Tired of trying to make steel bits work . They seem to dull easy. Then you take extra time, and muscle to grind , instead of drill holes !

Scott M on Feb 17, 2017
Needed long shank for cross drilling on some of my toy truck body sections for axles. This is just big enough for my Red Oak 1/4" axle shaft to turn freely without slop. I had worn out my High Carbon ones so I switched to Carbide on my most used ones.

Exactly how long is the 3/4" bit? I need to drill a hole in an oak mantle about 6 inches deep using my drill press.
golfgeek70 on Jul 9, 2015
BEST ANSWER: It's 4 3/4 inch you can buy an extension that's 4 inches that should work for you total would be about 8 inches!
Is there a set of long shank carbide bits available?
Evan Rowe on Dec 17, 2017
how long is the 1/4 " bit? need to drill to 3 5/8" thanks
richard r on Jul 12, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I have a 3/4" long-shaft forstner. Its overall length is 4-11/16 not counting the center point.
how long is the shank on the 1 1/4 inch long shank carbide forstner bit, how deep can I drill?
Jim M on May 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: From the end of the shank to the front of the cutter face is 4 5/8 inches.

You should know, though, that there are extenders that you can get to allow you to drill deeper.
I'm looking for a carbide 15/16" bit with a 4" to 4-1/2" shank?

I drilled 250 holes 1” deep in white oak handrail. The bit was still sharp after 250 holes. I would definitely recommend this drill bit.

Stayed sharp after drilling over 100 holes and is ready for more.
I put the long shank Carbide Forster Bit to the test drilling well over 100 holes 1 inch deep into 8 quarter hard maple. The drill worked great. I bought two bits to make sure I could finish this job. I only used one bit and it's still sharp and ready for more. I will diffenatly recommend this product to others..

3/4" Long Shank Carbide Forstner Bit
I have used a 3/4" Carbide Forstner Bit for several years. It has drilled a lot of holes and is still sharp and doing a good job. I have purchased a second bit to use in a different application.
These are great bits.

Top quality forstner bits
These bits are great. Since they are carbide, they're super sharp and cut very clean holes. They're certainly more expensive than standard HSS bits, but well worth it. I wish they came in a set though, as you can normally get a better deal that way.
