Wood bits blog
There are different types of wood bits (brad point wood bit, auger wood bit, flat wood bit, countersink and hole saw). Which drill you can use best depends on the size of the hole you want to drill.
Brad point wood bits are made from high-quality tool steel. The centering point ensures that drilling is stable. Suitable for drilling smaller holes in soft and hardwood.
Flat wood bits are made from high-quality tool steel. The desired holes are made very quickly thanks to the geometry of the center- and side cutters. The centering point ensures that drilling is stable. Suitable for drilling larger holes in soft and hardwood.
Auger wood bits are made from high-quality tool steel. Thanks to the self-centering screw point, auger bits move quickly and stably through the wood. Thanks to the non-axis spiral, the chips are discharged even faster than with the traditional spiral. Suitable for drilling deeper holes in soft wood.
TCT hole saws are made from tool steel. The teeth are made of high-quality carbide. The wide aggressive teeth ensure a very fast result. Only for rotational use, not hammering! For even larger holes than flat wood bits. Suitable for drilling in wood, MDF, plastic, plasterboard, brick and tiles.
Forstner bits are made from high-quality tool steel. Thanks to the open head, the chips are discharged even more easily than with the traditional hole saw with a more closed head. The centering point ensures that drilling is stable. Suitable for making blind holes in soft wood.
To countersink the screw head, or to align it exactly with the surface, is a countersink. HSS ground countersinks are made from high-quality high-speed steel. Completely sharpening during the production process creates a very sharp countersink with high precision. As a result, the drills in combination with cutting oil have a very long service life. The countersink is galvanized and deburred in just one operation.
