How to choose the right drill bit for each material?
Selecting the right drill bit is essential for achieving precise cuts, working efficiently, and extending tool life. Each material requires a specific approach:
Wood
- Auger bits, PUA, DIN 7487E, and Bi-Metal Hole Saws are recommended for wood.
- They ensure clean cuts and reduce the risk of splintering, providing a better finish.
Metal
- For metals, HSS (DIN 338) drill bits are the most recommended.
- Models with 5% (M35) or 8% (M42) cobalt, made of high-speed steel, offer greater durability and performance, especially on stainless steel and tough alloys.
- HSS DIN 338: Ideal for low- and medium-alloy steels.
- HSS-Co 5% (M35): Better performance on stainless steel and tough metals.
- HSS-Co 8% (M42): Superior performance on stainless steels and high-hardness alloys.
- Prostep Drill Bit – with its gradual geometry, ensures self-centering on pipes and holes with angles up to 45 degrees. The faced shank and step tip increase angular precision and reduce drilling effort. In addition to metal, it is also suitable for wood and PVC, offering an innovative solution that enhances your work’s performance.
Concrete and Masonry
- HD5 Premium Drill Bit: Designed for high-performance drilling in concrete, natural stone, and masonry. Its reinforced body and 4-cutter head deliver speed, precision, and durability, even in reinforced concrete.
- Multi-Material Drill Bit: A versatile option that drills through concrete, brick, wood, tile, and more — ideal when you need to work on different surfaces without changing tools.
Choosing the right drill bit is not just a matter of convenience — it is also essential to ensure safety, efficiency, and quality in the final result.
