About

Famag Bormax Forstner Bits & Woodworking Accessories Famag is a precision tooling manufacturer best known among woodworkers for the Bormax line of Forstner bits. The Bormax design features a continuous rim with aggressive scoring spurs that produce exceptionally clean, flat-bottomed holes in solid wood, sheet goods, and engineered lumber. Whether you need a single bit for a specific diameter or a comprehensive set that covers the most common sizes, Famag offers both HSS and carbide-tipped versions to match your application. HSS Bormax bits are ideal for woodworkers drilling in solid hardwood and softwood, where the alloy steel holds a sharp edge through many holes before requiring resharpening. The carbide-tipped Bormax bits are engineered for abrasive materials including MDF, particleboard, and melamine-coated sheet goods that quickly dull standard HSS tooling. Sets, Accessories, and Specialty Items Famag offers several set configurations, from the compact 5-piece HSS set to the comprehensive 16-piece HSS set , all housed in custom carrying cases. Extend drilling depth with Bormax extension kits , control depth precisely with the 5-piece depth stop set , and store your collection safely in the Forstner bit storage case . Individual bits available for replacements or specific diameters HSS versions for solid wood; carbide-tipped for sheet goods and abrasive materials Depth stops, extension kits, and Morse taper adapters available separately Specialty pepper mill boring kits for turning projects
