That brad point is just what you need for drilling metal. That being because metal is hard compared to wood and the drill doesn't easily bite into the metal so "skating" is an issue but with wood the drill bit can be pressed into the wood so that it doesn't "skate".




Brad Point Drill Bits are not for drilling metal but primarily used for wood. The spur cutting edges reduce splintering and ensure a smooth, clean hole.

I think he meant bullet bits.Vermont American and others make these drills for metal. Similar to a brad point except instead of spurs ,they have 60° angled lips .Not positive of the angle though ,same as machine drills.I think brad points have 82° angles plus the spur point.

That clears things up a ....bit...

Yes, a bit, but which bit?


Re: So I've got these drill bits - Stwood_ - 07-04-2016

Well...

Pound a nail through and pull it out again. If the hole isn't big enough, get some bigger nails.

Ahh, sage advice.

Awesome. Thanks. I have some bridge planking nails about the size I need.

Make sure you use a suitably sized hammer.


Re: So I've got these drill bits - Stwood_ - 07-05-2016

5-10 pounder?
