31/64-inch pilot point drill bit intended for drilling in wood, metal, and plastic. The pilot point tip helps start holes accurately and reduce walking. The shank is designed to resist spinning in the chuck, and the tapered web increases resistance to breakage.
Project Ideas
Business
On‑site standoff and signage drilling service
Offer a mobile service to drill clean, accurately placed 31/64-inch holes for acrylic signs, standoffs, and architectural panels in wood, metal, or plastic. The pilot point reduces walking so you can hit layout marks without a drill press, speeding installs for contractors and storefronts.
Threaded‑rod shelving kits
Produce and sell ready-to-assemble industrial shelving kits. Pre-drill boards with 31/64-inch holes to fit M10 rods and include hardware and setup instructions. Market to apartments, studios, and retail displays; the precise holes make assembly easy and wobble-free.
Pergola/railing retrofit bolt‑through upgrades
Specialize in reinforcing existing decks, pergolas, or railings by converting lag screws to through-bolted M10 or 7/16-inch hardware. The 31/64-inch bit provides correct clearance; accurate, non-wandering starts let you drill from both sides to meet cleanly, reducing tear-out and callbacks.
Acrylic fabrication for local businesses
Cut and drill acrylic panels for menu boards, sneeze guards, and product displays. 31/64-inch holes accommodate common standoff and grommet sizes; the pilot point delivers clean, centered holes that look professional without crazing, minimizing scrap and rework.
M10/7⁄16 drilling template kits
Design and sell reusable drilling templates for furniture makers and DIYers. Include guides for bolt patterns, cross-dowels, and bracket layouts with 31/64-inch bushings/marks. Bundle the drill bit and instructions so customers can consistently achieve pro-level results with standard hand drills.
Creative
Industrial threaded-rod bookshelf
Build a minimalist shelf unit using M10 threaded rods as uprights and hardwood shelves. Drill 31/64-inch pass-through holes at the corners of each shelf so they slide cleanly over the M10 rods (12 mm normal clearance). The pilot point helps start accurately on finished wood without wandering, and the jobber length gives enough reach for stacked shelves or thicker timbers.
Knock‑down trestle table/bench
Create a portable trestle table or bench that assembles with M10 or 7/16-inch bolts. Use the 31/64-inch bit for precise clearance holes through legs and stretchers, pairing with cross dowels or barrel nuts. The pilot point keeps holes aligned across multiple laminated parts and the tapered web handles repetitive drilling in hardwood and steel brackets.
Floating acrylic house numbers sign
Make a modern address plaque from an acrylic front plate and a wood/aluminum backer. Drill 31/64-inch holes in the acrylic and backer to mount 12 mm or 1/2-inch standoffs or grommets. The pilot point cuts cleanly in plastic to minimize cracking and reduces walking on metal backers so holes line up perfectly.
Bird‑feeder totem with threaded rod
Stack metal bowls, lids, and wood disks on a central M10 threaded rod to form a sculptural bird feeder or garden totem. The 31/64-inch bit makes smooth through-holes in mixed materials (wood/metal/plastic) so pieces slide and align easily; the no‑spin shank helps during long, continuous drilling sessions.
Garden pergola bolt‑up brackets
Cut steel angle or flat bar to form DIY pergola/post brackets and drill 31/64-inch holes for 7/16-inch bolt clearance. The pilot point lets you start clean on steel without a center punch and the tapered web resists breakage when breaking through, while matching holes through the wood posts stay true.
