26mm x 57mm Hinge Boring Bit, Right Hand, 10mm Shank

26mm Hinge Boring Bit For Precise Hinge Cups

26mm hinge boring bit from Amana Tool provides a 26mm cutting diameter that forms the hinge cup hole, so cabinet doors accept standard 26mm-style concealed hinges accurately. The right hand cutting direction matches machines set up for clockwise rotation, which supports predictable cutting behavior during repetitive work. The overall 57mm length gives a compact reach for common cabinet door thicknesses, helping maintain control and alignment on boring machines and drill presses. The 10mm shank is sized for boring machines designed around this metric interface, which helps the bit seat firmly in industrial chucks. Amana Tool manufacture ties this bit to a recognized cutting-tool brand, which helps buyers match it with other professional boring and routing tooling on the same line. The part number 203261 clearly identifies this specific configuration for ordering and restocking inside a shop workflow.

Key Hinge Boring Details That Support Workflow

• The 26mm cutting diameter shapes hinge cup recesses, so 26mm hinge hardware seats into the door face with a consistent circular pocket that matches common hinge cup dimensions for cabinet production runs.
• The right hand cutting orientation matches machines running in a clockwise spindle direction, so operators can run the bit without reversing rotation and maintain familiar feed direction across different boring stations.
• The 57mm overall length fits typical boring setups, so the bit reaches the door surface while keeping projection moderate for stable boring and reduced leverage on the spindle during repeated operations.
• The 10mm shank size fits boring machines built for this shank diameter, so the bit clamps securely in the chuck and supports repeatable positioning for multiple doors in a sequence.
• Compatibility with drill presses using a 3/8 inch shank version in the same application family connects this bit to mixed-shop setups, so shops standardizing on this diameter can match boring between different machines.

Mounting And Boring Setup For This Hinge Bit

The 10mm shank on this 26mm x 57mm hinge boring bit fits boring machines designed around a 10mm tool holder, so the bit centers properly in the spindle and tracks true during the cut. The stated application for boring machines links this bit directly to line-boring or dedicated hinge boring equipment, which supports accurate hinge cup positioning on production cabinet doors. Application to drill presses using a 3/8 inch shank version in the same family highlights that the 26mm cutting geometry carries over to press setups, which helps align results when drilling cup holes on different machines. The 57mm length provides working clearance above the door surface while remaining short enough to reduce deflection, which benefits hole accuracy across repeated hinges on tall doors.

Using This Bit In Cabinet And Shop Operations

Where This 26mm Hinge Boring Bit Fits In

This 26mm x 57mm hinge boring bit, identified as Amana Tool part 203261, fits into workflows that require 26mm hinge cup recesses on cabinet doors. In boring machines with 10mm chucks, the 10mm shank allows the bit to seat fully in the spindle, which supports concentric rotation for clean cup walls. The application for boring machines links this bit to hinge-boring stations on production lines, where repeatable 26mm holes are needed at fixed setback distances. Shops using drill presses with a related 3/8 inch shank option can still match the same 26mm diameter, which helps maintain hinge pocket dimensions when work moves between a boring machine and a press. The right hand cutting direction pairs with clockwise spindle rotation commonly found on these machines, so the bit can run in the standard direction without reconfiguring rotation, which simplifies setup for frequent hinge runs.

Details That Help Deliver Consistent Hinge Results

The 26mm hinge boring bit geometry cuts a defined 26mm diameter hole, which sets the pocket size that controls hinge cup fit and alignment on the door. The 57mm length keeps the cutting portion relatively close to the chuck, which can help reduce wobble and support straight entry into the door face across multiple bores. With a 10mm shank interfacing to boring machines, clamping forces concentrate on a solid, known diameter, which contributes to holding the bit without slipping under repeated cycles. Amana Tool branding connects this hinge boring bit to a professional cutting-tool line, which supports consistent performance expectations when coordinating router bits, boring bits, and other tooling on shared projects. The clear designation as a hinge boring bit for boring machines and drill presses anchors its role in preparing hinge cup holes rather than general-purpose drilling, which supports more predictable hinge alignment on assembled cabinets.

Common Questions About This Hinge Boring Bit

Select This Bit For 26mm Hinge Cup Boring

The Amana Tool 26mm hinge boring bit with 57mm length and 10mm shank ties directly to boring machines that cut 26mm hinge cup recesses, aligning the bit with common concealed hinge layouts. The right hand cutting orientation supports clockwise-spindle woodworking machinery, so boring can proceed using standard rotation across cabinet lines. The defined 26mm diameter helps maintain consistent hinge pockets when doors move between different machining centers. Using the Amana Tool 203261 designation connects this bit to other shop tooling from the same manufacturer. For cabinet and woodworking operations that rely on accurate 26mm hinge bores, this bit offers a clearly specified option keyed to boring machines and related drill press applications.
