why cant I get sds wood drill bits?

Answer 1

I have an SDS electric drill but it is only masonry drill bits that come with the SDS connection. You have to buy a chuck with an SDS connection, plug that into your drill and then fit a normal drill bit into the chuck

Answer 2

Sds Wood Drill Bits

Answer 3

You use a regular drill motor on wood. Cordless, or corded depending upon your needs. If you are drilling studs to wire a house you get a big 3/4" angle drill, small holes & a cordless is okay. There is an option to use an SDS drill with any type of straight bit. You buy a 1/2 or 3/4" Jacobs Chuck to SDS Cuck adapter and use regular wood drill bits. You can also use cheapie masonry bits too. SDS drills are mainly for masonry, BUT we have run into wood inside concrete, and the need to use a normal drill bit or some other attachment like a paint stirrer. Your SDS drill will need a drill ONLY option, with no hammer action. Bosch Bulldogs have that capability. I use the adapter to rod holes through concrete slabs deeper into the dirt beneath the slab to treat for termites. So, I use the adapter and a 4 foot piece of steel rod with a wedge tip hammered into it. A 2 1/2" ships auger will drag down a big SDS drill too, so, YES you do need some BIG drills for big holes in wood. We use a Hole Hawg or a D handle Mailwaukee or the bigger 1 inch timber drills. The torque in those is greater than a lot of SDS Max stuff. They do not hammer though, so they are for wood.

Answer 5

Most contractors have an sds plus drill, designed to use on brick, concrete etc for drilling or chiselling, then have a cordless screwdriver/drill for timber drilling, sds is far better than a conventional hammer drill for masonry because of its percussion rather than hammer action.

Answer 6

sds drill were desighned for hammer action drills so that when drilling concrete, brick, lock ect the drill bit would not jam and loosen the chuck as it did in old drills, wood drilling bits dont jam inside tohe wood so hense the reason for sds

Answer 7

You cant because SDS is for drilling concrete brick etc its designed so the hammer action will not loosen the chuck.

However you can buy a SDS keyless chuck to put your wood bits in:

because SDS drills are specifically designed to go through concrete
that's it! buy another power drill for the rest of your drilling requirements
