FAQ's: Wood Drill Bits
Will an auger go through wood?
Yes—easily, and it’s designed to clear chips as it drills deep holes.
Why is my drill not screwing into wood?
The bit may be too small for the screw, or you’re not using enough torque.
Why does my wood keep splitting when drilling?
No pilot hole, dull bit, drilling too close to edges, or drilling too fast.
Why can’t my drill make a hole in wood?
The bit may be dull, the drill in reverse, or the wood too hard for the bit type.
Which type of drill bit is used only for drilling in wood?
Brad point, spade, and auger bits are wood-specific.
What setting do you drill for wood?
Use the drill’s standard setting with moderate speed—no hammer function.
What kind of drill bits do electricians use?
Ship auger bits or flex bits for drilling through studs and joists.
What is the longest drill bit for wood?
Ship auger bits can reach 18" or more.
What is the best drill bit for wood?
Brad point bits for precision, spade bits for speed, and auger bits for depth.
What is the best drill bit for large holes in wood?
A hole saw or large Forstner bit.
What is the best drill bit for drilling through wood?
For general use, a brad point bit. For deep holes, an auger bit.

Drilling clean, accurate holes in wood and similar soft materials.
What are wood drill bits called?
Common types include twist bits, spade bits, auger bits, and Forstner bits.
Should you lubricate drill bits when drilling into wood?
No. Wood drills best dry; lubrication is for metal or masonry.
Is it better to drill wood fast or slow?
Moderate speed—too fast can burn the wood, too slow can cause tearing.
Is it better to drill into wet or dry wood?
Dry wood. Wet wood can gum up bits, swell, and split when it dries.
Is a flat wood bit better than a hole saw?
Flat (spade) bits are faster and cheaper; hole saws cut cleaner and handle larger diameters better.
How to tell the difference between a wood drill bit and a steel drill bit?
Wood bits have a point and spurs; steel bits are blunter with a chisel edge for cutting metal.
How to tell a drill bit is for wood?
It has a sharp center point and often spurs on the edges.
How to make wood not crack when drilling?
Use a sharp bit, pre-drill pilot holes, avoid drilling too close to edges, and reduce speed near the end.
How to know which drill bit to use for wood?
Match the bit type to the job—twist bits for small holes, spade bits for quick larger holes, and Forstner bits for clean, flat-bottom holes.
How to drill perfectly straight holes in wood?
Use a drill guide or drill press. Without one, keep the drill steady and check alignment from multiple angles.
How to drill holes in wood without chipping?
Use painter’s tape over the spot, drill slowly, and back the bit out gently before it breaks through.
How to drill a hole in wood for beginners?
Mark your spot, use a sharp wood bit, set the drill to medium speed, and apply steady pressure.
How do I know if I’m drilling into wood?
You’ll feel less resistance than with metal, and the shavings will be light, curly, and sawdust-like.
How do I know if a drill bit is for wood?
Look for a sharp center point and spurs on the edges—these help guide and cut clean holes in wood.

Yes, for best results. Wood bits have sharp points and spurs to cut fibers cleanly.
