have a neat water fall pattern and that the faucet stud will
be accessible from below once the hole is completed.
3)For Porcelain Sink: Before starting the drill motor, apply
firm downward pressure on the bit until a crunching
occurs. This will help keep the drill bit from moving when
4)
For Stainless Steel Sink: Before using a ½” carbide
drill bit, an indent should be made with a center punch
to keep the drill bit from moving. A small pilot hole will
also aid the ½” drill bit.
5) For best results, keep steady firm pressure during the
start of the hole will cause excess wear on the bit and
progress will be slow.
