How To Drill Holes Without Making A Mess

October 13, 2021 by Annie

It’s not difficult to drill holes in materials, but there are a few techniques that can make your projects much easier. This lesson will cover the fundamentals of power drills as well as ways to drill tiny and big holes. Drilling from moving SDS Drill Bits, misaligned holes, and tear-out are all examples of things that can go wrong. At the conclusion of this training, you’ll be an expert in drilling.

This fundamental woodworking skill will be utilized in virtually every project you make, and with a little practice, it’ll soon become a reflex. The majority of this lesson may be used for both corded and cordless power drills, although I’ll exclusively employ a cordless drill for this session.

Tips for drilling holes

Drilling holes in different materials may not have received a lot of attention during your DIY career. However, it can bring your project to a grinding halt if you don’t have the appropriate equipment or expertise. We’ll look at how to drill various sorts of holes in various materials here:

  • Get a standard drill bit set. It will be useful for most endeavours. Before buying a drill bit, determine the size of your drill first.
  • The pilot hole is very easy and typical, utilizing a pilot drill bit.
  • Choose a drill bit that is about the same diameter as the screw you’ll be using.
  • The size of the hole they create is used to determine spade bits.
  • A spade bit is similar to a speed bore bit, however, it also has an auger to aid in the waste removal process.
  • You may also use this Forstner bit to drill more accurate holes with flat bottoms. It’s ideal for a countersunk cabinet hinge or concealing the hole with a plug.
  • This hole saw is often used for drilling through doors where the lockset will be installed, and it’s another option for drilling larger holes in wood. An access hole for a birdhouse is also an option.
  • If you’re drilling through brick or cement, a masonry bit is necessary. Allow for a time as the drill cuts through the substance.
  • A tile bit is required for drilling through tile.

How to make a clean hole without making a mess

I enjoy home renovation projects; the only part I loathe is the preliminary and cleanup work. Finding the extension cord and the correct bit for a drill, as well as cleaning up afterwards, are all things that take me down. As a result, I adore this easy hack for ridding the irritating clean up every time I make a hole so that I may put something up on the wall.

You may use a regular envelope for dust suppression. When you drill a hole in the wall, you might acquire wood, plaster, or sheetrock dust on the floor below. To prevent the mess, start with an ordinary envelope. Open the envelope up so it resembles a pocket. Tack the flap to the wall just below where you want to drill your hole. The shavings and dust will fall into the envelope for simple removal when you drill.

The beauty of it is that you’re finished — there’s no need to look for the vacuum or broom and dustpan!

 

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
