Drill bits are among the most widely used of all tool parts especially around the house and in many do it yourself projects.
There are a great number of various kinds of bits for many different applications such as wood, masonry and steel or metal.
It is important for anyone wishing to use a piece of equipment like this for any project to fully understand the differences pertaining to the various kinds as it is very easy to incorrectly use the wrong one which will lead to a damaged work surface or bit.
Understanding Metal Drill Attachments Within every application and sub section lie a number of different application types and processes, this is true for all applications that require drilling or drill knowledge regardless of whether it is timber, tile or glass, masonry such as concrete or brick and metal, or steel.
Metal or steel bits tend to be very specific in nature because of the demands that are placed on them by the very nature of the material that they will be drilling into.
Metal bits are made from a very specific type of steel which is commonly known as 'high speed steel' or often abbreviated to simply 'HSS'.
High speed steel is specifically designed to deal with the stresses that metal or steel substrates tend to produce on the bit itself.
Steel is the hardest surface to penetrate and it requires that the bit be strong enough to deal with resistances and so on without snapping or failing to penetrate through.
High speed steel differs quite substantially from carbon steel which is typically used in the manufacture of masonry bits.
This is a specific kind of bit that features a strengthened tip that is usually noticeable and often coloured red.
Carbon steel attachments cannot be used to drill steel as the carbon steel tends to be too brittle for such rigorous applications.
One of the major advances in the manufacture and design of metal or steel drill attachments has been the addition of a coating made from Titanium nitride, which has the abbreviation TiN.
This coating is usually distinguishable as a golden or copper colour and its main advantage is added strength as well as a very useful side feature, or benefit, which is a lubrication element.
Additional Information On Metal Drill Attachments Although metal or steel drill attachments tend to be fairly cheap and quite commonplace it is still common practice among seasoned handy men or people within building or metal work industries to sharpen their own bits instead of replacing them altogether if they no longer perform at maximum efficiency.
It is good practice to sharpen a drill attachment, especially metal or steel bits, as they tend to wear down much quicker than other types of drilling bits such as wood or masonry bits.
Sharpening these bits guarantees efficient performance for a long period of time.
Metal drill bits are a boon for a handyman or do it yourself-er and make life a great deal easier.
