Craftsman Hardware supplies a specialised range of Forstner bits designed for clean, precise flat-bottomed holes in timber and wood-based materials. Ideal for cabinetry, joinery, furniture making and hardware installation, Forstner bits deliver excellent control, smooth walls and a cleaner finished result where accuracy matters.

Forstner bits are essential whenever hole quality, flat bottoms and neat edges are more important than simple drilling speed. Their cutting geometry scores the outer edge first before removing the waste inside, helping reduce tear-out and produce cleaner, more accurate holes in hardwood, softwood and engineered board materials. This makes them especially useful for hinge cups, dowel holes, hardware recesses and partial-depth drilling where standard twist bits cannot achieve the same finish. Choosing the right Forstner bit helps improve positioning, cut quality and consistency across fine woodworking and installation work.
