mortising tool / machine
Explanation:
Assuming this question concerns a tool rather than just an (essential) part (a bit), there are several reliable options.
Kluwer Groot Polytechnisch Woordenboek moreover mentions (relevant to wood):
'trepanning' and 'gin drilling'.

As far as I remember from technical colleagues, I'd recommend to opt for 'mortising'.
Even if just the 'bit' is relevant,(<--mortising bit).

neutral  Fred ten Berge: Lots of doubt, since 'bit', as you know, refers to the last couple of centimetres - so to speak - of the drilling machine/apparatus/tool. A router, as confirmed by Kluwer etc., refers, in respect of woodworking, to 'bovenfrees'. Different from langboren!

agree  Johan Venter: Mortising machine. Google "langgatboor" and "mortising machine" under images and similar results are given. Mortising tool, however, does not deliver satisfactory results.

  ->  Also considering asker's further explanation (this concerns a device!) there's no doubt that "mortising machine " is by far the best solution! Thanks a lot for your Googling investigation!
