Anybody used these bradpoints?

Not a clue about the quality but I’d buy them if I were shopping. Most brad points these days are imported and generally not very good.

The made in USA stamp always loosens my wallet a bit.

Kindly,

I have a few of the Montana brand and it is quality stuff. You get what you pay for. Fuller and Snappy stuff is good also and USA made to boot.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I am going to go back tomorrow and pick them up.

I’ve never bought brad point drills. I grind “cabinetmaker drills”
from standard drills. It’s a handy skill I learned from a James
Krenov book and not hard to do it drills above 1/8”.

Buy them by all means, but be aware there is more than
one way to get clean holes in wood and you can have
any size you want.

Loren,
I did some searching around and the only picture of a “cabinetmaker drill” I could find looked a lot like my Dewalt ‘Pilot Point’ bits. Is that pretty close to what you are referring to?

No. Not really. I guess one has to read Krenov.

These are made just north of us, I have bought several of their tools, and have never been disappointed.

I picked up a set of these bits. Great quality at a great price. A review on my blog…

I picked them up the other day, have only drilled a couple of test holes so far but I am pleased.
