5mm brad point drill bit from True Position is a high speed steel step drill designed for precise boring in woods and plastics. The brad point tip starts exactly where you place it, so holes stay on layout without wandering across finished surfaces. The 5mm cutting diameter matches common hardware boring needs in cabinet and furniture work where consistent sizing keeps fittings aligned. Overall length of 3-3/8 inches gives reach for standard drilling tasks while still handling well in drills or drill presses. A flute length of 2-1/16 inches clears chips efficiently, so the cutting edge stays engaged instead of grinding waste in the hole. This bit is made in the USA from high speed steel, which far outlasts carbon steel or stainless steel in these applications, reducing how often bits are swapped out during repetitive boring runs.
This HSS brad point drill bit is described as ideal for woods and plastics, so it addresses common cabinet shop materials without changing setups. The brad point tip is specified to eliminate surface chipping, which helps when drilling into melamine and veneer faces where clean edges matter for visible panels. Because the web description highlights clean holes in melamines, veneer, and hard woods, the cutting geometry is tuned for those surfaces, supporting better hardware seating in 5mm bores. The jobber-style overall length of 3-3/8 inches with a 2-1/16 inch flute keeps the bit rigid while still clearing chips, which supports straighter holes and reduces heat in typical drill press or handheld drilling operations.
The True Position HSS brad point drill is identified as ideal for melamines and veneer, so it fits work on cabinet doors, sides, and shelving that use laminated or veneered sheet goods. Because the brad point design eliminates surface chipping, entry edges on melamine and veneer faces stay crisp, which matters wherever the hole edge will show around fasteners or fittings. The description also calls out clean holes in hard woods, so this same 5mm brad point drill bit supports solid wood components like face frames or furniture parts that need accurate bores for joinery or hardware. Being suitable for woods and plastics gives flexibility for mixed-material jobs, letting one bit handle tasks ranging from cabinet panels to certain plastic fixtures without changing cutting tools mid-run.
The 5mm brad point drill bit diameter provides a consistent bore size that matches typical hardware dimensions, which supports repeatable fits when drilling multiple parts. With an overall length of 3-3/8 inches, the bit behaves like a jobber length tool, giving enough reach for standard thickness materials while staying stiff enough for accurate, straight holes. The 2-1/16 inch flute length is long enough to carry chips out of the cut, helping maintain clean cutting edges and smoother sidewalls over repeated holes. High speed steel far outlasts carbon steel or stainless steel bits in these described applications, so cutting edges stay sharp over longer runs, which keeps hole size and finish more consistent from the first piece to the last. The brad point geometry centers the bit as it starts, limiting wandering on slick melamine or veneer surfaces and supporting precise spacing for row drilling or hardware layouts.
The 5mm brad point drill bit is described as ideal for woods, plastics, melamines, veneers, and hard woods, so it focuses on typical cabinet and furniture materials.
The brad point design eliminates surface chipping, which keeps entry edges clean on melamine, veneer, and other woods, improving appearance around drilled openings.
The HSS brad point drill has an overall length of 3-3/8 inches and a flute length of 2-1/16 inches, balancing reach, chip removal, and stability.
The high speed steel construction far outlasts carbon steel or stainless steel bits in the described applications, supporting longer service life in repeated drilling.
The drill bit is specifically described for clean holes in melamines and veneers, and its brad point design eliminates surface chipping on those faces.
The 5mm size provides a consistent small-diameter bore suited to typical hardware and joinery dimensions, supporting alignment across cabinet and furniture components.
The True Position 5mm brad point drill bit combines a high speed steel body with a brad point tip to deliver clean holes in melamines, veneers, hard woods, and plastics. With its 3-3/8 inch overall length and 2-1/16 inch flute length, it balances reach, chip clearance, and rigidity for controlled drilling in cabinet and furniture work. For shops needing a 5mm bore that stays accurate and resists surface chipping, this HSS brad point drill offers a focused solution for repetitive boring tasks.
