FAQs
What materials can the EXPERT HEX-9 Multi Construction bit drill through?
These bits are designed for a wide range of materials including concrete, stone, brick, soft ceramic tile, sheet metal, wood, and plastics.
Do I need a special drill for these bits?
While they work in standard chucks, they are optimized for drills with both rotary and impact functions, as you'll need to switch between modes for different materials.
How do I ensure accurate drilling?
The Bosch Centering Geometry helps the bit start accurately without wandering. Ensure the bit is securely in the chuck and the drill is set to the appropriate mode.
What is the purpose of the Hex shank?
The Hex shank provides a strong, non-slip connection to the drill chuck, allowing for maximum torque transfer and better control.
How do I clean and maintain the drill bits?
Clean off dust and debris after each use and store them in a dry place, ideally in their original packaging or a bit organizer to prevent damage.
Can I use these bits for drilling metal?
Yes, these bits are suitable for drilling through sheet metal. Ensure you use them in rotary mode and consider using a cutting lubricant for smoother performance and extended bit life.
What are the included sizes in the set?
The set includes five bits with sizes: 5.5 x 60 x 100 mm, 6 x 60 x 100 mm (two bits), 7 x 60 x 100 mm, and 8 x 50 x 100 mm.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit slipping in chuck
Ensure the Hex shank is fully inserted and the chuck is tightened securely. Check if the chuck jaws are clean and free of debris. Ensure you are using a compatible chuck type.
Slow drilling or overheating
Verify you are using the correct mode (rotary vs. impact) for the material. Reduce pressure, allow the bit to cool, and ensure the drill is operating at an appropriate speed.
Bit not centering properly
Ensure the drill bit is securely seated in the chuck. For very hard materials, a pilot hole may be beneficial. Check for any damage or bending on the bit's tip.
Difficulty drilling into concrete/stone
Confirm the drill is set to 'Impact' mode and that the impact function is active. Apply steady, firm pressure and allow the drill's hammering action to work.
