About this deal

High-speed steel: made from carbon steel with chromium and vanadium additives. It’s suitable for drilling wood, plastic and soft metals. Carbide-tipped: one of the hardest materials on the planet, this drill bit only uses carbide on the tip. It’s suitable for drilling masonry, tiles and concrete. Auger bits closely mirror spade bits but work better for deeper holes that require lots of chip removal at the point of entry. The full-fluted design makes this possible. You typically need a stronger drill when using these bits. This becomes very apparent when drilling deep holes or holes that exceed 3/4-inches in diameter. The drill bit size you need for a wall plug will depend on which wall plug you use. Generally, you’ll need a drill bit that’s the same diameter (in millimetres) as the wall plug, but for accuracy, you can drill a pilot hole using a slightly smaller size drill bit first. Most red wall plugs are 6mm in diameter, so to drill a hole for a red plug, you will need a 6mm drill bit.

Flutes: a spiral channel that runs from the cutting lip to the shank. It helps to remove the material as it’s cut from the hole. A drill bit's suitability for drilling into certain materials usually depends on what the drill bit is made from and coated with. The drill bit guide below describes the main options: When the tips on these bits dull, consider sharpening them since cobalt runs throughout the steel. Avoid using them when you don’t need them to prolong their life for when you do. When you’re looking for the best cobalt drill bits for the money, the 15-piece kit presents a compelling option.Hex shank - A hexagonal-shaped shank used in screw guns or electric screwdrivers with a hammer mode. Auger bits have a threaded tip that pulls the bit forward as it rotates in the wood. Its strong, full-fluted design also makes it easier to drill nice and straight. Step Bits A drill bit is a cutting tool that’s fitted into a power drill and used to cut holes in materials. They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but they all have similar parts as follows:

TiAIM: a titanium aluminium nitrate coating that increases resistance to abrasion and heat on drill bits designed to cut metal. One of the most cost-effective is a spade bit. Sometimes called a paddle bit thanks to its shape, spade bits throw chips out as they cut rather than sending it up through the flutes. It makes for a much cooler slow-motion video but generally leaves a larger mess. Unlike your standard twist bits, spade bits are really only good for making holes in wood. Auger BitsMilwaukee updated these bits with Enhanced Tapered Web. This new core design strengthens it with better flute durability. Most brown wall plugs are 7mm in diameter, so to drill a hole for a brown plug, you will need a 7mm drill bit. The best drill bits for metal, and particularly for carbon steels, goes to Milwaukee for their excellent cobalt bits. Just like their titanium bits, they have the Red Helix variable flute design. They also have a 135° QuadEdge Tip that helps it drill much faster than other cobalt bits we tested and still keep the walking to a minimum.
