Choose the Correct Fit
Check that a 5/16-inch hole matches the joinery or hardware requirement. Confirm your drill chuck can grip the bit shank securely.
Clamp the workpiece and support the exit face with a sacrificial board. Set the point on the marked hole before starting the drill.
Installation & Care
Use rotary drilling and controlled feed, clearing chips as needed. The depth marks are visual references rather than an automatic stop.
Let the bit cool before handling its cutting end. Clean resin and chips from the flutes and protect the point in storage.

Important Product Questions
Can I drill metal with this bit?
This brad point bit is specified for wood and plywood. Choose a metal-drilling bit for metal work.
Do the depth marks stop the drill?
No. The 1/4-inch marks provide a visual depth reference. Use a suitable depth-control method when a precise blind-hole depth is critical.
How can I reduce breakout?
Clamp a backing board to the exit face and reduce feed near breakthrough. Keep the cutting edges sharp and the workpiece supported.
