Thread: 9/16" brad point drill bit

Carba-tec have 9/16" Forstner bits which might do the job for you.

Hmm... I saw those, but I'd prefer a brad point. Thanks anyway WB!

have you checked Miter10

I'm pretty sure M10 and Bunnies only stock up to 1/2", but I will double check, thanks.

these guys have one listed in a 3 pc set. They are on the slightly loooong side though(25"). Might be a lead.

Tampico - Tools, Machinery & Equipment

this one > WDR052 - Wood drills - 3p x 25" long - 1/2" to 5/8" - brad point

Cheers
Michael

Thanks! I've emailed them for a price.

Alternatively regrind a normal 9/16 twist drill to brad point.

If interested I have an old WW mag article on the procedure, which I could scan for you if needed, assuming I can find it in my tip of a shed

regards

Thanks Alastair, that was going to be my last resort. I have several twist bits already ground with extra long points especially for chairmaking - just not a 9/16" bit. However, the link above, posted by mic-d, proved fruitful, even though they are currently out of the three-piece set mentioned above. I bought several useful sizes for less than I could find a 9/16" Sutton bit for in M10 and Bunny's. So all's good.

Thanks for all the assistance and suggestions men!
