Fisch Brad Point Drill Bits (12mm x 151mm) - Premium Drill Bits for Soft, Hard, Veneered and Laminated Wood, MDF and Acrylic Glass - Beveled Edge for Fast, Easy Cutting - FSF-004127 - Made in Austria

I'm a landlord remodeling a house and needed to install t-bar pulls on the new cabinets. After years of marking all the holes by hand or making custom jigs out of scrap wood, I finally decided to try buying an adjustable hardware jig. Most of these jigs are designed to use 5mm bits, so I ordered this brad point bit to use with it. I don't need a bunch of metric brad point bits, so being able to purchase a single low-cost high-quality bit to keep with the jig was perfect for me.The bit performed well for the 60 or so holes I had to drill, most in maple and a few in MDF. The bit was straight with a sharp brad point that made it easy to precisely mark the location of the hole using the jig. Holes were clean and round, with no tear out so long as a backer board was used.The bit I received is NOT made in Austria as the listing title currently displays and is not stamped with the Fisch logo. Th packaging is branded as Fisch, being made in China based on their design and specifications. The listing should be corrected, but at my time of purchase this bit was less than $3 with Prime next day shipping. I expected as much. It worked well and the bit that came with my jig was a joke so I am a happy customer.

These are great. After borrowing one from a coworker I picked up a couple for drilling shelf pins and drawer slides. These are perfect for anything using a 5mm Euro screw. Sharp, no runout, nice little storage/protector tube, centered brad point. Good price, great function. I'll be back for more in the future.

Sharpness:This is a very good product

Fisch bits are my go to for drilling pen blanks. They are sharp, do not wobble, and give consistent repeatable results. I own several of these bits in varying sizes and they have never let me down. I've tried other cheaper bits, but none are as consistent as these.

Hard to tell if it was a true Fisch bit or not, it did not say Fisch on the bit, CV 5.0 was engraved on the bit meaning Chrome Vanadium 5.0mm.Either way the bit worked great for what I needed. Cut nice holes into the Maple plywood for shelf pins. Thinking of getting a 1/4" version for my bigger sized pins.

I needed some metric drill bits. Fisch is good quality.

Use this to drill pen blanks. Quickly drills straight, accurate and clean holes.

I bought this for 5mm shelf pin installations to use up the remaining 5mm shelf pins I had on hand. Worked great as the bit is a nice sharp brad point and is 5mm for snug shelf pin applications.I’d like to believe that it is a Fisch brand bit since the packaging has the Fisch name and logo with a Fisch item number on the back of the label sticker. The bit itself is not marked Fisch, but I can’t see Fisch allowing their name to be used without consent.I’d buy again and recommend this 5mm bit.
