This Bosch PRO Wood Brad Point Drill Bit is designed for carpenters and woodworkers needing precise drilling in various wood types and plastic-coated boards. Its key benefit is the high efficiency for clean through holes and pocket holes in tasks like doweling or furniture assembly, facilitated by a precision cylindrical shank. A potential limitation is its specific design for wood and plastics, making it unsuitable for hard materials like metal or concrete.

This drill bit is designed for use on hardwood, softwood, and plastic-coated boards.
No, this bit is specifically designed for wood and plastics only. Using it on metal or masonry will damage the bit and the material.
The brad point is the sharp tip at the center of the bit that accurately pierces the material, preventing the bit from 'walking' and ensuring a clean starting point.
Use the correct drill speed for the material, apply steady pressure, and ensure the bit is sharp and clean. Always clamp your workpiece securely.
It features a precision cylindrical shank designed for a secure grip in standard three-jaw drill chucks.
Clean with a brush or dry cloth after use and store in a dry place to prevent rust.
The dimensions for this specific model are 8 mm diameter, 80 mm working length, and 117 mm overall length.
Ensure the brad point is firmly seated on the material before drilling. Consider lightly scoring the start point with a center punch or knife.
Reduce drill speed and apply steady pressure. Drill through the material, and then finish the hole with a backing board to support the wood fibers.
Retract the bit partially to clear wood chips from the flutes. Ensure you are using the correct drill speed for the material.
Use a slower drill speed and ensure the bit is sharp. A backing board can also help prevent chipping on the exit side.
Setup: Insert the drill bit's cylindrical shank securely into a standard three-jaw drill chuck. Ensure the chuck is tightened firmly to prevent the bit from slipping during operation. Select the appropriate speed setting on your drill based on the wood density and desired hole size.
Compatibility: This drill bit is designed for use with standard power drills equipped with three-jaw chucks. It is compatible with hardwood, softwood, and plastic-coated boards. It is *not* compatible with impact drills or drills with hex shanks.
Care: After each use, clean the bit of wood dust and debris using a brush or dry cloth. Store the bit in a dry environment to prevent rust. Periodically inspect the brad point and cutting edges for wear and sharpen if necessary, although replacement is recommended for significantly dulled bits.
