Cabinet Work Practicals
A typical joinery exercise is fitting a concealed hinge to a cabinet door. Students mark the centre in from the door edge. They bore the hinge cup hole with the 35 mm bit on the Drill Press, at one of its lower speeds. They stop at the depth of the cup, leaving the show face of the door untouched.
Students also bore a row of overlapping holes inside a mortise outline, then pare the sides square with Mortise Chisels. Teachers use offcuts to show how the rim cuts a clean edge, and how a flat bottom differs from the cone left by a twist drill.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are in the set?
There are 5 bits covering 15 to 35 mm, packed in a wooden box. The biggest bit matches the 35 mm cup of the common concealed cabinet hinge.
Can I use Forstner bits in a hand drill?
Yes, for shallow holes, but a drill press gives cleaner and squarer holes. The bit has no long point to steer it, so a hand drill must be held square and started slowly. Clamp the work so it cannot spin.
Can the bits be sharpened when they start to burn the wood?
Yes. A bit that burns, cuts slowly or needs heavy pressure is usually dull. Hone the inside faces of the cutting edges with a fine diamond file, giving each edge the same number of strokes. Leave the outside of the rim alone so the bit keeps its size.
How is this set different from the Forstner Bit Set?
This set has 5 bits from 15 to 35 mm in a wooden box. The Forstner Bit Set has tungsten carbide tipped cutting edges and spurs, with a 10 mm shank and a 90 mm overall length.
How do I bore overlapping holes cleanly?
Clamp the work to the drill press table so it cannot shift. Bore every second hole first, then go back and bore the holes between them. That way the centre point of each new hole lands on solid wood, and the rim follows the edge of the earlier holes.
