Product Information

Although it is more expensive than most drill bits, I think adding the Xinde Firewood Drill Bit to my toolkit was worth the cost. The bit comes with a single 0.4-inch wide hex handle, which limits it range of compatible tools. Flutes: a spiral channel that runs from the cutting lip to the shank. It helps to remove the material as it’s cut from the hole.

A HSS drill bit is made from high-speed steel, as described in the materials section above. It’s often used in multi-purpose drill bits as it can be used on wood, plastic and metal. HSS drill bits are also the best drill bits for soft metals. High-speed steel: made from carbon steel with chromium and vanadium additives. It’s suitable for drilling wood, plastic and soft metals. 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: Carbide-tipped: one of the hardest materials on the planet, this drill bit only uses carbide on the tip. It’s suitable for drilling masonry, tiles and concrete. This can potentially be dangerous since the rotational force might make an electric drill hard to control. Ideally, you should always use firewood drill bits with power tools that can generate enough torque to allow the bit to split the wood. I use these bits with a cordless drill only when I’m making kindling wood.Like most of its competitors, the XCVXCV Firewood Log Splitter is designed for lightweight applications. Despite being heat-treated and having a titanium coating, this carbon steel bit cannot drill through wide-diameter timber. 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: I recommend getting a kit with multiple handles you can mount on different types of corded and cordless tools. The number of handles – The models I selected have between one and three handles so that you can choose an option for a specific tool or a bit you can install on different power tools. A drill bit’s angle refers to the angle between the spur and the cutting lip on its point. There are two main drill bit point angles: 118° and 135°. A drill bit with a 118° angle cuts more aggressively and is best used for cutting into soft materials such as wood. A drill bit with a 135° angle is better for drilling into harder materials such as masonry.

Their distinctive look makes them easily recognizable since firewood drill bits have a conical shape. These bits are designed to penetrate a log and split it into smaller pieces. 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.

The cone bit has standard features as it’s made from high carbon steel. Heat treatment improves its durability and enables it to withstand high vibration levels. This model performs best when used with electric hammers or impact drills. Pros I’ll use my experience to help you avoid the same challenges I faced when I started using them and help you choose the correct model for your power tool. Bottom Line Up Front 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.

SDS plus shank - This is another type of slotted drive system. It’s used for most masonry drill bits. My primary concern during the selection process was to create an overview of firewood drilling bits compatible with a broad spectrum of electric drills, impact drills, and electric hammers. Also, I only considered models made from high carbon steel because they were tougher than other options.SUPERIOR QUALITY- Made of high-quality material that is exceptionally durable, impact-resistant, and long-lasting The attractive price point is, in my opinion, the Xali Firewood Drill Bit‘s most attractive feature. The 1.26-inch bit arrives with 0.4-inch hex and round handles, while the square handle is 0.47-inches wide. There are many different types of drill bits available which we’ll look at in this section. In the drill bit guide below, we’ve split them into three categories: type of drilling application or material being drilled, the best types of drill bits, and then shank types.

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. Most brown wall plugs are 7mm in diameter, so to drill a hole for a brown plug, you will need a 7mm drill bit. TiAIM: a titanium aluminium nitrate coating that increases resistance to abrasion and heat on drill bits designed to cut metal. It provides high-level precision by weakening the logs at multiple angles, so you can split it in a fraction of the time. It helps improve work efficiency and increase productivity. Never use the old-fashioned ax to split wood anymore! When it comes to choosing the right carpentry or DIY tool, this Hex Shank Firewood Drill Bit is definitely a game-changer!I only recommend using the Sywan Firewood Log Splitter with a corded drill because battery-powered models can’t generate sufficient torque to split wood. Also, using the drill’s side handle while working with this bit is necessary since you might hurt your hand if you’re using the pistol grip handle. All the best firewood drill bits in my toolkit are made of heat-treated high carbon steel and have a titanium coating.
