How to use

Select a drill with a compatible chuck and secure the bit by tightening the chuck according to the drill manufacturer’s instructions. Choose an appropriate drilling speed and feed pressure for the material: moderate speeds and steady feed for wood and plastics; lower speeds and cutting fluid for metal where applicable. Mark the drilling location, clamp the workpiece if possible, and start drilling with a light initial contact to center the bit before applying full pressure. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear chips when drilling deep holes.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. For metal drilling, consider using cutting fluid and reduced speed to extend bit life. Ensure the drill bit is compatible with your drill chuck and avoid lateral forces to prevent bending or breakage.
