Product Information

SDS plus shank - This is another type of slotted drive system. It’s used for most masonry drill bits. Twist bits work best for drilling in a myriad of materials when the target is a hole diameter of 1/2-inch or less. As you move beyond a 1/2″ hole diameter, you move away from traditional twist bits into some different options. Spade Bits Cobalt: an incredibly strong alloy metal used to drill through tough materials. It can withstand heat and resistance and is the best drill bit for stainless steel. Grey wall plugs can vary in diameter (6-14mm). So, to drill a hole for a grey wall plug, you will need a drill bit that’s the same diameter as the plug you choose. High-speed steel: made from carbon steel with chromium and vanadium additives. It’s suitable for drilling wood, plastic and soft metals.

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 Bits They’re great for moving beyond your standard twist bit sizes and eliminating the need for a punch for holes up to 1-1/4″ or a little more. They also feature a flat flute with a slight taper at each step. This gives you the ability to drill in sheet metal and other thin metals that might deform if you cut through at an angle. In addition to making new holes, they also excel at enlarging existing ones. We consult with innovators in the technology and design of tools to gain a broader grasp of where these products fit and how they work. Tungsten carbide: made from a mix of tungsten metal and carbon. It's even more hard-wearing than the standard carbide above. It is suitable for drilling into extremely tough materials such as masonry.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 Milwaukee updated these bits with Enhanced Tapered Web. This new core design strengthens it with better flute durability.

White wall plugs can vary in diameter (6-10mm). So, to drill a hole for a white wall plug, you will need a drill bit that’s the same diameter as the plug you choose.

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. 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: 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: In addition to drill bits being available in different types, they’re also available in various sizes to allow you to drill a hole that suits your needs. The list below gives answers to the most commonly asked questions around drill bit sizes:
