Usage tips for best results

When drilling harder materials, applying a coolant or water can improve drilling quality and extend tool life. For larger bits, use a machine with solid fixation such as a drill press or CNC router. If hand drilling, use a vise or clamp to stabilize the workpiece and begin with a light feed.
