FAQs
What is the purpose of the cobalt in the drill bits?
Cobalt increases the drill bits' heat resistance and durability, allowing them to cut through tougher materials and last longer.
What is a split point?
A split point is a design feature on the drill bit tip that helps the bit start drilling accurately and prevents it from "walking" or wandering across the surface.
What materials can these drill bits be used on?
These drill bits are designed primarily for metal, including stainless steel, but can also be used on wood and plastic.
What is the correct drilling speed for metal?
The ideal drilling speed depends on the material and bit size. Start with a lower speed and increase if necessary. Using a cutting fluid will help with the process.
What is a cooling agent and why is it important?
A cooling agent (cutting oil or coolant) is a lubricant applied during drilling to reduce friction, dissipate heat, and prolong the life of the drill bit. It also improves the quality of the hole.
What does 'fully ground' mean?
Fully ground means that the drill bit has been manufactured by grinding the flutes, which helps for precision and improves the cutting action.
What is the warranty on these drill bits?
The drill bits have a LIFETIME warranty for hand tools, 3 YEAR for power tools, air & petrol tools.
What are the size increments?
The drill bits come in increments of 0.5mm.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit is dull or not cutting effectively.
Check if the drill bit is compatible with the material. Ensure the correct speed and feed rate are being used. Consider replacing the bit if it's excessively worn. Ensure proper cooling agent is applied.
Drill bit is wandering or not starting accurately.
Use a center punch to create a starting point. Ensure you're applying even pressure. Check the split point design of the bit for proper function.
Drill bit breaks prematurely.
Reduce the drilling speed and apply more consistent pressure. Make sure the cooling agent is adequate. Inspect the drill bit for defects.
Pros and Cons
Pros
Durable and long-lasting due to the cobalt content.
The split point design ensures accurate drilling and reduces wandering.
Comprehensive set covering a wide range of sizes.
Suitable for demanding applications.
Cons
Requires the use of a cooling agent for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Select the appropriate drill bit size for your task.
Insert the drill bit into your drill chuck, ensuring it is securely tightened.
Ensure your drill is set to the correct speed setting for the material you are drilling (typically lower speeds for harder materials).
Compatibility:
Compatible with most standard drills.
Suitable for use with a variety of materials including metal, wood, and plastic (although optimized for metal).
Care:
Always use a cooling agent when drilling through metal.
Clean the drill bits after each use to remove debris.
Store the drill bits in a protective case to prevent damage.
Inspect the drill bits regularly for wear and tear. Replace them if the cutting edges are damaged.
