Product Description
Milwaukee 3/8 in. Brad Point Drill Bit
Model Number: 48-15-0375
The Milwaukee 48-15-0375 is a 3/8 in. Brad Point Drill Bit — a precision woodworking drill bit for drilling clean, accurately located holes in wood, hardwood, plywood, MDF, and wood composites for dowel joints, hardware installation, shelf pins, and the broad range of woodworking applications where the 3/8 in. bore is specified. The 3/8 in. is one of the most commonly used brad point bit sizes in cabinetmaking and furniture building — appearing in standard European-format shelf pin holes, 3/8 in. woodworking dowel joint systems, specific hinge hardware mounting holes, and the wide range of woodworking hardware that specifies 3/8 in. flat-bottom entry-hole installation. The brad point geometry uses a sharp center point that registers the bit at the exact marked hole location without walking, outer spurs that score the wood surface perimeter ahead of the main cutting face to prevent tear-out and splintering at the entry face, and the main cutting face that shears wood fiber cleanly within the scored circle for accurate, clean holes.
Milwaukee manufactures brad point bits to professional woodworking quality standards for the dimensional accuracy and sustained sharpness that production cabinetry and furniture work requires through many holes per shift in hardwood, plywood, and MDF. The clean entry face and flat-bottom hole geometry that the brad point produces is specifically important for hardware that requires precise positioning — shelf pin sleeves, European hinge pilot holes, and dowel joints where the hardware's alignment tolerance requires the accurate hole placement and clean entry face that brad points provide. Available across the full range of standard woodworking diameters.
