Brad Point Drill Bit Set 6-Piece

The DeWalt DW1720 set contains six brad-point bits designed for accurate drilling in wood and metal. The brad-point tip reduces walking at the start of the cut, while the precise cutting edges are engineered to minimise splintering. Spiral flutes provide clean and effective chip removal during use. The bits are manufactured from high-speed steel with a black brushed finish.

Sustained drilling performance

The high-speed steel construction maintains cutting geometry during extended drilling sessions in alloy steel and timber. Spiral flutes continuously evacuate chips to prevent clogging and heat buildup when working through deeper holes. The 118-degree cutting angle supports consistent material removal without excessive pressure. Straight shanks transmit torque directly from the chuck without slipping under load.

Upgrade from standard twist bits

This set replaces general-purpose twist bits when hole accuracy and clean entry holes are required. The brad-point design eliminates the need for centre-punching on most materials, saving setup time on repeat jobs. It is not suited for masonry, concrete or large-diameter auger work. Users needing cobalt or carbide tips for abrasive alloys should select a different specification.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the DW1720 generate during all-day drilling?

The HSS brad-point bits run cool because the 118-degree cutting angle and spiral flutes clear chips efficiently, so the shank stays comfortable to touch even after extended use.

What shank style must my drill chuck accept for these bits?

Each bit has a straight shank, so any standard 3-jaw chuck that grips round shanks will hold the DW1720 set securely.

Will the 118-degree point work cleanly in the soft pine I still use for framing?

Yes, the brad-point tip centres itself and the precise cutting edges reduce splintering in softwoods as well as hardwoods and alloy steel.
