6mm Through-Hole Boring Bit For Cabinet Work

6mm x 70mm through-hole boring bit is a dedicated bit for creating accurate holes in cabinet and furniture parts, so installers and shop teams can handle hinge, fitting, and system drilling with predictable results across multiple panels.

The boring bit is designed for blind hole drilling for European style concealed hinges, which supports consistent hinge cup placement when working within standard cabinet layouts.

It is also designed for blind hole drilling for RTA fittings, giving you a single bit that handles typical ready-to-assemble connection points in panel construction.

The boring bit is designed for blind hole drilling for 32mm systems, so it supports line-boring layouts that follow common 32mm cabinet system spacing in production or shop environments.

The bit is identified as left hand, so it matches boring machines and drill presses set up to run counter clockwise when a left-rotating tool is required for the spindle.

The bit is classified under router bits in the tooling range, connecting it with other precision cutting tools used in woodworking and cabinet production.

Key Boring Bit Details That Support Precision

• The 6mm dimension defines the hole diameter, so hinge cups, fittings, or system components designed around 6mm bores seat correctly without excess play in the panel.
• The 70mm length allows deeper reach into workpieces, which supports through-hole or blind-hole drilling in thicker cabinet sides and gables while keeping the spindle safely away from the surface.
• The left hand design means the tool rotates counter clockwise, syncing with left-rotation spindles so the cutting edges engage the material correctly and reduce incorrect feed issues.
• The boring bit is made for boring machines with a 10 mm shank, allowing solid clamping in dedicated multi-spindle or single-spindle boring equipment commonly found in cabinet shops.
• The same bit is also made for drill presses with a 3/8 inch shank, enabling use on standard drill press setups where precise vertical drilling and depth control are part of daily workflow.
• Right hand tools are defined as rotating clockwise and left hand tools as rotating counter clockwise, giving a clear orientation reference so the correct bit is matched to each machine spindle direction on the floor.

Installation And Machine Setup For This Bit

This 6mm left hand boring bit is intended for boring machines with a 10 mm shank and drill presses with a 3/8 inch shank, so it can be installed directly into those collets or chucks without adapters designed for other sizes.

The boring bit is described as left hand and left hand tools rotate counter clockwise, which means it works with spindles set for counter clockwise rotation so cutting edges track properly through wood-based materials.

Right hand tools rotate clockwise, so this orientation detail helps distinguish this bit from standard clockwise-rotation tooling when setting up multiple heads or stations on a boring machine line.

The bit is not for use in portable drills or routers, keeping it in fixed-machine applications where stable work support, depth stops, and perpendicular alignment are part of the drilling setup.

Using The 6mm Left Hand Bit In Cabinet Production

Where This Boring Bit Fits In Cabinet Shops

This 6mm left hand boring bit is designed for blind hole drilling for European style concealed hinges, so it fits directly into hinge boring stations where precise cup locations are required on cabinet doors or case sides.

The bit is also designed for blind hole drilling for RTA fittings, meaning it serves in operations that prepare connection points for knock-down or ready-to-assemble cabinet and furniture systems.

Because it is designed for blind hole drilling for 32mm systems, the bit supports line-boring setups that follow 32mm spacing patterns on cabinet sides, shelves, and vertical partitions.

The boring bit is made for boring machines with a 10 mm shank, positioning it for use in dedicated multi-spindle or single-spindle boring equipment that runs repetitive drilling cycles in production.

The same bit is made for drill presses with a 3/8 inch shank, so it also fits general-purpose shop drill presses used for custom or lower-volume cabinet work while keeping a consistent hole size across machines.

The product sits in the bits, blades and cutters category and is classed as a router bit, placing it among precision cutting tools that are standard in woodworking and cabinet environments.

Details That Help Maintain Consistent Drilling Results

The 6mm diameter of this boring bit sets the final hole size, so any European style concealed hinge or RTA fitting engineered for 6mm bores can locate accurately and resist unwanted movement in service.

The 70mm through-hole length provides working reach, allowing drilling of deeper blind holes or complete through-holes in thicker panels without changing bits mid-operation, which keeps runs efficient.

The bit is identified as left hand and left hand tools rotate counter clockwise, so it aligns with machines configured for counter clockwise rotation, helping preserve clean entry and exit in typical cabinet substrates.

Right hand tools rotate clockwise, and this contrast with left hand rotation helps tooling managers assign the correct boring bit to each spindle, reducing downtime from incorrect rotation during setup.

The designation for boring machines using a 10 mm shank means the bit can be clamped securely in metric boring heads, which supports stable drilling and repeatable depths across multiple cabinet components.

The suitability for drill presses with a 3/8 inch shank broadens deployment to common drill press chucks, so both production and custom stations can share the same 6mm hole standard for hinges, fittings, and system holes.
