A brad point bit has a sharp center point (the brad) and two outer scoring spurs. The center point locates the bit exactly on a marked position, and the spurs score the wood perimeter cleanly before the flutes remove material — producing a sharper, more precise hole than a standard twist bit in wood.

NAS 907 is a National Aerospace Standard that defines material qualification requirements for cutting tool steel. Viking Drill and Tool uses steel that meets these specifications, ensuring consistent hardness, composition, and performance from bit to bit across their cutting tool line.

The Viking Norseman 14-piece set covers a range of imperial brad point sizes commonly used in woodworking for dowel joints, hardware pilot holes, and furniture construction. Check the product page for the exact size range included.

Yes. Brad point bits work in both drill presses and handheld drills. A drill press provides the perpendicular entry and controlled feed rate that allows brad point bits to show their full precision advantage, but they can also be used with handheld drills for pilot holes and dowel drilling.

Brad point bits can be resharpened with a fine round file or a specialized drill bit sharpener that accommodates the center spur and outer spurs. The center point and cutting lips must be maintained at their original geometry — irregular sharpening can cause the bit to cut oversized or off-center.

Lower RPM is generally better for larger diameter bits and dense hardwoods — slower speeds reduce heat buildup and burning in the wood. As a general guide, bits above 1/2 diameter in hardwood benefit from drill press speeds in the 500–1,000 RPM range, while smaller bits can run faster.

Yes. Viking Drill and Tool manufactures at a dedicated facility in St. Paul, Minnesota. The company begins production with qualified tool steel and produces each cutting tool through an in-house manufacturing process designed around quality consistency.

High-speed steel drill bits, like those in the Viking Norseman line, are tougher than carbide — they flex slightly rather than snapping under side load — and are easier to resharpen. Carbide-tipped bits stay sharp longer in abrasive materials like MDF and plywood but are more brittle and typically cost more.
