8 mm Twister Brad and Spur Drill
The M.A. Ford Twister Brad and Spur Drill 20731500 is an 8.00 mm cutting tool designed for clean, accurate holes in wood and similar materials. Its brad point centres the bit instantly while the spur cuts the perimeter fibres to prevent tear-out. This accessory suits woodworkers and tradespeople who need repeatable precision in handheld or stationary drilling applications. It is not intended for metal, masonry or high-speed production lines that demand carbide-tipped tooling.
Behaviour under sustained load
The drill geometry evacuates chips efficiently to reduce heat build-up during continuous drilling. The spur and brad configuration maintains cutting stability so the bit resists wandering even when pressure is applied over multiple holes. Consistent feed rates keep the edges sharp longer than standard twist bits in the same material. The tool carries a California Proposition 65 notice for chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.
Build quality and shank implications
The precision-ground flutes and hardened steel body hold tolerance through repeated use, minimising run-out at the chuck. A standard round shank fits common three-jaw drill chucks and quick-change adapters without slippage. The 8.00 mm diameter matches metric hardware and dowel sizes directly, eliminating the need for bushings or step drilling. This item ships free directly from the manufacturer.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 8.00 mm Twister Brad and Spur Drill generate during prolonged use?
The drill is a passive cutting tool with no motor, so it produces only frictional heat at the workpiece; use cutting fluid and appropriate feed rates to manage temperature.
What shank size must my drill chuck accept to hold the 20731500 bit?
The bit is an 8.00 mm diameter tool; ensure your chuck or collet can securely grip an 8 mm shank before use.
Will the 8.00 mm Twister Brad and Spur Drill work in my older pillar drill?
Yes, provided the pillar drill’s chuck capacity includes 8 mm and the spindle speed can be set for the material you are drilling.
