Drill Bits for Wood: Brad Point, Countersink, Tapered, Forstner & Auger

The right drill bit makes a measurable difference in hole quality, screw fit, and finished appearance. Infinity Tools stocks an extensive range of wood drilling tools — from precision brad point sets for accurate face-grain drilling to tapered countersinks that pre-drill and countersink in one pass, to stubby bits for confined spaces and flat-bottom counterbores for hardware installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of brad point drill bits over standard twist bits?

Brad point bits have a center spur that locates precisely on the marked point, preventing the bit from wandering on entry. The outer spurs score the hole perimeter cleanly before the flutes remove material, producing a cleaner hole in wood than a standard twist bit. See the Infinity Tools Brad Point Drill Bit Sets for a full size range.

What is a tapered drill and countersink used for?

The 7 Pc Tapered Drill & Countersink Set combines a tapered pilot drill with a countersink in one tool. The taper matches the shape of traditional wood screws, preventing splitting and allowing the screw to seat flush in a single drill operation.

What is the difference between a countersink and a counterbore?

A countersink creates a conical recess for a flat-head screw to sit flush with the surface. A counterbore, like the Make It Snappy SD-3 Flat Bottom Counterbores, creates a cylindrical flat-bottomed recess for a bolt head or wood plug to sit below the surface.

When should I use stubby drill bits?

The Milescraft 6 Pc Stubby Drill Set for Wood is designed for tight spaces where a standard-length bit cannot fit — such as drilling inside cabinet carcasses, near walls, or in confined assemblies. The shorter flute length also reduces flex on small diameters.

What makes the Viking Norseman brad point set a premium option?

The Viking Norseman Burrout 14 Pc Brad Point Set features precision-ground cutting geometry and high-quality steel for longer edge retention and cleaner holes compared to standard import brad point sets.

Can countersink bits be used with a quick-change chuck?

Yes. The Make It Snappy 25 Pc Countersink Quick Change Drill Set is specifically designed with 1/4" hex shanks for use with quick-change chucks, allowing fast swaps between drilling and driving without a key.

What adjustable countersink is available for different screw sizes?

The 1/8" to 1/4" Adjustable Countersink accommodates a range of bit diameters, making it versatile for different screw gauges without requiring a separate countersink for each size.
