Sharpen it, use a slower speed.
A wrong type of drill bit will seldom ruin a project, but can cause small difficulties. For instance drilling fast through soft wood with an HSS drill bit will cause splintering coming out. Drilling fast into steel with a drill bit intended for wood will severely blunt the drill bit.
The purpose of a twist drill bit is to drill holes in wood, plastics and some metals.
There is no difference, I drill both frequently with the same drill bits.
You drill plexiglass with a standard HSS drill at a low speed and with a piece of wood right where the drill point will exit the work.
A drill bit (hand or machine) is designed to drill a hole through either wood or metal material.
you can cut a hole in wood using a special drill attachment. alternatively you could drill a hole then cut a hole with a jigsaw
A standard HSS drill bit will do it. Be sure to back it with a piece of wood, or it may crack.
Wood cutting drill bits are made of steel and are usually 'brad pointed' -this means having a very sharp, narrow point in the middle of the bit's end.
I use a brad tipped drill on oak and other hardwoods.
A 3/16 drill bit.
You can use a standard HSS drill bit with the edge slightly dulled with a grinder so it does not 'break through' at the outside edge. -Drill slowly and hold the drill steady. I always put a piece of smooth scrap wood at the point where the drill bit is going to come out.
Yes it can, however they tend to be a bit slow getting through. Leaving the drill set on hammer may be helpful
