Overview
These HSS standard brad point bits are ideal for doweling and other precision hole boring in softwood, hardwood and plywood. You'll get a clean cut without tear-out! All bits are precision-ground high speed steel (HSS). With angled cutting spurs that cut quickly and produce a clean, precise diameter hole. Also available in metric sizes (sold separately).
Features:
- Precision-ground High Speed Steel keeps sharp edges longer, resisting wear and overheating
- Center brad point provides exact, instant centering and guides the bit through the cut
- Angled cutting spurs cut quickly and produce clean, precise diameter holes in any type of wood.
- Side cutting edges have relieved backs to reduce friction and produce smooth side-walls
- Wide, smooth flutes give quick ejecting of wood chips

Need a 1/2" Brad Drill Bit for 1.6mm galvanised steel. Do you have any, or do you know where to obtain some? Everything seems to be for wood. Made my own last time, but would like to buy instead.
BEST ANSWER: I have never heard of a Brad Point but to drill steel, only standard twist bits. Brad Point bits are designed for drilling into wood only, not only the design of the tip, but the extra large flutes to clear chips and debris. If they do exist, I would love to see them!

Nice bit
Brad point bits are the go to when you need a clean entry (no tearing at surface) to the hole you are drilling. Drilled about 50 ea.1/2 deep holes in maple with no appearant wear to the bit. Would recommend.

These are great bits. They don't walk on the material when drilling. BradPoint stays on the mark.

Clean hole
Never used a Brad point bit before. Very pleased with it.
Nice flat bottom hole for a 1/2" dowel joint for outdoor bench.
Did a nice job of pulling the trash out of hole as it drilled.
