The Bosch Standard brad point drill bit (MPN 2608596307, EAN 3165140059138) is a 10 mm diameter spur drill designed for precise and clean drilling in wood. It features a centring tip and shoulder cutter for accurate starts and defined hole edges, with two flutes for efficient chip removal and a black, ground point finish for durability and consistent performance.

Advantages

This brad point drill bit provides precise positioning thanks to its centring tip and produces clean, splinter-free hole edges with the shoulder cutter. The two-flute geometry improves chip evacuation for smoother drilling, while the ground black point enhances wear resistance and repeatable results. Its 10 mm diameter is suitable for common woodworking tasks and standard dowel or fastener preparations.

How to use

Secure the workpiece and mark the drilling position. Install the 10 mm Bosch brad point drill bit in a suitable drill or drill press, ensuring the chuck holds the shank firmly. Start drilling at low speed to allow the centring tip to bite, then increase speed as needed while maintaining steady feed pressure. Clear chips periodically if drilling deep holes to prevent clogging and overheating.

Recommendations

Use appropriate drill speeds for the wood type: lower speeds for hard wood and moderate to higher speeds for soft wood. Apply consistent feed pressure and avoid excessive force to maintain hole quality and extend the bit lifespan. When drilling through finished or veneered surfaces, consider backing the workpiece to minimise exit splintering.
