The Dapetz Brad Point Wood Drill Bits are designed for woodworkers, carpenters, and DIY enthusiasts who require high precision when drilling into timber and man-made wood surfaces. The primary benefit is the combination of a sharp center point and twin outer spurs, which provide clean, splinter-free holes and exact placement; however, these bits are strictly intended for wood applications and will be damaged if used on metal or masonry.

No, these are specifically designed for timber and wood-based materials. Using them on metal will instantly ruin the cutting spurs.
These 3mm bits fit any standard drill chuck that can accommodate a 3mm shank diameter.
Yes, these bits perform very well in man-made woods like MDF and plywood due to the cutting spur design.
The center point acts as a built-in guide, so a separate pilot hole is generally unnecessary unless you are working with very hard exotic hardwoods.
This set contains 10 individual 3mm brad point drill bits.
Ensure the drill is rotating at full speed before contacting the wood and apply steady, light pressure to allow the spurs to cut cleanly.
Use a center punch or awl to create a small pilot indentation in the wood so the bit's center point has a positive seat.
These bits are compatible with any standard power drill or drill press using a 3mm capacity chuck. To ensure long-term performance, always drill at a controlled speed to avoid overheating the cutting spurs. After use, clear any wood dust or debris from the flutes using a dry brush. Store these bits in their original packaging or a dedicated drill bit index to prevent the ground tips from contacting other hardened steel tools, which could dull the precision cutting edges.
