TIMBER TWIST for Decking
Precise, splinter-free drilling for professional woodworking
When every decking board needs to fit perfectly.
And drilling no longer takes more time than planned.
In everyday trade work, it quickly becomes apparent just how demanding drilling in wood and wood-based materials can be. Torn hole edges or chips clogging the drill hole are among the typical problems. The required effort increases significantly, especially with hardwoods or coated chipboards. Cordless tools reach their limits faster, interrupting the workflow. Another factor is the quality of the drill hole. Unclean edges or inaccurate diameters mean that dowels do not fit exactly or components have to be reworked. This costs time and has a direct impact on efficiency and the final result. It is precisely these points that show how crucial the right wood drill bit is for professional use.
The TIMBER TWIST wood drill bit by ALPEN was designed for precise and splinter-free drilling in wood, wood composite materials, and particularly hard, coated chipboards. It ensures smooth running, clean chip clearance, and significantly reduced effort when drilling. A specific application from the trades shows how these features prove themselves in practice.
How decking construction succeeds efficiently.
"In my daily work, I drill a lot of holes in boards to set decking screws. The problem with the hard types of wood we use is that the hole edges tear out quickly. This is particularly evident in extensive projects such as decking for large detached houses or villas. If the holes aren't clean, it doesn't just look bad, it also always takes time to rectify. In the past, we worked with conventional wood drill bits, but there were always the same problems: clogged chips, drill bits tilting into the material, and the battery always being empty after a few hours.
But with the Timber Twist, that has completely changed. It runs much more smoothly, the drilling simply feels better, and the hole edges are always clean. What particularly impresses me is that I need much less contact pressure. As a result, the drill bit goes much further with the same battery charge. In the past, I constantly had to take forced breaks because the battery was empty and I had to wait for the next one to be charged. Now, I can get through the entire deck with two batteries without any problems, even on large-scale projects."
