Product Description
Milwaukee 1 in. Forstner Bit
Model Number: 48-14-1001
The Milwaukee 48-14-1001 is a 1 in. Forstner Bit — a precision woodworking boring bit for drilling flat-bottom, cylindrical-sidewall holes in wood, hardwood, plywood, MDF, and wood composites for cabinetmaking, furniture building, and woodworking applications where the 1 in. bore is specified. The 1 in. diameter is one of the most commonly used larger Forstner bit sizes — applied across a wide range of woodworking hardware applications including 1 in. diameter wooden knobs and handle hardware mortises, furniture leg attachment recesses, specific European hinge hardware that requires a 1 in. pilot hole, and the broad range of woodworking hardware that specifies 1 in. flat-bottom hole installation. The Forstner's three-element cutting geometry — center brad point, outer rim cutters, and flat cutting face — produces the precise, clean flat-bottom holes that hardware-specified installation requires with clean entry faces free of surface splintering.
The flat-bottom hole geometry is specifically required for hardware that must sit at a controlled depth with flat bearing against the bottom of the mortise — hinge hardware, wooden hardware back plates, and furniture connection hardware at this size all rely on the flat-bottom geometry for correct function and adjustment. Milwaukee manufactures the 1 in. Forstner bit to professional woodworking quality standards with the dimensional accuracy and sustained sharpness that production cabinetry and furniture work requires across many holes per shift. Milwaukee Forstner bits are available across the full range of standard woodworking diameters for complete coverage of all hardware specifications.
