What masonry drill bits are best?

Question

Looking for a drill bit set thats the dog's? Any recommendations?

Answer 1

very simple, go to Lowe's or HD and get the carbide drills.....they will last forever and wont break unless you are trying to open a safe or something.......dont buy black and decker,they are junk, I would suggest getting Makita or Stanley carbide tips.

Answer 4

Got the same problem, I needed new holes, new lead anchors, and new lag bolts to mount a flag stand on the front of the house. Needed a new masonry bit too once I got started...observed the point almost gone, Hardware store sold me a cheaply made Chinese bit for $5 that they got for $.65 maybe. That didn't even break the glaze on the brick. Went back got another cheaply made Chinese bit for $6 with a carbide tip. After 5 minutes of in and out slow drilling, I got a 1/4 inch deep hole using a variable speed 3/8" regular drill. Do I need a diamond tip drill bit, now? Or a hammer drill? Or both?

Answer 5

Wow, I'd be looking for talent Agents if my dog could use a drill...LOL, forgive that.

Essentially they are all manufactured from the same basic material. Inexepensive would lack "Carbide Tips"

You'll probably get answers here suggesting Brand Names, as well, but even with favorite brand names I shop NEED, not name.

TAP CON bits, more specific to small diameter drilling are a name I use specifically, unless I need a hole larger than 5/32 to what takes a 1/4 inch tap con screw.

You should probably be aware however, that no matter how much you pay, or the brand choice you make, the bit will only be as effective over any time span, as the material you're drilling into, allows it to be. I suspect any contractor might consider any drill bit, an eventual "disposable"

Just my two cents.

Added thought. Would everyone at least give Dick Dastardly a thumbs up. We can always use a bit of humor.

I have drilled many holes in concrete and bricks. It is best to use a hammer dril but a reglar drill will work. Drill slow there is no need for water, I have never used coolent unless sawing which is not needed most of the time either. Get a Dril bit with with a carbide tip in it. You do not need a coated bit. Yes the bit will drill the hole a little larger than what you expected. It always happens. While driling the hole you will want to pull back out of the hole to allow the dust to come out or you will get a lot of heating. and a messy hole. You can do it..

If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where Teds Woodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together. Go here https://tr.im/qjCqV

There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, Teds Woodworking will change your perception.
