Key Design Features:
- “Lewis” Pattern Design: Incorporates a threaded tip, main cutting edge, and a lower blade to ensure smooth, continuous chip removal and precise entry.
- Stepped Head: Allows for controlled drilling, reducing the risk of wandering and improving guidance during deep hole boring.
- Hexagonal Shank: Provides firm grip in the drill chuck, minimizing slippage and ensuring efficient power transfer.
- Low Heat Build-Up: The special knife geometry reduces friction and heat development, significantly increasing the tool’s lifespan.
- Extended Length: With an overall length of 460 mm and a spiral length of 380 mm, the bit is ideal for drilling deep holes in hard wood.
Recommended Use:
- Specially suited for all types of hardwood, including dense and oily species like Bongossi.
- Not intended for soft wood—use FAMAG 1410 (with spur) for those applications.
