Pilot Point drill bit sized for 13/32 inch intended for drilling wood, metal, and plastic. The tip is shaped to engage on contact to reduce walking and improve hole accuracy. The shank is designed to resist spinning in the chuck and the tapered web increases resistance to breakage.
Project Ideas
Business
Heavy-duty pegboard panels
Produce and sell wall panels drilled with a precise 13/32 in grid, designed for 3/8 in hardwood or aluminum pegs. Offer custom sizes/finishes for garages, retail displays, or kitchens. The bit’s anti-walk tip speeds batch drilling in wood and thin metal faceplates.
Custom metal brackets and joinery
Fabricate brackets, gussets, and connector plates with 13/32 in clearance holes for 3/8 in bolts—common in furniture, pergolas, gates, and trailers. Market small-run, made-to-measure hardware; the bit’s accuracy reduces rework and keeps holes concentric.
Camera and lighting ‘cheese’ plates
CNC is optional—start with drill jigs and this bit to produce aluminum plates with arrays of 13/32 in holes for 3/8-16 film/photography accessories. Sell as modular rigging components to indie filmmakers and content creators.
Modular garden trellis kits
Offer kits with pre-drilled cedar posts (13/32 in) and 3/8 in rods that customers assemble into custom trellises. The precise holes ensure square, rattle-free assemblies and quick builds; upsell finishes and replacement rods.
On-site bolt-and-repair service
Provide mobile drilling and re-bolting for farm gates, fences, benches, and utility trailers using 3/8 in hardware. The pilot point helps drill true on curved or worn metal without center-punching, speeding repairs and retrofits.
Creative
Steel-and-wood shelf brackets
Cut angle iron or flat bar to length and drill 13/32 in clearance holes for 3/8 in bolts to join metal brackets to hardwood shelves. The Pilot Point tip prevents walking on metal so the holes line up cleanly, and the no-spin shank keeps the bit secure for repeatable pairs.
Adjustable dowel-peg organizer
Lay out a grid and drill 13/32 in holes in a hardwood panel to accept 3/8 in hardwood dowels as movable pegs for coats, tools, or kitchenware. The slight clearance makes pegs easy to insert/remove, and the tapered web resists breakage when drilling deep in dense wood.
Garden trellis with rod lattice
Drill clean 13/32 in through-holes in cedar posts to pass 3/8 in fiberglass or stainless rods. The pilot point keeps holes straight on rounded or knotty grain, creating a modern, modular trellis for climbing plants.
Perforated brass pendant lamp
Create a starburst or geometric pattern of 13/32 in holes in thin brass or aluminum sheet for a pendant shade. The Pilot Point starts on contact to avoid skating and burrs on thin metal, giving crisp, repeatable perforations for dramatic light spill.
Camera rig/overhead boom plates
Make aluminum mounting plates with 13/32 in clearance holes for 3/8-16 camera hardware. The accurate start helps maintain straight rows and spacing, perfect for DIY ‘cheese plates’ and boom arm joints.
