DeWalt Drill Bits
Choosing DeWALT Drill Bits for Wood, Metal, and Masonry
DeWALT drill bits in this collection range from general purpose twist sets to bits built for one material. You will find black oxide and titanium nitride sets, Pilot Point bits, Gold Ferrous XP and industrial cobalt bits for steel, brad point and spade bits for wood, self-feed bits for large holes in framing, percussion masonry and SDS-PLUS rock carbide bits, drill and tap sets, and hex shank bits for quick-change chucks.
What to Look For
- Material. Brad point, spade, and self-feed bits cut wood cleanly. Cobalt and Gold Ferrous bits hold up in steel. Masonry and SDS-PLUS bits are for concrete and block.
- Coating. Black oxide resists corrosion for general drilling. Titanium nitride adds surface hardness for longer life in harder materials.
- Shank type. Round shanks fit standard chucks, hex shanks fit impact drivers and quick-change holders, and SDS-PLUS bits need a rotary hammer.
- Set size. Sets run from 5-piece specialty kits to 29-piece cobalt sets and an 80-piece drilling and driving kit.

DeWALT Drill Bits FAQ
What is a DeWALT Pilot Point bit?
Pilot Point bits use a split-point tip that starts cutting on contact instead of walking across the surface. That means no center punch is needed in most materials. DeWALT offers Pilot Point bits in standard, titanium nitride, Gold Ferrous, and cobalt versions.
Which DeWALT bits should I use for drilling steel?
For mild steel, titanium nitride or Gold Ferrous Pilot Point sets work well. For stainless and harder alloys, step up to industrial cobalt bits such as the DWA1269 set. Run them at lower speed with cutting fluid.
