than low-carbon steel bits due to the properties conferred by hardening and tempering the material. If they are overheated (e.g., by frictional heating while drilling) they lose their temper, resulting in a soft cutting edge. These bits can be used on wood or metal.
* High-speed steel (HSS) is a form of tool steel; HSS bits are hard and much more resistant to heat
