Milwaukee 48-15-0312 Brad Point Drill Bit 5/16 Inches

Product Description

The Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp 48-15-0312 is a 5/16-inch brad point drill bit designed for clean, accurate entry holes in wood and wood-composite materials. Brad point bits feature a center spur that registers the bit precisely on the workpiece before the flutes engage, reducing wander and producing cleaner entry holes than standard twist bits. This bit is a single-piece unit sold in a package of 195 and is suited for carpenters, finish woodworkers, cabinet installers, and general contractors who need consistent, repeatable hole placement in production or field conditions.

The 48-15-0312 is appropriate for residential and light commercial woodworking applications, including cabinetry, furniture assembly, door hardware installation, and rough framing pilot holes. The 5/16-inch diameter is a common size for dowel joinery, shelf pin holes, and bolt-clearance drilling. At a package quantity of 195, this SKU is well suited for shop stock, tool-crib inventory, or high-volume drilling operations where bit wear is expected and replacement availability matters.

Key Features

• 5/16-inch diameter brad point geometry reduces bit wander on wood surfaces
• Center spur registers accurately before flutes cut, producing cleaner entry holes
• Package quantity of 195 supports high-volume or production drilling environments
• Single-unit (EA) packaging allows flexible inventory management

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Brad point bits are installed and removed by hand-tightening a keyed or keyless chuck on a corded or cordless drill driver. Always ensure the bit is fully seated and the chuck is secured before operation. Use appropriate eye protection and secure the workpiece before drilling. These bits are intended for wood and wood-composite materials only and should not be used on metal or masonry.
