Dewalt DW1702 Brad Point Drill Bit 1/8 Inch

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1702 is a 1/8-inch brad point drill bit designed for clean, accurate entry holes in wood and wood-based materials. The brad point tip centers on the workpiece without wandering, delivering a precise start and a cleaner hole wall compared to standard twist bits. This type of bit is a go-to for carpenters, finish installers, cabinetmakers, and general contractors who need consistent, splinter-free results in solid wood, plywood, and similar substrates. Sold individually, it fits standard keyed and keyless drill chucks compatible with 1/8-inch shank sizes.

This bit is suited for residential and light commercial woodworking applications where hole location accuracy matters. Common install scenarios include cabinetry, furniture assembly, door hardware prep, and trim work. The 1/8-inch diameter is frequently used for pilot holes ahead of finish nails, small fasteners, and wire routing through wood framing or millwork components.

Installation Notes

Brad point bits are installed and removed by a licensed carpenter or general tradesperson using a standard keyed or keyless chuck. Always ensure the drill is powered off and unplugged, or the battery pack removed, before changing bits. Use appropriate drill speed settings for the wood species and material thickness to avoid bit deflection or heat buildup. Do not use this bit on metal, masonry, or tile.
