Forstner Bits

Forstner Bits  

Creating accurate, clean holes in wood requires more than just using any drill bit. Forstner bits are built for jobs where precision isn’t just preferred – it’s required. Known for producing flat-bottomed holes with smooth edges, they’re trusted by woodworkers, builders and hobbyists, who care about results that look clean and hold up over time. Whether you’re outfitting your shop or looking for a dependable bit to keep on hand, our lineup at Tractor Supply is made to match the pace and demands of woodworking.

Designed for Precise Woodworking

A Forstner bit gives you more control over the quality of each cut, gliding through material with clean finishes to save time on sanding and shaping. The cutting edge stays on track and makes it easier to hit exact measurements without the bit wandering off the mark. Useful for everything from pantry cabinet work to installing concealed hinges, Forstner bits are a favorite for projects that require cleaner holes and better-fitting components.

Power for Woodboring

Tough enough for solid hardwoods and precise enough for detailed work, these Forstner bits hold their edge and stay sharp where it counts. With the right pressure and speed, they produce consistent holes through plywood, pine, oak and other common materials used on jobsites and in workshops. They're a practical choice for creating pocket holes, overlapping cuts or angled bores that standard bits often struggle with.

Many of our options are made from high-speed steel or other tough metal blends, chosen to handle repeat use across a variety of woodworking tasks. That means you get more life from each bit and less downtime sharpening or replacing gear that has worn out too soon. A sharper edge also means cleaner holes and less heat buildup, which helps protect both your work surface and your tools.

Sizes to Meet Your Specs

Not every project calls for the same drill bit, and when precision matters, having the right size on hand makes a big difference. Forstner bits come in a wide range of diameters, giving you the freedom to work with accuracy, whether you're building furniture, adding hardware or tackling DIY jobs. Using the right size helps you avoid splintering and uneven holes, which can throw off alignment or weaken the material. A proper fit not only looks better, but it also holds better, and that can be the deciding factor between something that just works and something built to last.
