5mm Through-Hole Dowel Drill Boring Bit Use

5mm x 70mm through-hole dowel drill boring bit is a solid carbide bit designed for drilling 5 mm diameter dowel holes, so it supports accurate, consistent joinery work in cabinets and other wood components. The 70 mm overall length provides reach for standard dowel depths while keeping the bit compact enough for controlled boring in shop or production fixtures. A 30 mm cutting height focuses the cut where it is needed, helping the cutting edges stay engaged in the material throughout the feed stroke. The 10 mm shank matches common boring and drill heads, allowing this bit to seat securely in the collet or chuck for stable rotation. Right hand rotation matches standard clockwise spindle direction, which aligns with typical boring machines and drill presses configured for wood drilling tasks.

Key Through-Hole Bit Details For Woodworkers

• The 5 mm diameter cutting edge drills precise dowel-sized holes, which helps parts align tightly when assembling cabinet sides, shelves, and frames.
• The 70 mm overall length gives working depth for many dowel patterns, supporting both shallow and deeper through-holes in a predictable way.
• The 30 mm cutting height concentrates the cutting action along a defined section, which helps maintain a straight bore through the workpiece.
• The 10 mm shank is sized for typical boring equipment, allowing the bit to sit firmly and transfer rotation without excessive runout.
• Right hand rotation follows standard clockwise spindle setups, so the bit engages material in a familiar cutting direction for most woodworking drills.
• Solid carbide construction provides a rigid cutting tool, which supports clean boring performance in demanding drilling operations.

Mounting And Dowel Boring Fit Details

The 10 mm shank on this Amana Tool bit is sized to fit boring heads or chucks designed for a 10 mm interface, so the bit can be clamped evenly along its shank length. This stable grip helps the 5 mm diameter cutting edges track accurately into the workpiece, which is important when drilling matching dowel holes across multiple parts. With 70 mm overall length, the bit extends far enough from the spindle to reach through typical panel thicknesses while still leaving shank engagement in the collet. The 30 mm cutting height keeps the active flutes within the material during the main part of the drilling stroke, contributing to a clean, cylindrical hole that suits dowel insertion.

Where This 5mm Boring Bit Fits Your Work

Using The 5mm Dowel Drill Bit In Wood

This INDUSTRIAL217015 solid carbide through-hole dowel drill boring bit is intended for creating 5 mm diameter holes in woodworking setups, so it supports dowel-based construction where precise hole size matters. The through-hole design means the cutting geometry is arranged for boring fully through a workpiece, which is useful when holes must pass from one face to the other for dowel alignment or hardware clearance. A 30 mm cutting height offers enough engagement to drill deeper than thin cabinet sides or drawer fronts, giving flexibility across different panel thicknesses. Because the bit belongs to the bits, blades and cutters category under boring bits and is in the router bits product class, it fits into workflows where dedicated boring tools are preferred for clean, repeatable hole production. Solid carbide construction keeps the cutting portion rigid under load, which supports smooth entry and exit as the bit completes through-holes in wood-based materials.

Details That Support Repeatable 5mm Boring Results

The defined 5 mm diameter on this Amana Tool bit controls hole size so dowels designed for 5 mm bores seat consistently, which is important when parts must pull tight without excessive play. With 70 mm overall length, the bit can pass through many standard panel stacks or reach into jigs while still leaving space for secure clamping on the 10 mm shank. Right hand rotation aligns with typical clockwise machine spindles, so the bit tracks in a predictable spiral pattern as it advances through the material. The 30 mm cutting height localizes the cutting action, helping maintain straight sidewalls as chips clear along the flutes. Identified by manufacturer part number 217015, the bit can be referenced reliably when matching or replacing tooling within a shop, supporting consistent setups across multiple machines or projects.
