How to use

Install the drill bit securely in the chuck of a hand drill or drill press, ensuring proper centring and tightening. Select appropriate spindle speed and feed rate according to the material being drilled: lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for soft metals and wood. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metal to reduce heat and extend tool life. Apply steady, controlled pressure and retract periodically to clear chips for deeper holes.

Usage recommendations

For best performance and safety, wear eye protection and secure the workpiece. Match drill speed and cooling method to the material, keep the bit sharp, and replace it if excessive wear or chipping of the cutting edge occurs.
