Carbitool 9.0mm TCT Brad Point Drill Bit
Part No: TBP9M | Barcode: 9314350022348 | Series: TBP Carbide Tipped Brad Point
The Carbitool TBP9M is a 9.0mm tungsten carbide tipped brad point drill for woodworking. The sharp central spur locks the bit on the marked centre, while the carbide-tipped side cutters slice the rim cleanly before the flutes evacuate the chip — essential for dowel holes that need to come out exactly to size, not slightly oversized.

Key Features & Benefits
- Tungsten carbide tip with side spurs — the spurs score the timber fibres just outside the cut path so the rim of the hole is clean rather than torn. Critical for face-bored dowel holes that must close flush.
- Central brad point — the sharp pin locates dead-on the centre mark and prevents the bit from skating. Worth the extra cost over a twist drill any time placement matters.
- TCT cutting edges — carbide stays sharp through abrasive species like Australian hardwoods, MDF dust, and laminate adhesives that destroy plain HSS bits.
- Precise drilled diameter — brad points cut to size, not 0.1–0.3mm oversized like worn HSS twist drills, so dowels and dowelling pegs press in with the correct interference fit.
- Round shank — fits any 3-jaw chuck on cordless drills, drill presses, or pillar drill press.
- Australian made by Carbitool — built to a higher tolerance than imported brad points, with carbide grade matched to Australian hardwoods.
When to Use This Drill
The Carbitool TBP9M (9.0mm) is the right choice for any woodworking hole where appearance, accuracy, or fit matters: dowel joinery, face-frame cabinet construction, shelf-pin holes, and through-bored mortise references. For hogging out rough timber where edge finish doesn’t matter, a standard HSS twist drill is fine. For end grain, slow the speed down slightly.
Pro Tip: Set the drill press depth-stop and clamp scrap underneath: brad points exit cleanly on the bottom face if there’s solid material backing the cut, but they tear out badly when drilling into thin air. The combination of brad point centring + scrap backer is what gives furniture-grade dowel holes.
