## Overview

The Freud PB-009 1-1/4" Forstner Bit features advanced Precision Shear™ technology with a razor-sharp serrated edge and ultra-sharp spur for fast, clean, and accurate flat-bottom holes.

## Description

The Freud PB-009 – 1-1/4" Precision Shear Forstner Bit combines advanced Precision Shear™ technology with a razor-sharp serrated edge for flawless flat-bottom holes with minimal splintering and chipping. Unlike standard Forstner bits that produce small chips that increase friction and heat, the Precision Shear™ design features multiple cutting edges that generate greater shearing action, allowing for faster cutting and more efficient material removal. The ultra-sharp spur ensures an accurate starting hole, while the steep angled cutting edges create smooth and flat holes, all while producing chisel-like curls for easy chip removal. This Forstner bit is designed for use with drill presses or hand-held drills and is perfect for drilling flat bottom holes, pocket holes, or overlapping holes in plywood, hardwoods, and softwoods. With forged construction, the Freud PB-009 offers exceptional durability and long-lasting cutting performance, ensuring clean and accurate results on every project.

Review: Good quality, value, performance, all around excellent tool for the price. - This thing cuts like a demon! I've drilled at least 5 deep holes so far and it hasn't lost any sharpness. No wandering, which was a big problem with my first set of Forstner bits. The scores around the mouth of the hole are from me having a little trouble holding the drill because of arthritis and I was hurting pretty bad. It measures dead on 1". Stays firmly in the chuck. Does exactly as they claim. Good quality, decent price. I hope the sharpness lasts! I've only had it 2 days.
Review: Best Forstner Bits Available - If you want clean, accurate, well cut holes then these are the bits you should buy. I needed to cut a one inch drain hole in a stiff rubber water heater drain pain that was a half an inch thick. I cut through it with my Freud Forstner bit in less than a minute leaving a perfect one inch hole. Yes, you will pay more for these bits, but they are worth every penny you spend on them. Freud bits are sharp, durable and will cut through wood and rubber with near perfect precision. I highly recommend them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Precision and Clean Cuts
*by K***K on June 5, 2025*

This drill set delivers smooth, accurate cuts with minimal effort. The steep angled cutting edges and serrated design make a noticeable difference, especially when drilling flat-bottom, pocket, or overlapping holes. Even in dense hardwood, the bits stay sharp and cut cleanly without burning. The 7-piece range from 1/4" to 1" is versatile and well-suited for fine woodworking. Highly recommended for anyone looking for professional-quality results.
