Product Description
Milwaukee Brad Point Drill Bit 1/8 in.
Model Number: 48-15-0125
The Milwaukee 48-15-0125 is a 1/8 in. Brad Point Drill Bit — a precision woodworking drill bit for drilling accurately-located, clean-sided holes in wood, hardwood, plywood, MDF, and wood composites where the brad point's centering tip and outer scoring spurs produce hole quality that standard twist bits cannot achieve in wood applications. The brad point tip is a three-element cutting geometry specifically engineered for wood: a sharp center point that establishes the precise drill position at the marked center without walking or drifting on the wood surface before the bit begins to cut, two outer spurs that score the wood grain in a precise circle slightly ahead of the main cutting edges to prevent tear-out at the hole perimeter, and two main cutting edges inside the scored circle that shear the wood fiber cleanly within the perimeter the spurs have established. This geometry produces holes with flat bottoms (relative to a twist bit's conical bottom), smooth cylindrical sidewalls, and chip-free entry and exit faces in wood that twist bits simply cannot achieve.
The 1/8 in. diameter is used for small pilot holes for screws and fasteners, precise layout holes for hardware templates, thin dowel holes, and detail woodworking applications where the small bore diameter requires the brad point's accuracy and clean cut quality. Milwaukee precision-machines the brad point geometry for consistent centering accuracy and clean cutting from the first use through the bit's service life — the sharp center point and spurs must maintain their geometry for the bit to perform correctly, as worn or damaged brad point geometry produces the same walking and tear-out problems that the design is intended to prevent. The 1/8 in. brad point bit is a staple tool for cabinetmakers, furniture makers, and finish carpenters who drill precision pilot holes and hardware mounting holes in finished wood surfaces where entry-face appearance matters.
Milwaukee brad point bits are available across the range of standard woodworking diameters — see Milwaukee's complete drill bit lineup for all available brad point sizes and for specialty woodworking bit options.
