Choose the Correct Fit
Mark the hole location and desired depth before drilling. Use a depth stop when a recess must not pass through.
Clamp the work securely, especially for overlapping or edge holes where the cutter is not surrounded by material.
Installation & Care
Match the round shank to the chuck and use the speed recommended for the bit diameter and wood.
Clear chips with the tool stopped, then allow the bit to cool before cleaning and inspecting the cutters.

Important Product Questions
Can it make overlapping holes?
Yes. This Forstner design is intended for overlapping holes as well as pocket holes and holes at an edge. Clamp the work securely.
Is a flat-bottom hole automatically a through-hole?
No. Set the drilling depth for a blind recess and allow for the center point before approaching the back face.
Can I use it in a quick-change hex holder?
The shank is round. Use a compatible drill chuck rather than assuming it fits a hex-only accessory holder.
