How To Use
How To Use
- Drill Mounting: This bit features a universal 3/8" shank that fits directly into any standard corded or cordless power drill. No specialized adapters are required.
- Using the Locator Guide: Secure the included removable locator guide to the surface to ensure accurate positioning. The guide can also hold a small amount of water if you prefer wet drilling.
- Starting the Cut: If not using the guide, start at a slight angle to notch the material before bringing the tool upright.
- Operating Technique: Use high RPMs and light, controlled pressure. Let the laser-welded sintered diamonds do the cutting. Do not force the tool.
- Cooling: Although no water is required for cooling these sintered teeth, pausing periodically during deep cuts will help manage heat and extend tool life.
