Flat drill bits and cross drill bits are common electric drill accessories that are widely used. These two types of drill bits have obvious differences in shape, but which one is more commonly used in use? Which one is more durable?

A straight drill bit is suitable for drilling straight holes; Cross drill bits are suitable for drilling both horizontal and vertical holes. Are there any differences in durability between these two types of drill bits used in different situations?

When purchasing drill bits, you may have some questions. Let me introduce you to the comparison:

When the material and quality are the same, the cross drill bit is more durable. This is because the cross drill bit can reduce friction during rotation, thereby reducing the wear of the drill bit. Therefore, if better durability is needed, a cross drill bit is a better choice.

The techniques and precautions for using drill bits can also affect their service life. Before using the drill bit, the correct speed and torque must be selected first. When using, do not apply too much force, otherwise it may cause damage to the drill bit. Therefore, the correct usage method is the key to ensuring its lifespan. Regardless of the type of drill bit used, it is advisable to avoid excessive wear and tear caused by prolonged use on hard materials.

In summary, for ordinary household or small projects, the durability of the two types of drill bits is not significantly different. However, in heavy engineering or frequent use, cross drills are more durable and a better choice.
