User Tips

Safety First

Always wear eye protection and hearing protection when operating a drill — flying chips and debris are common during drilling and can pose eye or hearing hazards.

Start Slowly

Begin drilling at a lower speed to seat the bit in the material before increasing to full speed for more efficient drilling.

Secure Your Workpiece

Clamp or stabilize your material to help improve drilling precision and reduce vibration or movement.

Match Bits to Material

Choose drill bits rated for the material you’re working on — metal bits for steel, wood bits for timber, etc. — to help extend bit life and improve hole quality.
