Description
Precision wood drilling with a premium edge. The Proxxon HSS brad point drill set combines the clean-entry accuracy of brad point tips with a titanium nitride (TiN) coating that reduces friction and significantly extends bit life compared to uncoated HSS. Six sizes from 1/16" to 5/32" (1.5–4.0mm) cover the most common small-diameter drilling needs in wood, MDF, and similar materials.

Brad Point vs. Standard Twist Drill — What's the Difference?
A brad point drill has a sharp center spur that locates precisely on the workpiece before the cutting edges engage — preventing the bit from wandering on entry. This makes brad point drills the preferred choice for wood, MDF, and similar materials where hole placement accuracy matters. Standard twist drills are more versatile across materials but can walk on smooth surfaces without a center punch.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are these best for?
Brad point drills are optimized for wood, MDF, plywood, and similar fibrous materials. The center spur produces a clean entry hole without tear-out. For metal drilling, use the standard HSS twist drill set (No. 28874) instead.
What does TiN coating do?
Titanium nitride (TiN) is a hard ceramic coating applied to the HSS substrate. It reduces friction between the bit and workpiece, dissipates heat more effectively, and significantly extends bit life — particularly useful when drilling hardwoods or running at higher RPM.
What rotary tools are these compatible with?
These drills are compatible with any Micromot tool that accepts the appropriate collet size, including the IBS/E and IBS/A. For precise vertical drilling, pair with the MB 200 Drill Stand.
