How to use

Secure the drill bit in the drill chuck, making sure the straight shank is clamped firmly and the bit is centered. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material: use lower speeds and cutting lubricant for metal, and medium to higher speeds for wood. Mark the drilling point, apply steady pressure, and withdraw occasionally to clear chips when drilling deep holes. After use, clean chips from the flute and store the bit in a protective rack or case.

Usage recommendations

For best results in metal, use appropriate cutting fluid and slower speeds to reduce heat and prolong tool life; for wood, ensure the workpiece is secured and use a pilot or center punch when necessary to prevent wandering.
