Brad Point Drill Bits
Brad Point Drill Bits
Accurate holes are essential to woodworking, especially when you consider the high percentage of those holes which are used for joinery of some sort or other. Whether that joinery is for doweling or using mechanical fasteners, the location of the holes must be exact. Standard twist drills have a tendency to skid across the surface of the wood, making them extremely inaccurate when used for woodworking. Brad point drills eliminate this skidding, with the brad point sinking into the wood surface, making positive contact. This ability also makes them good for drilling into curved surfaces and at an angle.
