How To Use
How To Use
- Drill Mounting: This bit features a universal 3/8 inch shank that fits directly into any standard corded or cordless power drill. No specialized adapters are required.
- Starting the Cut: Since this model does not include a mechanical guide, we recommend creating a simple guide template out of scrap wood or plastic. Alternatively, start the cut at a 45-degree angle to notch the surface, then slowly bring the tool upright to 90 degrees.
- Operating Technique: Use a steady, moderate speed. Apply light, controlled pressure and let the sintered diamond teeth do the cutting. Do not use the hammer setting on your drill.
- Heat Management: Although engineered for dry use, using a wet sponge or a small stream of water will keep the bit cool and significantly reduce dust.
- Safety Note: Avoid contact with rebar. If rebar is encountered, stop drilling immediately to prevent damage to the sintered teeth.

Use Cases
