Tungsten Carbide Brad Point Drill BitⅠ

A tungsten carbide brad point bit is designed for boring into wood. It can provide the cleanest, straightest, and most accurately sized hole in wood of any reasonably priced tool on the market today. The brad in the center of the point allows accurate positioning when starting a hole even if the hole is not 90 degrees from the surface. The flutes — grooves that wrap around the bit and channel away chips and dust — are extra-wide to remove more material.The outlining spurs sheer the wood grain and leave a clean edge around the opening of the hole eliminating the need for sanding. The spurs continue to sheer the wood while drilling and produce an accurately sized hole. In most woods, the spurs also help to produce a cleaner edge when drilling through the backside of the wood.

So generally the tungsten carbide brad point drill bits have following features:
1. Brad point tip provides accurate positioning for starting the hole;
2. Bit is precision ground for use in furniture making, doweling, cabinetry, and other woodworking applications where an exact hole size is required;
3. Spur cutting edges reduce splintering and ensure a smooth, clean hole;
4. Wide flutes provide a fast, continuous flow of chips.
