Drill bit DeWalt DT4506 Brad point drill bit, 100 mm length, 1 pc

DeWalt DT4506 Brad point drill bit is a precision wood-drilling accessory with a 100 mm overall length supplied as a single piece. The brad point tip centres accurately on plywood and natural hard and softwood, reducing wandering and producing clean edges. Designed for through-holes and dowel holes, this chrome‑vanadium alloy bit features a centring point, two shoulders and peripheral cutting edges to deliver controlled, accurate drilling in furniture, joinery and general carpentry work.

Advantages

The brad point tip provides accurate centring and minimises sideways movement when starting a hole, ensuring clean entry and exit edges. Chrome‑vanadium alloy construction offers strength and wear resistance for repeated use in wood materials. Two shoulders and peripheral cutting edges improve chip removal and lead to smoother holes with reduced tear‑out. The 100 mm length gives sufficient reach for standard woodworking tasks while maintaining rigidity for precise drilling.

Suitable for

• Drilling in plywood
• Drilling in natural hard and softwood
• Making dowel holes
• Drilling clean through‑holes for joinery and furniture assembly
• General carpentry and woodworking projects requiring accurate hole positioning

Key specifications

• Type: Brad point (centred) drill bit for wood
• Length: 100 mm overall length
• Material: Chrome‑vanadium alloy
• Tip design: Centering brad point with two shoulders
• Cutting edges: Peripheral cutting edges for clean holes
• Supply: Single piece per pack

How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Position the brad point at the marked drilling location and start the drill at low speed to ensure the centring tip engages without slipping. Increase speed as needed while applying steady, even pressure. For through‑holes, support the workpiece underneath if possible to reduce tear‑out on exit. Withdraw the bit periodically during deep holes to clear chips and maintain cutting performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the drill bit primarily for plywood and natural woods; match drill speed and feed to the wood type (lower speeds for hardwoods). Keep the bit sharp and clean of resin build‑up to maintain cutting quality. When drilling dowel holes, use a drill guide or jig for repeatable positioning and perpendicular holes.
