FAQs

What materials are these drill bits best suited for?

These drill bits are best for drilling through stainless steel, cast iron, bronze, welded seams, and various steels.

What is the benefit of the cobalt alloy?

The cobalt alloy provides maximum temperature resistance and wear resistance, leading to faster drilling and increased durability.

How long do these drill bits last?

These bits offer 4x longer life than standard HSS-R drill bits.

Can I use these bits with any drill?

Yes, these bits are compatible with standard drills and drill presses.

What is the purpose of the 'no walk' tip?

The 'no walk' tip helps the bit penetrate the material more easily, resulting in cleaner and more accurate holes.

How should I store these drill bits?

Store the drill bits in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.

Should I use cutting oil when drilling?

Using cutting oil is recommended, especially when drilling harder materials, to reduce friction, heat, and extend the bit's life.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.

Tighten the chuck more securely. Ensure the drill bit is inserted fully into the chuck.

Drill bit is wearing out quickly.

Ensure the correct drilling speed and pressure are used. Consider using cutting oil to reduce friction.

Drill bit is not penetrating the material.

Check the drill speed and pressure. Ensure you are using the correct bit for the material. Start with a pilot hole if necessary.
