wouldnt matter really as the rock we use isnt that hard the trick is to start with a smaller bit then increase the size.if one wanted you could use a masonry bit or diamond bit but youd get away even with a wood bit.

I'd think that a wood bit would grab too much -but then I haven't tried yet ! One thing is for sure, with the exception of the masonry bit, anything you use is going to be junk afterwards (or need a serious resharpening !)

a wood bit probably will if you use a drill with a low rpm or a large bit but if you use a electric drill it would be fine the rock we use is really soft in the stoneworld of things but to be safe just use a diamond bit like we use for drilling tile they are small and have a spade shape top,using some water wouldnt hurt either to keep it sharp(i work doing tile and other stonework)

if you do use a wood bit it wont be no good for anything else lol if the rock your drilling is real hard then i would not use any bit beside a masonry bit or diamond bit as any other bit will just melt away from the heat.

I use my smallest bit and do many holes in a circle then just pop out the core. Never break a rock this way.
