Extra Information
- Use cutting fluid when drilling steel or harder alloys to minimize friction.
 - Reduce drill speed for metals and increase for softer materials.
 - Clean chips frequently to avoid heat buildup or bit binding.
 
Pro Tip
- Use a center punch to mark your start point — this helps the split point locate accurately.
 - For deep holes, peck-drill by withdrawing the bit periodically to clear chips and cool the cutting edge.
