Types of Drill Bits

Heavy-duty drill bits are designed to bore through a range of materials. Explore these types of bits:

  • Step Bit: Designed for use with thin metal, a single step bit can drill multiple-sized holes.
  • Pilot Bit: A pilot bit is used to drill a starter hole, either for centering a larger hole saw or for preventing a material from splitting or cracking when screwed or hammered into.
  • Bellhanger Bit: A transverse hole drilled near the tip of a bell hanger bit enables it to pull wire through walls, ceilings, and floors, making this bit a common choice for electricians and cable installers.
  • Auger Bit: Used to drill holes in wood, an auger bit is shaped like a corkscrew and is especially effective at clearing waste material from boreholes.
  • Spade Bit: A spade or paddle bit features a wide, flat blade that drills a large hole into wood, plywood, and some plastics, removing the excess material as it goes.
  • Forstner Bit:A Forstner bit is used to drill flat-bottom holes of a certain depth into—but not through—wood, and is often used in furniture and cabinetry construction.

Hole Saws vs Drill Bits

Like a drill bit, a hole saw attaches to a power drill to allow you to bore a circular hole through a range of materials, but these bits—also known as hole cutters—are designed to create a larger hole than most standard drill bits would allow. Browse our collection of hole saw drill bits and find kits and individual cutters in diameters ranging from ¾” to 6¼”. Hole saws require an arbor to attach to your power drill; some include the arbor, and for others you must purchase it separately. Our collection includes cutters crafted in high-speed steel, steel, and bi-metal, as well as options with heavy-duty carbide teeth. Self-feed bits combine the best of spade bits and hole saws to bore holes with a cleaner finish than either can offer on its own.
