STAR-M has been making woodworking drill bits in Miki City, Japan's historic home of blacksmithing and hardware, since 1923, when founder Motoji Kobayashi began crafting bits in a small workshop. The STAR-M trademark followed in 1940, and the company is still led by the Kobayashi family today. It celebrated 100 years of drill making in 2023.
From the Short Machine bit of 1958 and the Impact Bit series of 1996 to today's Super Clean Cut range, STAR-M manufactures its drill bits, carbide-tipped bits and custom-made drills at its factories in Miki. Japanese carpenters and woodworkers choose them for clean, accurate holes and edges that last, and STAR-M bits are now used around the world, including in the USA under the WoodOwl brand.

Star-M C-Type bits represent a step up in size from their superlative Super Clean Cut range.
These bits are optimised for smooth, clean and efficient cutting in all sorts of timber from softwood to hardwood as well as ply, mdf and engineered LVLs.
The brad point design allows them to be referenced to your desired hole accurately.
The C-type uses the leading point of the flute to sever the fibres at the perimeter of the hole a fraction of a second before the bottom is cut crisply with the sharp cutting edge on the bottom of the bit.
The shank has been machined with a 6.3mm hex flange, allowing it to be used in impact drivers and cordless screw drivers. We prefer using them in a drill with a three jaw chuck to achieve the cleanest possible exit cut, but fast results can be had by installing them in an impact driver.
Use at a speed below 2500rpm.
