Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Select the appropriate stop collar size that matches your drill bit diameter.
- Slide the collar onto the drill bit.
- Position the collar at the desired depth from the tip of the drill bit. A ruler or measuring tape can assist in initial placement.
- Use the included hex wrench to tighten the collar firmly against the drill bit using the set screw.
- Perform a test drill on scrap material to confirm the depth.
Compatibility:
This depth stop collar is designed to work with standard cylindrical drill bits with diameters from 3mm to 10mm. It is compatible with most standard power drills and drill presses.
Care:
- Clean the collars after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Store the collars and hex wrench in a dry place to prevent any potential corrosion, although the 304 stainless steel offers significant resistance.
- Periodically check the set screw for tightness.
