FAQs
Can I use these bits on metal?
No, these are specifically designed for wood, MDF, and acrylics. Using them on metal will dull the spurs immediately.
How do I sharpen the bits?
Use a fine-grit diamond file on the inner face of the spur. Do not file the outside of the spur, as this will reduce the diameter of the hole.
Are these metric or imperial?
This set is calibrated for metric measurements, making them ideal for European hardware and furniture standards.
Can I use these in a handheld drill?
Yes, but they are most effective when used in a drill press for maximum precision and perpendicularity.
Will these work on laminated boards?
Yes, the scoring action of the outer spurs is specifically optimized to prevent chipping in laminated and veneered materials.
Troubleshooting
Burning at the edge of the hole
Reduce your feed rate and ensure you are not dwelling in the hole, which causes friction heat.
Tear-out on the underside of the workpiece
Always use a sacrificial backing board clamped tightly to the underside to provide support as the tip exits.
Bit wandering at start
Ensure the center point is properly marked with an awl, or use a drill press to stabilize the bit position before engagement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally clean hole entry in delicate laminates
- Durable chrome-vanadium construction maintains sharpness
- Minimal drill bit wandering during initial engagement
- Versatile for use in both natural wood and synthetic composites like acrylic
Cons
- Not suitable for drilling into metal or hardened steel
- Requires proper feed rates to avoid overheating the cutting spurs
- Higher initial cost compared to standard jobber length bits
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Fisch drill bits, keep them in their original case to prevent the spurs from dulling against other metal tools. Before drilling, clear the workpiece of debris to ensure a flat seating surface. Always use a sacrificial backing board when drilling through a workpiece to protect the exit side of your material. For sharpening, use a small diamond file specifically designed for Brad Point spurs, being careful to maintain the original factory angle of the outer edges. These bits are compatible with any standard drill press chuck or handheld drill equipped with a high-quality three-jaw chuck.
