The drill bit size is always stamped on the shaft.
Metal drill bits are typically made of high-speed steel or cobalt, which are harder and more durable than wood drill bits made of carbon steel. This makes metal drill bits better suited for drilling through tough materials like metal, while wood drill bits are better for softer materials like wood. The differences in material and design impact the performance and suitability of the drill bits for specific tasks, with metal drill bits providing better precision and durability for metal drilling, and wood drill bits offering faster and smoother drilling for wood.
Wood drill bits are designed with a sharp point and flutes to remove wood chips efficiently, while metal drill bits have a more gradual point and are made of harder materials to withstand the hardness of metal. These differences impact their performance as wood drill bits are better for softer materials like wood, while metal drill bits are more suitable for drilling through metal and other hard materials.
SDS drill bits have a cylindrical shank while SDS Plus drill bits have a grooved shank that allows for a stronger grip in the chuck. SDS Plus drill bits are also longer and have a higher drilling capacity compared to SDS drill bits.
The key differences between SDS Plus and SDS Max drill bits are their size and power. SDS Max drill bits are larger and more powerful than SDS Plus drill bits, making them more suitable for heavy-duty drilling applications.

Drill bits for metal are typically made of harder materials like cobalt or titanium, while drill bits for wood are usually made of high-speed steel. The differences in material impact the drilling process by affecting the speed and efficiency of drilling. Metal drill bits are designed to withstand the hardness of metal, while wood drill bits are optimized for cutting through wood fibers efficiently. Using the wrong type of drill bit can result in dulling or breaking of the bit, as well as inefficient drilling.
The different types of drill bits designed for drilling into metal are twist drill bits, cobalt drill bits, and titanium drill bits.
Drill bits are for fitting into a drilling machine to drill holes.
Drill bits are for fitting into a drilling machine to drill holes.
Drill bits are made of steel, and often coated with titanium or cobalt.
Black oxide drill bits are coated with black oxide to increase durability and reduce friction, while titanium drill bits are coated with titanium nitride for increased hardness and heat resistance. Titanium drill bits are generally more suitable for drilling harder materials like metal and stainless steel, while black oxide drill bits are better for general-purpose drilling in wood and plastic. Consider the material you will be drilling into when choosing between the two types of drill bits.
Black oxide drill bits are coated with a black oxide finish to reduce friction and heat during drilling, which can improve performance and durability. Titanium drill bits, on the other hand, are coated with titanium nitride to increase hardness and resistance to wear, making them more durable and longer-lasting than black oxide drill bits. Overall, titanium drill bits tend to outperform black oxide drill bits in terms of both performance and durability.
