12.7 mm Brad Point Wood Bit

The Century Drill & Tool 37314 is a brad point drill bit sized at 12.7 mm for precise wood boring. It is made from heat-treated high-speed steel to extend service life in furniture making, cabinetry and dowelling tasks. The self-centering tip produces accurate, clean holes without wandering. The bit suits hand drills, electric drills, drill presses and lathes.

Installation and common issues

Chuck the reduced shank securely in any standard drill or press; the self-centering point engages wood immediately without a pilot hole. Over-speeding or excessive feed pressure can burn the cutting lips and dull the high-speed steel prematurely. Clearing chips frequently prevents binding and maintains hole quality in deep cuts. The bit is not designed for metal, masonry or plastics.

Compatibility check

Verify that your drill or press accepts a reduced-shank bit of this diameter before ordering. Confirm the workpiece is wood, as the geometry is optimised for timber only. Ensure the chuck capacity accommodates the shank size supplied. Buyers who need a different diameter or a bit for non-wood materials should select an alternative product.
