How should I store these drill bits?

Store the drill bits in a dry place to prevent corrosion.

What should I do if the drill bit breaks?

Reduce drilling speed and apply consistent pressure. Also, use cutting oil to minimize heat and friction. Check for any obstructions in the material.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit wandering or slipping during start.

Ensure the drill bit is properly centered. Apply more pressure and start at a slower speed. Consider using a center punch to create a starting point.

Drill bit breaking prematurely.

Reduce drilling speed, apply consistent pressure, and use cutting oil to minimize heat and friction. Check for any obstructions in the material.

Holes are not clean or accurate.

Ensure the drill bit is sharp and in good condition. Use the correct drill speed and apply even pressure. Make sure the workpiece is properly secured.
