Which wood bit do you need?

Match the bit to the hole.

Drilling into	Use	Because
Clean, accurate holes to size	Brad point (lip & spur)	Centre point and spurs. Starts on the mark, clean edges.
Fast, rough holes for cables and pipes	Flat (spade) bits	Quick and cheap. Rougher finish.
Deep holes in joists and beams	Auger bits	Screw point pulls itself in and clears the chips.
Flat-bottomed or large clean holes	Forstner bits	Cuts a flat-bottomed hole with clean walls — hinge cups and joinery that shows.
Kitchen and cabinet hinges	Hinge drills	Sized to the hinge cup, usually 35 mm.
Large holes in wood and plastic	Bi-metal hole saws	One pass; step up to Cobalt M42 for steel.
Countersinking screw heads	Wood countersinks	Flush, split-free finish.
Edge profiles and grooves	Router bits	Shapes an edge or cuts a groove a drill can’t. For a router, not a drill.
