Drilling Faqs

Q: Can a masonry drill bit be used for wood?

A: The short answer: yes it can. Masonry drills bits, while better for things like stone and brick, can, in fact, be used on wood. But when you use this kind of drill bit for something outside of what it is intended for, can create rougher edges of the hole and progress the work at a slower pace.

Q: How do you change a drill bit?

A: Changing the drill bit is one of the most vital parts in being able to tailor them to the project you're working on. You will need to know this through all types of bits and practices.

There are a few steps to this, and some vary among different drill designs, but here are a few basics to get you started.

1. First, you will need to loosen the chuck. The chuck is what holds the bit in place and is used as connector. It is what is keeping your drill bit in place and is the key to extracting an already inserted bit.

2. After you've loosened the chuck, you will need to take out the drill bit from its place. It should be unsteady in its place. Once loosened you will just need to slide out the drill from its place. It should come out easy with little resistance.
