FAQs

What materials can I use this set on?

This set is designed for use on wood and plastic.

What drill speed should I use?

Start with a moderate speed and adjust as needed, depending on the material and bit size.

How do I choose the correct bit size?

Select the bit size that corresponds to the screw size you are using. The drill bit should be slightly smaller than the screw's major diameter.

How do I clean the drill bits?

Wipe the bits clean with a soft cloth after each use to remove any debris.

Can I use this set on metal?

No, this set is not designed for use on metal. Using it on metal will damage the bits.

What is the purpose of the countersink?

How do I store the drill bits?

Store the bits in a dry place. The set usually comes with its own storage case.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is splintering the wood.

Reduce the drill speed and apply less pressure. Use a sharp bit.

Screw heads are not flush.

Adjust the countersink depth or use a bit with a wider countersink angle.

Drill bit is not creating a clean hole.

Ensure the bit is sharp and clean. Check the drill speed and pressure.
