  • Outside cutting teeth can cause difficulty when re-centering the bit after clearing debris.

If you’re looking for a Forstner bit that’s built for clean, controlled boring, the WOBLLMX 1-1/2″ (38mm) option is designed to help you cut smooth, flat-bottomed holes with less chipping. It uses C2 carbide-tipped cutters and a 3-cutter (triple-flute) design aimed at efficient cutting in both hard and soft woods.

This bit is also positioned as a versatile shop choice for common woodworking sheet goods—like veneered plywood, MDF, chipboard—and can be used on select non-wood materials such as plastic, rubber, and fiberglass during processing or installation. Note that shank style may vary (round/hex) and minor size deviations are stated as normal.

  • Triple-flute (3-cutter) design for smooth cutting with reduced wobble and burning
  • C2 carbide-tipped cutters with a hardened steel build for durability and structural strength
  • Designed for flat-bottomed and pocket holes with minimal chipping
  • Suitable for hard wood, soft wood, plywood, MDF, and chipboard
  • Works on wood and plastic surface recommendations (also noted for rubber and fiberglass)
