The term drill is used in many regions of the world as a synonym for wick, it consists of a tool made of metal, which must be inserted into a drill so that it can be used, since the drill will be in charge of turning to the drill bit, so that it can drill the surface where the hole is to be made. It is important to note that depending on the surface in question, it is necessary to choose the right bit, taking into account the hardness of the surface and the speed with which it is intended to drill. On many occasions it is possible that the drill bit is parade, for this it is necessary to carry out what is known as regrinding.
As mentioned above, so that the drill can fulfill its function fully, it is necessary that it be suitable for the material where it is intended to be used, since otherwise it is very likely that the task cannot be adequately fulfilled.. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the quality of the drill since its useful life and its effectiveness will depend on it, therefore experts always recommend using bits of optimal quality. Among the main bits we can mention the following:
Three-pointed wood drills: as their name indicates, these are specialized for drilling wood, they are generally manufactured from chrome vanadium steel, as far as their edge is concerned, these bits may vary, however the differences in terms of effectiveness they are not great.
Drill bits for metals: They are special for drilling in metal surfaces, however they can be used in other materials such as fiberglass, plastic, and even wood, they are generally manufactured from HSS (high speed steel), in In this case its quality can be variable depending on the way it is manufactured.
Brocas universales: se deben utilizar para taladrar superficies tanto metálicas como de madera, incluso el plástico y concreto, siempre y cuando su calidad de fabricación sea óptima.
