Choose the Correct Fit
Check for hidden services or embedded metal before drilling. Clamp the work and use backing where the exit finish matters.
Confirm the chuck connection and the tool’s capacity for the bit diameter; support the tool before the cutting edge engages.
Installation & Care
Use a controlled feed and clear chips as needed. Stop the tool before removing packed debris or inspecting the point.
Let the bit cool after use. Clean the cutting edge and inspect it for wear before the next hole.

Important Product Questions
How can I reduce breakout at the far face?
Use a backing board when practical and ease the feed as the cutter approaches the exit. Secure both workpiece and backing.
Is the stated length the available drilling depth?
Allow for the shank held in the chuck and any tool clearance. Verify the working reach before committing to a deep hole.
What should I check if cutting becomes difficult?
Stop and inspect for packed chips, a dull or damaged edge, and hidden material. Do not compensate for a damaged bit by forcing the drill.
