Questions & Answers

Can this be used with a drill that is not a DeWalt? Having trouble with your drill? (Got a Black and Decker)?

Unlike DEWALT drills, it would not only be applicable to them.

Approximately how long is the piece as a whole?

I'm here. For the DW1714 BradPoint drill bit for wood, these are its measurements ** Diameter 1/2 ** Length 4 1/2 ** Full 6 1/2 In.

Do you want to drill out a half inch ?

There is no need to worry about drilling a flat-centered hole Please drill a 1/2" pilot hole along the bottom of the hole if you do not already have one. I replaced the joints on my old dining room furniture by drilling 3/8" deep holes with the Dewalt brad point. I then glued 4-inch strips of wood to the joints for further reinforcement. A quarter-inch SPAX screw (Home Depot) was used to secure the flaps, and 1/2-inch dowel plugs were used to close up the holes.

This is a defective page
3/5

Running out of time too often. When a drill press was turned on for the first time, you could see the tip wobble when the motor was After this bit engaged with the workpiece, the drill press began to shake. It displayed about on the dial indicator I placed on it. Near the cutting edge, there is a radial runout of 30 mm. It is also possible that the sharp tip is angled in some way, which would increase the risk of injury. I have immediately returned it because it was clearly defective. I bought the Bosch equivalent and it runs right like a charm, with no.

It does what it is advertised to do
4/5

Even though I don't know anything about woodworking, I am replacing the deck's flat surface The corner points of a deck board notch (rounding the support columns) could be done with this method to give a rounded edge, as seen in a You Tube video. Therefore, I decided what the heck, I'll do it that way. I thought that would be neater and easier for me to do this, so I I am pleased with how it works (at first I was intimidated by how it looked). While I'm not a power user, it works as described, and it seems near indestructible to me (didn't break, and I have it for next spring when I complete the remaining 1/4 of the The purchase was a good one.

This bit has a very strong edge that can withstand heavy use in cement backerboard
5/5

I ruined my standard 1/2 inch drill bit during installation of the bit. Drilling hardie backerboard (I don't care what they say, those backerboards are frickin' difficult to drill Most drills stand up to the task of countersinking screws on their own). This is why I bought a few so I'd have enough to finish my project and one left over to replace the worn out It seems like the version with the brad point is far more durable than the standard bit that comes with With this drill, I have probably drilled twice as many holes as I had with the original one, and there are no signs of deterioration yet. My favorite brand and style will definitely be getting this again whenever I don't have any In the future, I will have to do more wood drilling.

Is designed to do what it is intended A great bit for drilling holes in wood or acrylic with a 3/8" diameter
5/5

One or two of them should be in the possession of everyone.

That's not bad at all
4/5

My search for a 1/2 wood drill bit lead me to the Dewalt brad point, which works fine. I think it needs to be sharpened in some places and it is a decent finish. There is rust on the bit, so you must apply oil.

I give this a 3 out of 5
3/5

There is nothing particularly special about it. It works fine, but it doesn't feel well made. Not enough sharpening was done to the cutting edge. Added an edit As a result of keeping it in a box, it started to rust after some time, so it needs to be.

As sharp as a razor
5/5

To start, the drill bit is pinpoint accurate. The drill bit is quality.

The hole diameter is accurate, but the point is wobbly
4/5

During the entry of the point, there is a lot of wobble. The first hole has been completed accurately.
