Bosch Brad Point Wood Drill Bit - 3mm

The brad point acts as a centering guide, allowing for precise placement of the hole and preventing the drill bit from wandering.

This drill bit is designed for both hard and soft woods.

Clean the bit after each use and store it in a dry place. You can sharpen the bit if it becomes dull, though replacing the bit is recommended.

Brad point drill bits have a central point and cutting spurs that produce cleaner holes with less tear-out in wood compared to twist drill bits.

Start with a slower speed, especially for hardwoods, and adjust as needed. The optimal speed depends on the wood type and the drill bit diameter.

No, this drill bit is designed for use only in wood. Using it on metal can damage the bit and potentially be dangerous.

Use a backing piece of wood behind your workpiece, especially when drilling through thin materials or exiting a hole. Make sure the bit is sharp and choose the correct drilling speed.

Check that you are using the correct drilling speed for the wood type and bit size. Ensure the bit is sharp and in good condition.

Ensure the brad point is centered on your marked location. Use a punch to create a small indentation if needed to guide the bit. Check the drill's speed settings and lower if necessary.

Apply less pressure and pull the bit out frequently to clear debris. Make sure the flutes are clear of wood chips.
