How to use

Mount the pilot drill bit securely in the drill chuck or quick-change holder, ensuring the 6.35 mm shank is clamped firmly. Mark the centre of the hole to be cut and start drilling at low speed to establish the pilot hole, then increase speed as appropriate for the material. Use the pilot hole to guide the hole saw into position and maintain steady pressure to avoid wandering. For metal work, apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend bit life.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment and select drill speed and lubrication according to the material. Replace the bit when wear or damage reduces accuracy.
