Please help me.

Last year my uncle died and left behind several tools.

In his collection of drill bits there are wood working drills and metal working drills.

My question is.... how can you tell the difference between the drill bits.

Thank you for any knowledge and replys.

with standard twist drills, HSS are hard enuff for anything, HS or carbon steel bits are generally wood only, but I think uncommon - the particular angle of the point determines best use for metal types check here

otherwise, there are a variety of bit types for wood only, like augers, forstner bits and the flat bladed wood bores - there's also bits for concrete/masonary w/ odd looking "winged" points

Greg,

You could always put all the bits in a box and ship them to me...
