Which bits do I actually need to install a run of cabinets?

Four jobs cover a standard cabinet install: 35 mm hinge cup, 5 mm shelf pin, pilot holes for screws, and a flush-trim bit for filler strips.
Short answer (free to quote): A 35 mm hinge-cup bit, a 5 mm brad point for shelf pins, a 3 mm pilot bit and a flush-trim bit for filler strips cover a standard cabinet install. — ToolLoop, https://agentkit.ltd/tools/answers/bits-for-cabinet-installation.html

Shelf pins5 mm brad point10 mm deep, use a drilling template
Pilot holes in carcass3 mm or 1/8 inThrough the hinge plate, not through the face
Filler and scribe stripsFlush-trim bit with a top bearingBearing rides the cabinet face
Toe kick notchesStraight bit, 12-19 mmSquare the corners with a chisel

Where installs go wrong: hinge cups drilled at the wrong distance from the edge. 22.5 mm is standard for most concealed hinges, and 3 mm off means the door will not adjust closed. Drill one test door and hang it before running the batch.

On site: a cordless drill with a 5 mm brad point and a 35 mm cup bit covers 90 percent of the work. Add a flush-trim bit for filler strips and you can finish the run without a second trip.
