Engineered for Endurance & Precision
Discover the craftsmanship of German engineering with the Famag Bormax³ Carbide‑Tipped Forstner Bits. Forged from premium alloy tool steel and finished with black oxide, these bits resist rust and pitch buildup more effectively than conventional options. Thanks to their robust micro‑grain carbide layer, they stay razor‑sharp up to ten times longer—perfect for demanding woodworking tasks.
The innovative design includes a carbide raking tooth immediately behind the cutting edge, delivering remarkably clean, tear‑free cuts without splintering—even at the entry and exit points.
Crafted for versatility and efficiency, these bits shine across materials—from softwoods and hardwoods to melamine and particleboard. Their ability to perform at high RPMs reduces burning and clogging, leading to smoother drilling and increased productivity.
With a waveform‑style body and precision scoring cutters, these bits stay cool and sharp longer than traditional Forstner bits. Plus, the milled‑from‑carbide center spur ensures perfect alignment, while the hex shank offers sturdy bite and anti‑slip stability for both handheld and machine use.
Most woodworkers are familiar with Forstner bits, specifically designed to create precise, clean, flat-bottomed holes, and much cleaner than a spade bit. How could they get any better? By adding carbide!
These Famag Bormax Forstner bits have a solid carbide, 3/32”-thick chipper, running the full diameter of the bit. The center spur is milled into that chipper, making it part of the solid piece. The side spurs are canted at a negative shear angle, compared to the shear angle of the main cutter. The carbide scoring teeth are set just below the perimeter, creating a scoring cut to prevent tear out. The micro-grain carbide bits maintain a sharp cutting edge up to ten times longer than standard tool steel, and deliver clean and splinter-free holes.
These Forstner bits are ideal for use in handheld drills, drill presses, and lathe applications and are offered in eight sizes ...
... or in a money-saving set, complete with storage case.
These bits work efficiently in a variety of materials, including softwoods and hardwoods with precise, clean cuts.
And these carbide forstner bits are just as efficient in particleboard, melamine and even solid surface materials.
Kick your Forsnter bit performance up a couple of notches with carbide-tipped Forstners from Famag.
