Which category of drill accessories can be used on most materials in either a drill press or a hand drill?

• A. Rasp
• B. Surform Shaver
• C. Smoothing Plane
• D. Drill Bits

Answer: (D)

The ability to make holes across a variety of materials with either a drill press or a hand drill hinges on using drill bits. Drill bits are cutting tools designed to remove material and create holes, and they are specifically made to fit in a drill’s chuck, whether you’re using a portable hand drill or a stationary drill press. They come in many shapes and sizes tailored to different materials—wood, metal, plastic, masonry—so you can choose the right bit for the job and material you’re working with.

Rasp, Surform shaver, and smoothing plane are woodworking tools used for shaping and smoothing surfaces, not for drilling holes. They remove material to sculpt or finish a piece, and they aren’t designed to be used as drill accessories in a drill press or hand drill.
