what is the different application? woodcrafters is having a sale and I am
interested just not sure which to get or get both sets. thanks


Brad point drill bits leave a flat bottomed hole and clean edge at the entry
point. They are particularly good if you want to plug the holes to cover
screw heads or a recess fro Euro hinges. Good do hot out a mortise also. I
use them much more for wood than twist drill. They are useless on metal
though.
