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

Our go-to for most steel jobs, ground HSS with a 135° split point ensures clean starts, less wander, and lasting performance. Also sharp and reliable for plastics like uPVC and ABS. For harder steels and stainless, cobalt alloys (M35/M42) offer better heat resistance and edge retention. Run slowly with light pressure and keep bits cool for best results.

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.
