FAQ – Drill Bits

How do I choose the right drill bit for my material?

The correct drill bit depends on the material being drilled. Masonry bits are designed for brick and concrete, HSS drill bits are suitable for metal, and lip and spur or auger bits are commonly used for wood. Using the correct bit helps ensure cleaner holes, reduced wear and improved safety.

What is the difference between HSS and masonry drill bits?

HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits are designed for drilling into metal, plastic and some wood applications. Masonry drill bits feature a hardened carbide tip and are specifically engineered for brick, stone and concrete. Using the wrong type may result in poor performance or damage.

Can I use the same drill bit for wood, metal and masonry?

While some drill bits can handle multiple materials, it is generally recommended to use a bit specifically designed for the material being drilled. This ensures cleaner results, improved durability and reduced risk of overheating or breakage.

When should I use a holesaw or multi-step drill bit?

Holesaws are ideal for cutting larger diameter holes in wood, plastic or metal, while cone or multi-step drill bits are suitable for gradually enlarging holes, particularly in sheet metal. The correct choice depends on the hole size and material thickness required.
