A specialized drilling tool, primarily used in woodworking, creates flat-bottomed holes or bores precise circular openings. It excels at producing clean, accurate holes, regardless of grain direction, and leaves a smooth finish within the bore. This tool is distinct from other drill bits due to its design, which typically includes a center spur for accurate positioning and outer cutting edges that shear the wood fibers.
The tool’s value lies in its ability to produce exceptionally clean and accurate results, making it essential for tasks like installing cabinet hinges, creating recesses for hardware, and crafting decorative elements. Its invention provided a method for woodworkers to achieve a level of precision previously difficult to attain. This has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of various woodworking projects.
