I'm no expert, but broke off 1 old brass bolt flush in the cast iron flange of a toilet drain- I then used a metal bit to drill holes for the toilet riser/extender thing to attach to. This all stemmed from a remodel and having mounting bolts too short for the new bowl. The mason bit i tried didn't work as well as the metal bit. I started out small and worked my way up in size.

When using a drill.
The only tool that uses drill bits is a drill. There are, however, many different types of drill bits. The drill bits vary by material, size, shape, and function.
Yes, metal drill bits can be used for woodwork, but it is recommended to use wood-specific drill bits for better results and to prevent damage to the wood.
Yes, mortising bits are made for drill press use.
No, router bits are specifically designed for use with a router, not a drill, in woodworking projects.
Yes, metal drill bits can be used on wood for drilling holes, but it is recommended to use wood drill bits for better results and to prevent damage to the wood.
They used crude drill bits turned by a brace system.
To use drill bits effectively for different materials and projects, match the drill bit type to the material being drilled (e.g. wood, metal, concrete), use the correct drill speed and pressure, and secure the material properly to prevent slipping. Additionally, regularly sharpen or replace dull drill bits for optimal performance.
If the bit fits and locks into the chuck you can use it.
A pillar drill or drill press is used for cutting repeated holes, possibly with a jig, or using other tool bits that are too large to use effectively in a hand drill. These may be Forstner bits, milling bits, fly cutters or many other devices.
For drilling into stainless steel, it is recommended to use a cobalt drill bit. Cobalt drill bits are specifically designed to handle the hardness of stainless steel and provide better results compared to regular drill bits.
To select and use stainless steel drill bits effectively, it is important to choose bits specifically designed for stainless steel, use the correct drill speed and pressure, lubricate the drill bit with cutting fluid, and ensure the drill bit is sharp and in good condition. Additionally, it is recommended to drill at a slower speed and use a steady hand to prevent overheating and ensure a clean, precise hole.
