The wood drill bit or dowel bit has a focal point, and two raised spurs keep the bit drilling in a straight direction.
The bit cut the timber quickly when used in a power drill, and it keeps a clean sided hole.
It is the best tool for drilling holes for dowels as the surfaces of the holes are clear and identical.
The wood drill comes in a variety of designs:
A standard wood drill with a center point for regular work.
A hose drill is used to drill long and finished holes.
A speed drill is used to make wide holes in the material.
A countersink used for drilling holes where the final attachment is sunk into the wood.
Hole saws for the big holes.
