Brad Point Drill Bits

Brad point bits have a pointed center tip that anchors precisely on a layout mark before cutting begins, eliminating the walking common with twist bits on wood. Their outer spur cutters score the hole perimeter cleanly, producing tear-out-free entry holes that twist bits typically cannot match in wood.

Use a sacrificial backer board clamped behind the plywood to support the exit face as the bit breaks through. The spur design of a brad point bit minimizes tear-out significantly compared to a twist bit, but backing the cut is still best practice for finish-grade plywood faces.
