Product Description
Milwaukee 7/16 in. Brad Point Drill Bit
Model Number: 48-15-0437
The Milwaukee 48-15-0437 is a 7/16 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, and precision cabinetry work. The brad point geometry uses three distinct cutting elements that work together for superior hole quality in wood compared to standard twist drill bits — a sharp center point that registers the bit at the exact marked hole location without the bit wandering across the grain before cutting begins, outer spurs that score the wood's surface perimeter ahead of the main cutting face to prevent surface tear-out and splintering at the hole entry, and the main cutting face that shears wood fiber cleanly within the scored circle. This three-element geometry produces the clean entry face, cylindrical sidewalls, and accurate hole location that hardware-specified woodworking requires.
At 7/16 in. diameter, the brad point bit is used for medium-size woodworking hardware holes, specific cabinetry dowel joints, and installations where the 7/16 in. bore is specified for the hardware, dowel, or fitting being installed in wood. The 7/16 in. brad point is a common size in furniture building and cabinetmaking for medium-diameter dowel joints, shelf hardware, and the range of woodworking applications where this intermediate bore size between the common 3/8 in. and 1/2 in. sizes is specified. Milwaukee manufactures brad point bits to professional woodworking quality standards for the dimensional accuracy and sustained sharpness that production cabinetry and furniture work demands through many holes per shift.
