Wood

Wood
From softwood and MDF to hardwood and timber framing — drilling wood
cleanly depends on choosing the right bit.
Here are the most commonly used options for reliable, professional results.

Top Picks for Wood Drilling

HSS & Cobalt

Cobalt drill bits are the best all-round choice for hardened or stainless steels. Made with 5% cobalt alloy for high heat resistance and longer edge retention. Run slow, use steady pressure, and keep the bit cool for best results. HSS drill bits are not recommended for hardened steel - most will burn out or fail quickly. Only use on very light-duty work or if drilling into already-softened edges.

Bi Metal Hole Saws

Designed for cutting large-diameter holes in steel, plastic, and wood — including sheet metal, trunking, junction boxes, and panels. Best used at slow speed with steady pressure to avoid heat build-up, melting, or snagging. Ideal for wide openings in worktops, cladding, or electrical fittings.

Blacksmith

Ideal for larger holes or use with high-torque drills

Auger Bits & Wood

Designed for deeper, controlled drilling in solid timber. Ideal for carpentry, fencing, and framing work.

Hinge Drills

Spring-loaded self-centring bits — ideal for precise pilot holes when fitting cabinet hinges and hardware.
