How to use

Secure the drill bit firmly in the drill chuck, ensuring correct centring and tight clamping. Select an appropriate drill speed for the material—slower speeds for metal, higher for wood and plastic—and apply steady feed pressure. Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metal to reduce heat and extend tool life. After drilling, remove chips from the hole and inspect the edge for burrs; deburr if necessary.

Usage recommendations

For best results in metal, use a cutting lubricant and moderate speed; for wood and plastic, use higher speed and avoid excessive pressure to prevent cracking or melting. Replace the bit when wear or chipping reduces hole quality.
