Conical drill bits are used to obtain an exact-shaped pilot hole for screws and as a pre-driller for nails, in order to reduce the chance of splitting the work piece, or to drill into the head end of tool handles to easily achieve a properly shaped hole to take the commonly-used conical shaft wedges.
Important Advice: The maximum drilling depth for these bits is the length of the conical section (1), that is, the length of the spiral chip-clearing groove. This drilling depth is shown in the tables below. Trying to force the bit to drill deeper into the work piece will come to nothing except perhaps a stuck or heat-damaged bit.
