Product Description
Milwaukee 1/2 in. Brad Point Drill Bit
Model Number: 48-15-0500
The Milwaukee 48-15-0500 is a 1/2 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 1/2 in. bore is specified. The 1/2 in. brad point bit is one of the most commonly used woodworking boring sizes — appearing in standard shelf pin holes at this size, 1/2 in. woodworking dowel joint systems, specific European cabinet hinge hardware pilot holes, and the wide range of woodworking hardware that specifies 1/2 in. flat-bottom hole installation for furniture and cabinetry work. The brad point geometry provides three-element cutting precision — a sharp center point that registers the bit without walking, outer spurs that score the wood perimeter before the main cut to prevent surface tear-out, and the main cutting face that shears 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 1/2 in. bore is particularly important for precision hardware installation — the clean entry face and accurate hole location that the brad point produces ensures that hardware like shelf supports, dowel joints, and cabinet connectors at this bore size seat correctly and align properly for the finished cabinetry or furniture unit.
