TUNGSTEN CARBIDE TIP (TCT) Tungsten carbide is approximately twice as stiff as steel, with a Young's modulus of approximately 530–700 GPa (77,000 to 102,000 psi), and has nearly double the density of steel—midway between that of lead and gold. It is comparable to corundum (α-Al₂O₃) in hardness. The tungsten carbide tip is specially designed to cut clean holes in end grain and thin stock, ideal for boring concealed hinges and door locks. DESIGN WITH CURVE The curved design efficiently removes debris and enhances performance during operation. Features: 1. Forstner bit drills clean holes in soft and hardwood. 2. Two spurs and a centering point ensure repeated, clean, and accurate hole cutting. 3. Sharp center spur precisely locates the center of the hole. 4. Drills precise flat-bottom holes without chipping in softwood of any thickness. 5. Suitable for drilling in any direction and creating arched openings. Capable of drilling partially overlapping flat-bottom holes for easy mortising. 6. Designed for use with a power drilling machine. Note: 1. This Forstner drill bit is designed for clockwise rotation only and is not reversible. Operate at gradually increasing speeds from low to high. 2. Maintain the cutting edges by sharpening when necessary to prevent damage. Broken or worn tips can significantly reduce drilling accuracy and quality.
