The spur cutting edges reduce splintering and ensure a smooth, clean hole. [/blockquote] 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. mike Re: So I've got these drill bits - Stwood_ - 07-03-2016 That clears things up a ....bit...

Re: So I've got these drill bits - blackhat - 07-04-2016 Pound a nail through and pull it out again. If the hole isn't big enough, get some bigger nails. Re: So I've got these drill bits - Redman - 07-04-2016 Ahh, sage advice. Re: So I've got these drill bits - Stwood_ - 07-04-2016 blackhat said: Awesome. Thanks.
