About Us

Independent drill, drill bit and power tool guides, built on accurate size charts and honest research.

Updated November 12, 20263 min readBy WellableMachine Editorial Team

Welcome to WellableMachine, an independent resource for anyone who drills, taps, fastens or builds. We publish clear drill and tap size charts, honest drill bit and power tool buying guides, and practical how-to articles for DIYers, hobby machinists, makers and tradespeople.

Picking the right drill bit or tool should not take hours of guesswork. Online listings often look the same, size charts disagree, and a wrong choice can mean a stripped thread, a burned-out bit or a cracked tile. Our job is to give you accurate numbers and straight answers, so you can get the job done right the first time.

What We Cover

  • Size charts: tap drill sizes (UNC, UNF, metric and NPT), drill bit size charts, fractional, number, letter and metric conversions, and hole sizes for screws, bolts and anchors.
  • Drill bits: bits for metal and stainless steel, wood, concrete and masonry, tile, glass and acrylic, plus drill bit types, coatings and sets.
  • Power tools: cordless drills, hammer and rotary drills, impact drivers and wrenches, and drill presses.
  • Sharpening: drill bit sharpeners, bench grinders and die grinders.
  • How-to guides: drilling metal, concrete, tile and glass, and removing broken bolts, screws and rivets.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: help you choose the right size, the right bit and the right tool for every hole you drill. Every chart, guide and review on this site is written to answer the questions people actually ask in the workshop. What size do I need? Which bit will cut this material? Is this drill worth the money? What could go wrong?

Who We Are

WellableMachine is written and maintained by the Wellablemachine Editorial Team, a small group of writers and researchers with a strong interest in tools, machining and DIY. We build our size charts from recognized thread and fastener standards and manufacturer data, cross-check figures before publishing, study product specifications and manuals, and analyze large numbers of verified customer reviews. Where we have hands-on experience with a tool, we say so clearly.

How We Choose Products

Every product we recommend is chosen on its merits. We look at material and coating, cutting performance, durability, power and battery life, ergonomics, safety features, warranty and overall value for money. Brands cannot pay to be included in our lists or to get a better rating. Read the full details in our Editorial & Review Policy.
