8.4 General hints for drilling
8.4.1 Drilling in all materials
Always use sharp drill bits. Mark the place where you would like the hole to be drilled.
Commence with a slow speed to start the hole. Reduce your pressure on the drill when the drill
bit is about to break through the material.
8.4.2 Metal drilling
Support thin material with a piece of scrap wood. Use a center punch to mark the position of the
hole. If drilling a large hole, use a small size drill bit first to establish a pilot hole then use the
required large size drill bit. Use only HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits or those recommended
for metal use. When drilling into iron or steel, use no lubricant but withdraw the drill regularly to
assist cooling.
8.4.3 Wood drilling
Mark the place where you want to drill with a punch or a nail. To avoid splintering on
breakthrough, either clamp a piece of scrap wood to the back of your work piece or continue the
hole from the back of the wood when the drill bit first breaks through.
