Tips On Drilling
Use a sharp bit at all times
...Using a drill bit sharpener (Lassco-WIzer MS-1 recom-
mended), sharpen your drill bits regularly. Apply light pressure when sharpening. Too
much pressure may cause flaring of the tip. (Once a drill bit has a flared tip, it becomes
defective.)
Sharpening Stone
...Use to debur the outside cutting edge of the drill bits for better perfor-
mance.
Lubricate drill bits occasionally
...use Drill-Ease or Spin-Eze. While the drill is running,
simply touch the Drill-Ease stick to the drill bit or brush on the Spin-Eze. Drill through scrap
to remove any excess. This will allow for a smoother cut.
Drill Block
...When drilling, a drill bit must stop slightly above the drill block. Replace worn
out drill blocks regularly to ensure proper drilling.
It is important to clear the chips from the drill bit when
you are finished drilling so that the chips won’t clog
the drill bit. Make sure to turn the power off on the
machine. Place the Chip Clearer (CC-2) below the
hollow drill bit using one of the three prongs that best
fits the drill bit size you are drilling with. Making sure
it is properly aligned with the drill bit, pull down on the
handle with very slight pressure allowing the Chip
Clearer to push the remaining chips up through the
drill bit and into the Chip Chute.
Step #8:
Note:
The CC-2 Chip Clearer was designed for use on drill bits
3/16” in diameter and higher.
Note:
Make sure that if you remove the drill bit to clear the chips
you should never force the chips down through the tip of the
drill bit. Chips should always be cleared in the same direc-
tion as when drilling.
