Extreme-Performance 1/8 Drill Bit for CNC Routers, Free Cribbage Files
Description
The wickedly fast Lightning Series 1/8" carbide drill bit is designed specifically for the high speeds of CNC routers. Want to make Cribbage boards and other CNC woodworking projects. This high-performance 1/8" drill bit for CNC routers will be your go-to bit from now on.
Drill through every hole at lightning speed. With the ability to drill at 17,000 RPM and 60 inches per minute, each hole is completed at blazing speed...less than a second without peck drilling! And the Lightning Series 1/8 CNC drill bit will last through more cribbage boards than you can imagine.
If you are planning on designing and making DIY cribbage board games, you want the holes to be perfectly positioned. And regular drill bits can't guarantee that.
Whether you are making a cribbage board by hand or with a drilling jig or on a CNC router, choosing any standard drill bit can lead to problems in your project. Because standard 1/8 drill bits lack the rigidity and a true point.
This 1/8" router drill bit has 3 characteristics built into it for extreme performance:
- It is made of solid carbide steel. Standard 1/8" drill bits are made of high-speed steel. Density changes in wood grain cause high-speed steel bits to flex while drilling, causing your cribbage board holes to be out of alignment and at a slight tilt. Carbide is rigid so it resists flexing.
- High-speed steel heats up faster, so peck drilling is required to allow the tip to cool.
- The point grind reduces burrs around the top of the hole. It also holds a sharp edge 100x longer than high-speed steel.
- The smoothed flutes allow chip ejection while the drill bit is plunging, further allowing a complete hole without pecking.
The 1/8 CNC router drill bit will last through hundreds of boards if you follow the feeds & speeds listed below. This 1/8 cribbage board drill bit can also be used for aluminum, brass, /steel acrylic, and other materials.
Included are Cribbage board files I found for free. They are yours to do what you want.

I really like watching his videos. They are informative and easy
To understand and follow. Great bits from the store and I like the personal message on the back of the package along with the M&M’s, Keep up the good work.
performs as advertised...soo much faster than pecking
the bit works great
Just cut my first cribbage board today. The new lightning bit took 11 minutes 45 seconds as opposed to 3 times that long (at least) with another bit. Very very pleased. I would purchase again in a heartbeat!
Made drilling of the many holes painless and fast.
