10 Reviews: Best Drill Bits for Wood (Dec 2023)

As someone who enjoys working with wood, a drill machine, and dependable bits are essential for getting the job done. With its flat-bottomed and pocket holes, these drill bits from INTOO provide strong support for quick drilling. Furthermore, the sharp cutting spurs guarantee that the cut is precise and on-point.

These bits are very sharp, and cut into the wood very cleanly. I'm very pleased with them, and the price was very reasonable.

Dewalt not only provides high-quality drilling, but it also manufactures dependable drill bits. To go any further, it has a PILOT POINT tip for a neat and smooth cut, as well as to avoid slippery bits. It also comes with a hard case system for entertaining crafting experiences. Plus, the patented bit-bar design for quick bit removal.

You're going to need some sturdy scissors or box cutters to get this out of the manufacturer's packaging. That stuff can give quite a nasty cut. That being said, I love the set. A basic assortment of bits for the average, quasi-handy DIYer. We've done a few wood working projects in quarantine and these replaced some lower quality bits that broke. These worked as they should.

The Black + Decker bit set contains 1/16-in to 1/4-in bits for a variety of applications. Strong enough to drill through dense maple timber. Most drills are compatible, and the black oxide blend provides excellent durability.

I don't have the particular Beyond cordless drill these are meant for, but they work fine on my 20 year old Black & Decker corded drill. These are strong bits that I've used so far for drilling through thin aluminum as well as lots of wood. I love the storage cases that has the sizes stamped on, too.

The shank measures 3/8-in. The IRWIN Marples bit set comes with 14 bits for easy use. It has ultra-sharp cutting teeth that allow it to cut woods easily. Furthermore, the rigid carbon steel construction provides a clean-cut, frizzy result.

I’ve dreamt of owning a set like this, and IRWIN quality has not disappointed. I’ve already used on pine, very hard butcher-block worktop, and medium apple wood.

Includes a 14-piece gold oxide coating for long-term durability. The split point is another feature that supports precision cutting, clean holing, and burr-free holes. It also comes with a metal holding case for long-term storage.

[...] The carrying case is well built and has a locking clasp that stays secure. I mostly use my drill bits for wood so I can not testify as to the durability. I did use the 3/8" bit to drill through the bumper on my truck and it performed well. For the price you can not go wrong with this set as an individual bit can cost up to the same price.

Featuring a large “U” flute design. The EZARC carbide drill bits provide fast drilling while maintaining accurate movement and holes. So, in addition to providing a longer lifespan, the high-grade carbide material supports a solid build for effectively penetrating block, tile, fiber, cement, and wood.

Tested the drills while doing house repairs. Drilling wood steel and brick in one process. Mounting batons to a brick wall. Worked with no problem. The hex end is unusual but works well. Great product so far. Would recommend.

The premium bit from Bosch covers insert bits, nut setters, bit holders, and other ideal tools for creating a brand-new table or piece of furniture. In addition, the case is portable and convenient for commuting. And yes, this pack truly comes with a 91-piece drill bit for rough game crafting.

I use Bosch bits for every drilling need and finding this assortment with many specialty bits included for the price was a rare treat. I used them to build a fence, to drill into concrete, through wood and aluminum, and that is just this last week. They stay sharp and a useful for many years in the role a homeowner/handyman puts them to use within.

The drill bits for holing timber come in a set of five. The BAYTECH bit set has a multifunctional twist for quick operation and an anti-skid triangle handle design to keep you from slipping and falling. In terms of material, the head electrons are made of high-quality metal for a solid stand against bruising or damage.

Gift for my husband and he loves them.

The heavy-duty drill bit allows for easy passing across a timber surface. The QWORK bit set is designed with a pointed spear for simple use and stable penetration. It also has a U-type slot and a three-flat shank for a secure grip.

My tile is old and on 2 inches of wall on old wood. These went trough the tile and wall with effort, but did it. I don't have a lot of strength and was happy to have them. They did not go through wood. I ordered different for that. The shower hand rails are up and secure.

The amoolo is one of the high-rated bits. And this has a wide range of uses, whether for metal, wood, or plastic. Drilling accuracy and tidy holing are enhanced by the full ground spiral groove design with a 135-degree split point for perfect crafts. Because it is made of high-speed steel, it is also suitable for drilling hard metal and wood.

This set of titanium hex drill bits is of good quality and is great to have on hand. They come in a thin hard plastic case, each organized in its own slot. The sizes are on each bit which is nice. They are sharp and work well on wood. It says it will also perform well on plastic and thin metals. They have a titanium coating to increase the longevity of the bits.
