Common Mistakes to Avoid When Drilling Into Metal or Wood

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Drilling Into Metal or Wood

Even seasoned tradesmen make mistakes. But the right techniques—and tools—can make all the difference.

Mistake #1: Using the Wrong Bit

Not all bits are created equal. Avoid wood bits on metal and vice versa. Choose step drill bits and carbide burrs for material-specific strength.

Mistake #2: Rushing the Job

Drilling too fast heats the bit, dulls the edge, and damages the material. Slow and steady wins the hole.

Mistake #3: Not Securing the Material

Always clamp down your work. A loose board or pipe can cause dangerous slipping and poor results.

Avoid these errors with our Drilling & Shaping Bit Set and get more done with bundle deals designed to keep your work clean and efficient.
