FAQs
How do I choose the right drill bit for my project?
Choosing the most suitable type of drill bit is essential to drilling clean holes.
The key things to consider when looking for a drill bit include the material you need to drill, the drill bit type, hole size and specialist coatings designed to enhance performance.
What are the benefits of a diamond porcelain drill bit?
Diamond porcelain drill bits are ideal for using on hard materials like ceramics, glass and porcelain tiles. The diamond coating makes them extremely durable and long-lasting, reducing how quickly they wear down when used with tough materials.
They come in various sizes and are also highly accurate, providing clean and precise cuts while reducing the risk of structural damage or chips.
What materials can drill bits be made of?
Drill bits can be made from various materials for different purposes. For example, diamond-tipped bits are ideal for drilling brittle materials such as glass and tiles, while a tungsten carbide-tipped bit is best for masonry.
High-speed steel (HSS) drill bits are great for general-purpose drilling in wood, metal and plastics.
Can drill bits be sharpened?
Most drill bits can be sharpened using a drill bit sharpener or a bench grinder. Sharpening extends the life of the drill bit and maintains its cutting efficiency.
Replace drill bits when they become dull, chipped, or damaged.
Are there different types of drill bits for different tasks?
Here are some of the most common types of drill bit and their uses: Masonry drill bits are designed for drilling into brick, stone and concrete, while forstner drill bits create flat-bottomed holes in wood.
Auger drill bits are also used for creating deep holes in wood, and twist drill bits are used for everyday drilling in wood and plastic.
There are also specific metal drill bits, as well as countersink drill bits and Brad point drill bits, which are specially designed to drill and bore clean holes in hard and soft woods without wandering.
