All Drilling
Here at Rennie Tools, we stock all manner of drill bits to suit every DIY project. Drilling refers to the cutting process of solid materials using rotations to create a hole for a cross-section. This is a vital part of any construction project, as without drilling a hole, you risk splitting and damaging the material you’re working with. As a result, we supply only the best quality drilling tools suited to novices and experts alike. Be sure to browse our range of drilling products to find the item you need to get your project underway.
Read MoreMasonry Drill Bits
Masonry refers to stonework, meaning that our concrete and brick drill bits are placed under this category. Correctly using a masonry drill bit reduces the likelihood of cracking a chip, which in turn prevents excessive noise. In order to cut through such tough materials, a masonry drill bit uses an arrowhead tip. Typically, they will be made from Tungsten Carbide as this promises strength and resilience to complete all projects.
Metal Drill Bits
As the name suggests, metal drill bits are designed to cut into metal. Typically, drill bits for metal will be Cobalt or HSS coated with titanium nitride or a similar substance, as this prevents wear and damage. Working with metal can hinder the shape and condition of your bit, so this layer is imperative to the performance and durability of an HSS drill bit. Metal drill bits tend to be amongst the easiest to clean, and cleaning is vital to your bit’s functionality.
Wood Drill Bits
Quite simply, these are designed to be the optimum bits for drilling wood. Since wood is prone to splitting, a wood drill bit allows you to cut through wood with minimal force. With this in mind, we supply the sharpest of wood drill bits to minimise the risk of damage being incurred.
Glass Drill Bits
Drilling glass requires a specially designed drill bit that can deliver enough cutting power to make quick, clean holes without chipping or cracking what can be a delicate and brittle material. These are also suitable for use as ceramic tile drilling bits. They can also be used on porcelain and delicate stones like marble. The TCT (Tungsten Carbide Tipped) drill bits have maximum strength and come in a range of common rawl plug sizes.
Cobalt Drill Bits
Cobalt drill bits can be used on all manner of materials and are resistant to heat that is generated from rapid operations. The front section of these bits removes any debris as you cut the material, allowing for the smoothest of finishes.
TCT Drill Bits
TCT drill bits are designed for use on various materials, such as masonry, tiles, stone, concrete, etc. They’re ground specifically for these materials so that they can easily penetrate and leave a clean hole. Additionally, these bits require less maintenance than other drill bits, making them easy to care for.
Solid Carbide Drill Bits
These are ideal for hard metals and materials that cobalt drills will not penetrate. They should ideally be used on a pillar drill and have a constant feed rate. They can be used by hand but are easy to snap due to carbide being very strong but brittle.
