Each type is designed for a different task. Brad point bits handle accurate pilot holes and dowelling, while auger bits bore deep through joists and studwork. Flat bits make quick, large-diameter holes, and forstner and hinge bits produce flat-bottomed recesses for cabinet and door hardware.

Browse the Bosch Professional selection to match the right bit to the material, hole size and depth you are working with.

Key Features of Bosch Professional Wood Drill Bits

• Brad point centring tip: locates the bit on your mark and stops it wandering, so you don't need to centre punch first.
• Cutting spurs: score the wood fibres at the edge of the hole, giving a cleaner perimeter with less tearout on visible faces.
• Screw-tip auger design: pulls the bit into the timber, so deep holes need less pressure from you.
• Deep flutes: clear chippings from the hole, which helps prevent binding and keeps drilling speed steady.
• Flat-bottomed forstner and hinge bits: cut neat, even recesses for concealed hinges and fixings.
• Plug cutters: produce matching timber plugs to hide screw heads for a seamless finish.
• Rasp drill bits: shape and enlarge holes in wood where a standard bit would leave an edge too tight.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Bosch Professional wood drill bit is best for accurate pilot holes?

Brad point bits are the best choice. The centring tip holds position on your mark and the spurs cut a clean edge, so they suit pilot holes, dowelling and visible joinery.

What should I use for drilling through joists for cables and pipes?

Auger bits are designed for deep holes in structural timber, as the screw tip pulls the bit in and the flutes clear waste. Flat bits are a quicker option for larger, shallower holes in rough work.

How do I cut a recess for a concealed hinge?

Use a forstner or hinge drill bit, which cuts a flat-bottomed recess. Set your depth carefully and test on offcuts first. A drill press gives the most accurate results, but a steady hand drill works well too.

Can these bits be used on MDF, plywood and chipboard?

Yes. Brad point bits are particularly effective on manufactured boards, as the centring tip keeps the bit on line. To reduce tearout, clamp a backing board under the workpiece and drill at a steady speed.
