Hydroponic Starter Lid Kits
Produce and sell pre-drilled lids (with 1-inch holes) for mason jars, buckets, and totes to fit 1-inch net pots. The toolless SpinLOCK arbor lets you swap sizes or replace cups quickly for small-batch production, and carbide tips cleanly cut plastics and thin sheet aluminum light shields. Bundle with net pots and starter nutrients.
Custom Peg Rack Furniture
Offer bespoke wall-mounted peg racks and floating shelves that use 1-inch dowel pegs for modular hooks and supports. The deeper cutting cup ensures precise blind holes for strong friction-fit pegs, speeding builds with repeatable accuracy. Sell via Etsy/Shopify with finish options and mounting hardware.
Magnetic Display Bars
Make premium magnetic bars (knife, spice jar lids, shop tools) using 1-inch recessed magnets. The clean, repeatable recesses minimize sanding and assembly time, while carbide teeth let you work across hardwoods, bamboo, and laminated stock. Offer custom lengths, wood species, and engraving.
On-Site Cable Pass-Through Service
Provide mobile drilling for 1-inch cable grommets in desks, conference tables, cabinetry, and van builds. The SpinLOCK arbor enables quick bit changes and tight space work, and carbide teeth handle wood, MDF, and thin aluminum furniture skins. Package with grommets, cleanup, and edge sealing.
Garage/Boat Rod Racks
Produce wall-mounted fishing rod racks with 1-inch handle sockets for garages, boathouses, and retail displays. The large gullet speeds chip evacuation on deep sockets, improving throughput and edge quality. Offer branded versions for local tackle shops and marinas.

Hydroponic Herb Raft
Drill 1-inch holes in food-safe tote lids or foam boards to fit 1-inch net pots for a compact Kratky hydroponics system. The carbide teeth cut cleanly through plastics and thin aluminum sheet for light-blocking lids, while the deeper cup gives confident depth on thicker materials. Add a simple nutrient solution and grow basil, mint, or lettuce on a countertop.
Modern Dowel-Peg Coatrack
Create a minimalist wall rack by drilling 1-inch blind holes into a hardwood slab to accept 1-inch dowel pegs. The large gullet helps clear chips in deep cuts for tight, straight sockets, and the SpinLOCK arbor speeds switching from pilot drilling to hole sawing. Add a slight upward angle for secure hanging and a natural oil finish.
Propagation Station With Glass Vials
Build a sleek plant propagation station by drilling spaced 1-inch holes in a wood beam to hold 25 mm glass tubes or small vials. The carbide tips handle hardwoods cleanly, minimizing tear-out around delicate edges. Mount on a wall or set on a window sill and root pothos, philodendron, or herbs in water.
Magnetic Knife/Tool Bar
Drill 1-inch recesses in the back of a wood strip to inlay 1-inch neodymium disc magnets and create a hidden-magnet knife or shop tool holder. The deeper cup allows consistent recess depth, and the clean cut reduces sanding time. Finish with a durable topcoat and keyhole slots for mounting.
Fishing Rod Rack
Make a vertical or horizontal rod rack by drilling a row of 1-inch holes in the top board to cradle rod handles, with U-notches below for tips. Carbide teeth power through hardwoods and composite boards; the large gullet keeps chips from binding in deeper holes. Felt line the holes for a pro look.
