Types of Drill Bits at FEPY

FEPY offers a comprehensive range of drill bit types, each specifically designed for various applications to ensure you have the ideal tool for any material or task.

Twist Drill Bits

These are the most common and versatile drill bits, characterised by their spiral flutes that help remove chips from the hole. Ideal for general-purpose drilling in wood, plastic, and some metals. They are available in materials such as High-Speed Steel (HSS) for metal and carbon steel for wood.

Screw Extractors & Sets

Specialised tools are designed to remove stripped, broken, or rusted screws without damaging the surrounding material. Often sold in sets, these are indispensable for repair and restoration work, allowing you to salvage fasteners that would otherwise be stuck.

Hole Saws & Accessories

Used for cutting large diameter holes in materials like wood, plasterboard, plastic, and sometimes metal. Hole saws consist of a cylindrical saw blade that attaches to an arbour. FEPY offers a variety of sizes and materials, along with essential accessories like arbours, pilot bits, and extension bars for deeper cuts.

Woodboring Drill Bits

Specifically designed for optimal performance in various types of wood. This category includes:

• Spade Bits: Flat bits for fast, rough holes in wood.
• Auger Bits: With a screw tip for self-feeding and deep, clean holes in timber.
• Forstner Bits: For clean, flat-bottomed holes, ideal for doweling or hinge installation.
• Brad Point Bits: Feature a sharp centre point to prevent walking and produce clean holes.

Masonry Drill Bits

Built for drilling into hard materials like concrete, brick, stone, and tile. These bits often feature a carbide tip brazed onto a steel shank, designed to withstand the abrasive nature of masonry. They are typically used with hammer drills to combine rotation with percussive action for efficient drilling.

How to Select the Best Drill Bits for Your Project?

Choosing the correct drill bit is paramount for efficient drilling, preventing damage to your tools, and achieving professional results. Keep these crucial factors in mind:

• Material to be Drilled: This is the most critical factor. Different bits are designed for wood, metal (HSS, Cobalt), masonry (carbide-tipped), ceramic/glass (diamond-tipped), or plastic. Using the wrong bit can damage the material, the bit, or even your drill.
• Hole Diameter: Select a bit that matches the exact size of the hole required. For precise fits, using a drill gauge can be helpful.
• Hole Depth: Consider the required depth. Longer bits are available for deep holes, but ensure they remain stable during drilling.
• Drill Type & Shank: Ensure the bit's shank (the part that goes into the drill chuck) is compatible with your drill. Common shank types include round, hex, and SDS (for hammer drills).
• Desired Finish: For clean, splinter-free holes in wood, opt for brad-point or Forstner bits. For masonry, carbide-tipped bits provide clean cuts.
• Frequency of Use & Durability: Standard HSS bits suffice for occasional DIY tasks. Invest in cobalt, titanium-coated, or carbide-tipped bits for heavy professional use or hard materials for enhanced durability and performance.
• Special Requirements: Do you need to extract a broken screw? (Screw extractors). Are you drilling large holes? (Hole saws). Always consider the specific challenge.

FAQs

What's the best type of drill bit for drilling into metal?

• For metal, High-Speed Steel (HSS) drill bits are commonly used.
• Cobalt drill bits (HSS with a cobalt alloy) offer superior heat resistance and durability for tougher metals like stainless steel.
• Titanium-coated HSS bits also provide increased hardness and longevity for general metal drilling. FEPY offers a range of options for all metal types.

Can I use a wood drill bit to drill into concrete or masonry?

No, this is highly discouraged. Wood drill bits are not designed to withstand the abrasive nature of concrete or masonry. Using them will quickly dull or break the bit and may damage your drill. Always use carbide-tipped masonry drill bits for concrete and masonry.

How do I choose the correct drill bit size?

• For screw clearance: Match the drill bit diameter to the screw's shank diameter.
• For pilot holes: Select a bit slightly smaller than the screw's core diameter to allow threads to grip.
• For precise measurements, use a drill bit gauge or a calliper.

FEPY provides clear sizing information for all its drill bits.

When should I use a screw extractor?

Screw extractors are essential when you encounter a stripped, broken, or seized screw that cannot be removed with a standard screwdriver or drill bit.

They work by biting into the damaged screw head or shank, allowing you to twist it out.

What are hole saws typically used for, and how do they work?

Hole saws are used to cut large diameter holes (e.g., for pipes, electrical conduit, or recessed lighting) in materials like wood, plasterboard, plastic, and thin metals.

They consist of a circular saw blade attached to an arbour with a pilot drill bit in the centre, which guides the cut. FEPY offers hole saws in various sizes and material-specific designs.

How do I know when my drill bit needs to be replaced or sharpened?

• Signs it needs attention: The bit produces excessive smoke, struggles to cut, creates oversized or rough holes, or heats up quickly.
• A dull bit also requires more pressure, which can strain your drill. FEPY recommends replacing bits that show significant wear for optimal performance and safety.

What's the difference between a brad-point bit and a twist drill bit for wood?

Twist drill bits for wood have a simple pointed tip and can sometimes splinter wood on entry or exit.

Brad-point bits feature a sharp, precise centre point (brad) that prevents the bit from walking and two spurs that score the wood before the leading cutting edges, resulting in a cleaner, splinter-free hole. FEPY offers both for different wood applications.
