DRILLING WOOD OR PLASTIC
If backing block is not used, ease up on the
pressure just before the bit breaks through the
wood to avoid splintering. Complete the hole from
the opposite side immediately after the point
breaks through. If bit binds, reverse the drilling
operation to help remove the bit from the work.
DRILLING METAL
Make a center punch in the material for easier
starting. Use enough pressure to keep the bit
cutting. If the bit is allowed to merely spin in the
hole, it will become dull within a short time. When

help remove the bit from the work.
DRILLING MASONRY
Use carbide-tipped masonry bit for cinder block,
mortar, common brick, soft stone and other
