HELPFUL HINTS ON DRILLING
•
After drilling material to the full depth, do not simply pull out the drill but
maintain chuck rotation to ease withdrawal.
•
Keep drill bits sharpened for optimum performance.
•
Always drill directly in line with the bit. Do not use sideways movement as
this may damage the drill or cause the bit to break.
•
Always use a cutting lubricant when drilling all metals except brass and
cast iron which should be drilled dry.
•
As a general rule, when drilling metal, the harder the metal the slower the
drill speed. Similarly, the bigger the drill the slower the speed. Consult a
suitable book of reference if necessary.
•
Always start drilling at a slow speed to prevent the drill from slipping out of
the pop mark or indent, gradually increasing speed until the optimum
cutting speed is achieved whilst maintaining a MODERATE pressure ONLY.
NEVER force the drill bit into the work. This will overheat the tip and cause
it to dull very quickly.
