If you are serious about a good set of brad poing pits, "Colt" Twinland
"5
STAR" brad point bits. The larger sizes used in a DP do not need a

Pricey but these actually come sharp to start with and are made of HSS.

Colt makes a less expensive bit but the "5 Star" bits are the best.

I have several and love them!

That was quite informative about the topic. Thank you for posting.

Woodcraft sells them and one at a time, buy "one" that you would use the
most, for me it is the 3/8" bit. That bit will not blow your budget and
will prove to you why they are the best. If you think you would like a set
you can go that route afterward.
