How to use

Select an appropriate drill or drill press and secure the workpiece to prevent movement. Insert the drill bit into the chuck and tighten securely. For metal, mark the drilling point and consider a center punch for accuracy; use cutting oil or lubricant when drilling harder metals to extend bit life. For wood, ensure the surface is clamped and drill at steady speed suitable for the wood type. Apply consistent pressure, avoid excessive side loads, and withdraw the bit occasionally when drilling deep holes to clear chips.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drilling speed and feed to the material: higher speeds for soft wood, lower speeds and lubrication for metal. Replace the bit when cutting becomes inefficient or the edges show wear to maintain hole quality and safety.
