FAQs
What is the primary use of the 885.F3 bit?
It is designed as a pilot drill bit for the Facom 885 stud extractor set to help remove broken studs.
Can I use this for wood?
While it will physically cut wood, it is optimized for metal and will perform much better in its intended metalworking environment.
What is the diameter of this drill bit?
The bit has a diameter of 6.3mm.
How long is this bit?
The overall length of the bit is 100mm.
Should I use a hammer drill with this bit?

Troubleshooting
Bit creates excess heat and does not cut
Reduce your drilling speed and apply a cutting fluid to lower friction.
Bit wanders during the start of the hole
Use a center punch to create a small dimple in the metal before starting the drill.
Difficulty removing the bit from the hole
Reverse the drill while gently pulling the bit outward to clear packed metal chips.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Facom 885.F3, always secure the workpiece firmly in a vice or clamp to prevent vibration. Use a cutting fluid or light oil when drilling into hardened metals to reduce friction and heat. After use, wipe the bit clean of metal shavings and moisture to prevent oxidation. Store the bit in its original kit packaging or a dedicated drill index to protect the cutting edge from chipping against other tools.
