Can I use these bits with a drill press?
Yes, these bits can be used with a drill press, providing more stability and precision.
What should I do if a bit gets dull?
If a bit becomes dull, it may be possible to sharpen it with a bit sharpener, or consider replacing the bit.
What size bits are included in this set?
The set includes bits in the following sizes: 1, 1.5, 2 (x2), 2.5 (x2), 3 (x2), 3.5 (x2), 4 (x2), 5 (x2), 5.5, 6, 7, 8, and 10mm.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.
Ensure the bit is fully inserted and the chuck is tightened properly. Check for debris in the chuck or on the bit shank. Consider using a drill with a stronger grip.
Drill bit breaks prematurely.
Reduce the drilling speed, apply more pressure, and use cutting oil when drilling in metal to reduce friction and heat. Make sure the bit size is appropriate for the task.
Holes are not accurate or are oversized.
Make sure you are starting the drill bit straight. Use a center punch to create a starting point. Adjust the drilling speed, and use a bit appropriate for the material.
Drill bit overheats quickly.
Reduce drilling speed and apply cutting oil when working with metal. Let the bit cool down periodically, and avoid excessive pressure.
