Dewalt DW1704 Brad Point Drill Bit 3/16 Inches

Product Description

The DEWALT DW1704 is a 3/16-inch brad point drill bit designed for clean, accurate drilling in wood and wood-composite materials. Brad point bits feature a center spur that self-locates on the workpiece surface, reducing wander at the start of the cut and producing a cleaner entry hole compared to a standard twist bit. Sold individually, the DW1704 suits applications where hole precision and edge quality matter, such as dowel joinery, shelf-pin drilling, and finish carpentry. This bit is a standard tool for carpenters, cabinet installers, and general contractors working with wood substrates on residential and light commercial projects.

The DW1704 is suited for use in portable drill/drivers and drill presses. Its 3/16-inch diameter fits common chuck sizes found on both corded and cordless tools. Typical applications include through-hole and blind-hole drilling in hardwood, softwood, plywood, MDF, and similar materials. It is sold as a single unit, making it a practical choice for replacement or addition to an existing bit set.

• 3/16-inch diameter for standard dowel and shelf-pin applications

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by carpenters, cabinet installers, and general tradespeople using standard drill equipment. Secure the bit firmly in the chuck before operation and verify chuck key removal prior to powering the tool. Use appropriate workpiece clamping or backing material to minimize tearout on exit holes. Follow tool manufacturer guidelines and applicable jobsite safety protocols when operating drilling equipment.
