Those were the ones I bought. They didn't work. Useless.

I thought you got wilko.

I doubt Poundshop would sell *brad point* 8mm drills. Twist drills,
possibly.

They have sets of brad point aka dowel bits, twist and masonry. For 99p you get about 8 of them. Do inspect the points as I've seen junk ones sometimes.

Time to speak to a few carpenters, cabinet
makers I reckon. See what they recommend.

Cheapo bits are mostly fine, but not always. I dont mind, I regrind any dud.

Of course, there's always
flat bits intead... hmm.

The worst performers of all. For the best performance in wood I use steep angle twist drills. They make dowel bits look crap.
