Elevate your Woodworking with W L Fuller's Brad Point Drills

Updated: Mar 5




Greetings, fellow woodworking aficionados!


At W L Fuller, we are continually inspired by the craft of woodworking - a fascinating fusion of precision, creativity, and inherent beauty. Our journey involves an unending exploration for tools that not only perform but excel. It's within this quest that we introduce our High-Speed Steel (HSS) Brad Point Drills, hand-bradded for the discerning woodworker who intertwines accuracy with craftsmanship.


The Artistry of Hand-Brad Pointing

Rather than go with the impersonal, machine-made norm of the industry today, we've chosen to stick to the roots and hand-brad our drill bits. Each bit is sharpened by hand, delivering an extremely sharp brad point that cannot be matched by machines. This personal touch may seem like a nod to yesteryears, but believe us when we say, it's what sets our bits apart.


What benefits does this hand-crafted sharpness bring to you, the woodworker? It provides a cleaner, more accurate start to each drill, significantly reducing the 'walking' or slipping across your chosen wood. Our hand-bradded bits give you more control, leading to fewer errors, less wasted material, and a superior finished product.


High-Speed Steel: Your Trusty Woodworking Companion

When it comes to the material of the drill bits, High-Speed Steel (HSS) is our top pick. Its heat resistance and ability to withstand high cutting speeds make it a great ally when dealing with a range of woods - soft, hard, and everything in between.


Our HSS Brad Point Drills slice through wood seamlessly, delivering a drilling experience that is both effortless and gratifying. Plus, the durability of HSS means our drill bits retain their sharpness for extended periods, offering excellent value for your money and reducing the frequency of replacements.


Customizable to Your Needs

But it doesn't end there. We understand that every project is unique, just like every woodworker. And that's why, on request, we're more than willing to modify our drill bits to better serve your needs.


For those working with softer woods, we can round the spurs to prevent splintering and ensure a smooth finish. And for projects requiring angle boring, we can extend the brad point to improve control and accuracy. It’s all part of our commitment to making sure our tools work for you, not the other way around.


We haven't forgotten those of you who often work with end grain. Woodworking end grain can be tricky, especially when you want a clean hole without any tear-out and you want the drill to follow through the wood instead of chasing the grain. To tackle this, we can modify our drill bits by completely removing the spurs. This prevents the spurs from severing the wood fibers prematurely, leading to cleaner, more precise holes when working with end grain.


Why W L Fuller's HSS Brad Point Drills Should Be Your Go-To Choice

The soul of woodworking lies in precision and quality, and our hand-bradded HSS Brad Point Drills encapsulate these values. Sharp, durable, and customizable, they offer clean, straight, and accurate holes every time.


Every bit we create isn’t just a tool; it’s a manifestation of our commitment to aiding you in your woodworking journey. At W L Fuller, we don’t merely sell tools, we foster partnerships in creativity.


In conclusion, if your woodworking refuses to settle for anything less than top-notch quality and precision, our customizable HSS Brad Point Drills are for you. They are more than tools; they are the fine strokes in your masterpiece, created with meticulous care, precision, and a deep-rooted passion for woodworking.


Raise the bar in your woodworking endeavors with W L Fuller's adaptable hand-bradded HSS Brad Point Drills. Because in a world that's relentlessly pursuing automation, a touch of handcrafted perfection can make all the difference.


Until next time, keep carving, keep creating, and above all, keep in love with woodworking.


W L Fuller, where craftsmanship finds its true companion.
