Expert Tips For Better Metal Drilling

To improve drilling performance:

► Use cutting fluid when drilling stainless steel
► Reduce RPM when drilling harder metals
► Apply steady pressure during drilling
► Secure workpieces before drilling
► Replace worn bits before accuracy suffers
► Use pilot holes where appropriate
► Allow cutting tools to cool during extended use

If you're unsure which drill bit style suits your application, our guide to The Tradies Guide To Drill Bits provides practical insights into drill bit selection.

Common Mistakes To Avoid

Many drilling problems can be traced back to incorrect accessory selection or poor drilling practices.

Avoid:

► Using wood drill bits on metal surfaces
► Running excessive drill speeds in stainless steel
► Drilling without lubrication when required
► Applying excessive force to the drill
► Continuing with dull cutting edges
► Using damaged or bent drill bits

Correct drilling technique helps improve hole quality while reducing wear on both accessories & power tools.
