Conclusion
So overall, the best drill bit for cabinet hardware will depend on what type of material makeup your cabinets are made out of. For softer materials like pine or cedar, a spade bit is usually sufficient. However, for tougher woods like hard maple or oak you’ll want to opt for a brad point or twist drill bit instead. It’s also important to consider the size of hole punches that are necessary when it comes to drilling into harder materials; larger drills tend to work better than smaller ones in these cases. In any case, always remember to use proper safety precautions and techniques when using power tools!
