA hinges
