FAQs

What materials can I drill with these bits?

These drill bits are designed for use with metal, including alloyed and non-alloyed steel, cast iron, and various types of plastic. They can also be used on wood.

What is the benefit of the titanium-nitride coating?

The titanium-nitride coating reduces friction, increases wear resistance, and improves drilling speed, which extends the life of the drill bit.

What is a split point?

A split point is a design feature of the drill bit that enables precise drilling and reduces the need for pre-drilling or center punching.

How do I choose the correct drill bit size?

Select the drill bit size according to the size of the hole required. You might consult a drill chart for guidance.

How should I store the drill bits?

Store the drill bits in the provided plastic case to protect them from damage and to keep them organized.

Can I use these bits with a cordless drill?

Yes, these drill bits are compatible with most standard drills, including cordless drills.

How do I maintain the drill bits?

Clean the bits after each use, store them properly, and avoid applying excessive force during drilling. When drilling metal, use a cutting fluid or lubricant to extend the bits life.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit dulls quickly.

Ensure you are using the correct speed and feed rate for the material. Check for any damage or wear on the bit. Using cutting fluid with metal will prolong the bits lifespan.

Drill bit breaks.

Apply less force. Ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the material before drilling. Using a pilot hole, where appropriate, can prevent breakage.

Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.

Tighten the drill chuck securely. Check for any debris in the chuck or on the drill bit shank and clean if necessary.
