MAC AFRIC 700W PROFESSIONAL IMPACT DRILL

5 DRILLING TIPS AND TRICKS HOW-TO:

• Start with a punch—Pre-drilling will be much easier if you use an awl, or trim nail to punch a small depression where you want to drill. This helps guarantee very accurate drilling.

• Don’t use too much force—A drill should cut effectively with only consistent, minor force. Skinny bits will break if you push on them too hard.

• Step up sizes—Rather than use a lot of force, try starting with smaller drill bits and working your way up to the hole size you need.

• Use high speeds for drilling wood—Drill bits will work most effectively for drilling wood if you use high speeds.

• Use slow speeds for drilling metal—Conversely, slow speeds should be used for drilling metal, because metal material is removed in small scoops. If a bit is moving too fast, it will just skim along the surface.
