FAMAG 1639 FORSTNER BIT EXTENSION SETS
The FAMAG 1639 Extension Set lets you transform standard cylinder boring bits and any tool with an 8 or 10 mm shank into deep-hole drilling powerhouses. Crafted from hardened tool steel with precision-ground run-out, each rod secures your bit via four 120°-spaced clamp screws and three machined flats for perfect concentricity. Housed in a wooden storage case, these extensions simplify long-reach tasks in cabinetry, turnery, and general woodworking.

⚙️ Application Tips
-
Select the Correct Extension: Match ID to your bit’s shank diameter before mounting.
-
Secure the Bit: Insert the bit fully, then tighten all four clamp screws in alternating sequence.
-
Balance Speed & Feed: Reduce RPM slightly when using longer extensions to maintain stability.
-
Clear Chips Regularly: Periodically retract and clear swarf to prevent binding in deep holes.
-
Inspect & Maintain: Check run-out on a dial gauge and re-tighten screws before each use.
