Wood Bit

TempPeck

Hi All,

I am trying to find a supplier for the wood drill bit as seen in the attached pictures. I am not even sure what it is called so I am struggling to locate one!

It is kind of like a hinge boring bit but with a guide nose sticking out the front. This guide nose is very important to keep the bit straight. A guide hole will already be bored before I need to use this bit.

Spec:
Nose piece must be: 18mm
Must cut hole: 45mm
Approx: 160mm long (Not vital)
Must fit in a standard drill
Has removable cutting edges.

If anyone had any info on a supplier or even the name of this bit I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

Al

There called 3D bits

TempPeck

I dont think they are the same thing but thanks for your post.
The one i'm looking for only cuts in a straight line not 3d like those ones.

Also they dont have the nose bit which is vital.

any reason why it must be that exact bit? would an auger bit etc not suit?

Yeah what are trying to do with it

I suppose a spade/flat bit wont do

I'm trying to locate it for a customer and its the only thing he will use.

I believe its for drilling into an uneven surface with coarse grain and it is vital that the bit follows the guide hole.

Its all he will use so I need to find that exact bit.

Has anyone ever seen one like this before or know what its called?

Why cant you just supply him with new replaceable cutters. then he would have a new bit.

I dont believe its a wood boring bit, I am pretty sure I know what its for. But I,m just doing a bit of googling on it, before I post anymore.

Thanks for your reply. He wants a number of them so unfortunately just replacing the blades wont do.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Still looking at the moment.

All the pictures of the bit, point me towards a solid guide pin router bit, for the early overhead routers. If the hinge bore of 45mm needed a guide hole bored first, it would be incorporated into the hinge boring head of the existing bit. As many drill bits are today. In this case its a plane shank. very reminiscent of the early overhead router bits, with a solid pilot instead of a bearing.

The shank make up is also similar to industrial router bit shanks of the early days. As some were locked in with grub screws into the machined slot.

Try Carbide Tools in Coolock they might run a few up for you or City Saw Services in Aughrim St D7

TempPeck

Thanks Noodle,

City Saw Services seem to be a good bet. I'll let you know how I get on.

No Probs

Citysaw have a supplier that would make it from scratch but not with the removable blades. Unfortunately the customer really wants the removable blades.

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Thanks for all your help so far by the way.
