FAQs

What types of wood can I use these bits with?

These bits are designed for use with both hard and soft woods.

What is the purpose of the hex-shaped stem?

The hex-shaped stem provides a secure grip in the drill chuck, preventing the bit from slipping.

How do I clean the drill bits?

Wipe the bits with a clean cloth after each use to remove wood shavings. You can also use a bit cleaner.

Can I use these bits with a drill press?

Yes, these bits can be used with a drill press.

How do I know which size bit to use?

Choose the bit size that matches the diameter of the hole you need to create. The set includes sizes from 10mm to 25mm.

How often should I sharpen the drill bits?

Sharpen the bits when they start to show signs of dullness or if the holes are not clean. Sharpening frequency depends on usage.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.

Ensure the hex shank is fully inserted and the chuck is tightened properly. Check for debris on the bit or in the chuck.

Holes are not clean or are splintering the wood.

Reduce the drill speed and apply even pressure. Consider using a backer board to prevent tear-out on the exit side of the hole. Ensure the bit is sharp.

Drill bit is getting stuck in the wood.

Reduce the pressure, and clear the hole by pulling the bit out periodically to remove wood chips. Use wax or lubricant.
