Drill bits are one of those products that are largely taken for granted by most do it yourself enthusiasts and handymen, yet they are in fact an indispensable part of the building, manufacturing, maintenance as well as the do it yourself and currently trendy lifestyle improvement markets. Strangely enough, even though bits are part and parcel of an every day common place tool, there is still a fair amount of confusion surrounding the various types of bits that are available on the market as well as their sometimes rather unique intended function and application purposes.
Different Bits And Their Uses
Heavy Duty Drill
Many people are not aware of just how many different bits are available, designed to address almost any conceivable application, spanning the gamut of possible application scenarios from heavy duty industrial applications to much smaller scale domestic applications. Drill bits and drills themselves are in fact such an indispensable part of our everyday life that without them we would not be able to effectively construct most things.
The concept of using a tool to aid in creating a hole through one or more surfaces in order to either fix an object to a given surface (usually vertical) or to simply join two or more objects together, has been around for a long time. There are historical as well as biblical references to a form of hand operated drill being used in carpentry and building construction in the Middle East and Mediterranean.
Today bits are very sophisticated. Thanks to modern technology manufacturers are able to design and develop many different bits for almost every conceivable application scenario. Almost everyone is familiar with at least two of the many bits that are now available. Two of the most commonly used bits are wood drill bits and masonry bits. Wood bits are the most common and are the ones that most people associate with drills and drill bits, they are in almost every handyman's garage or tool shed and I am sure that almost everyone of us has memories of there father wondering around the house with a few of these in hand.
The next most commonly associated bit is the masonry bit. This bit is specifically designed for all types of masonry including brick as well as certain types of stone and concrete. These bits have a special hardened tip, usually a hardened steel called Tungsten. When you examine these drill bits you will notice that they have a colored tip, sometimes blue or green. Incidentally steel bits are similar, with a hardened tip of Tungsten, they often have a red tip and are designed for drilling through many types of steel and metal.
The bits mentioned here are three of the most commonly used bits available, there are many other bits available that perform tasks that would otherwise be impossible to achieve. Another example of a specialized drill bit is a sharp pointed drill bit, sometimes with a diamond tip specifically deigned for drilling holes in mirrors and tiles. Drill bits help to make our lives easier and help us accomplish tasks that would otherwise be impossible.
