Choosing the right drill bit depends on the material you’re working with. For wood, use spade or auger bits. For metal, opt for high-speed steel (HSS) or cobalt bits. For masonry, use carbide-tipped bits. Always check the size and type (e.g., twist, brad point) to match the task. Additionally, consult the drill's manual for compatibility and recommended bit types to ensure safe and effective usage.
