DRILLING IN METAL
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. A smooth even flow of
metal chips indicates the proper drilling rate. Use a cutting
lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are cast iron
and brass which should be drilled dry.
NOTE: Large (6.5 mm) holes in steel can be made easier if a
pilot hole (3 mm) is drilled first.
DRILLING IN WOOD
Start drilling with slow speed and increase to full power while
applying firm pressure on the tool. Holes in wood can be
made with the same twist drills used for metal. These bits
may overheat unless pulled out frequently to clear chips from
the flutes. Work that is apt to splinter should be backed up
with a block of wood.
