Freud CB35057L 35 mm (Dia.) Cylinder (Hinge) Bit is built for accurate hinge mortising in doors and cabinetry. Its 35 mm cylinder profile creates clean, consistent holes that align precisely with standard hinges, helping you achieve reliable door movement and professional fits.

What sets this bit apart is its thoughtful cutter arrangement: two wing cutters and two spur cutters work together to prevent bottom-side tear-out. The result is flatter mortises, less post-drill sanding, and a tighter, more dependable hinge installation—especially important when working with hardwoods or dense materials.

Compatibility and setup are straightforward. The CB35057L ships with a 10 mm shank and an adjustable top screw, making it compatible with most boring machines. This flexibility supports repeatable results across multiple projects, from kitchen and bathroom cabinetry to interior doors and built-in furniture.

• 35 mm diameter creates standard hinge mortises without guesswork
• Two wing cutters and two spur cutters minimize tear-out for cleaner bottoms
• 10 mm shank with adjustable top screw for easy integration with most boring machines
• Designed for accurate boring, delivering consistent alignment and hinge performance

Use cases and practical tips: align the bit with your hinge layout before drilling, clamp the workpiece securely, and consider a light pilot hole in very hard woods to reduce cutter strain. For repeat installations, mark a reference line and bore multiple mortises in a single setup to maintain uniformity across doors or panels.
