Furniture hinges require installation accuracy, so the ability to make exactly the deepening that is needed is the main plus Forstner drills.

The hole is perfectly clean, so that the cup of the loop fits very tightly.

The disadvantage of the Forstner drill when working with solid wood can only be its low quality, typical of non-factory production. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a product from an official supplier and get a guarantee.

Drill with serrated cutting edge

Furniture hinges require precision when installing, so the ability to make such a recess is possible.

Depending on the type of panel, the cutter can be very hot, cauterize the edges and material chosen from the dimple. Therefore, when working with such a foundation, it is recommended to take breaks to cool the drill, making 3-4 approaches. This usually happens with MDF panels. In working with chipboard and chipboard elements of hard alloys allow you to make holes for loops quickly and without great effort.
