Twist drill bits, also called fluted bits, are used on light metal, wood, plastic, metal, ceramic and masonry. This type of drill bit is works well for holes up to one inch in diameter and are useful for home repairs, maintenance and building projects with metal, wood or ceramics. This is the most common types of drill bits for home use.

We’ve all had to clean lint out of our machines at some point, and it can be quite difficult to get into the tiny nooks and cranny’s. When you have a double gassed thread, the lint is just that, lint! Some companies use sprays, glues and lots of other sticky substances to glue the lint down to the thread. Now imagine trying to clean out your sewing machine when the lint is sticking to the inside of your machine due to the sticky adhesives and residues, Yikes!

Drill bits are cutting tools. If you do a lot of home projects or heavy-duty construction work, periodically sharpening your drill bits will be necessary. Dull drill bits can increase time and effort needed to complete work and possibly damage the materials you're working on, and may even cause injury. A sharpening tool can be a good investment to keep your drill bits in top shape. More experienced DIYers can accomplish the task with a good set of grinding tools.

Most drill bit sets are sold in a case with space to hold each bit in place. This keeps the drill bits from being nicked or scratched and also provides excellent organization. Each spot is marked for the bit's size and type, making it easy to quickly find the right bit for the project you are completing. If your set didn't come with a case or you've been buying individual drill bits, add a storage box with dividers to your tool set. Don't store more than two bits together and use a permanent marker to mark each space with the size and type of drill bit stored there.

The chuck is the part of the drill that attaches the drill bit. Most power drills for home use have a 3/8-inch or 1/2-inch chuck. Larger chucks come in 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch sizes, but are usually fitted on heavy-duty and industrial power drills and drill presses.

Double gassing is the process of burning off the lint! The first pass will burn off 80% of the surface lint, resulting in an already much cleaner, much lower lint look. We send our threads through for a second run, burning off an additional 80% of the remaining thread. This gives the thread amazing low lint qualities, a smooth surface, and an excellent stitch quality!

Drillbits for metal vs wood vs concrete

Drill bits come in a range of drive styles, and different options can be useful depending on the work you're doing. Here are a few common types to know:

Forstner drill bits can be used on wood and are useful for woodworking. This type of bit creates a clean hole with a flat base. It also works better in a drill press than a handheld drill.

Proper drill bit maintenance is not much different from maintenance for most tools, and it helps prolong the life of your drill bits and keeps them ready for the next job. Caring for your drill bits can also be a matter of safety; dull or damaged drill bits can create problems both in the work and for the worker.

Always follow the manufacturer's use and safety recommendations for drill bits and accessories. Make sure the drill bit is compatible with the specific drill you are using, even if they are the same brand*.*
