Using The Variable Alignment To Adjust Chisel; And Relief Angle - Drill Master Drill Doctor 500X User Manual

Using the Variable Alignment to Adjust
the Chisel and Relief Angles
Both Models 500X and 750X enable you to adjust the
Chisel and Relief Angles of your drill bit. The Chisel and
Relief Angles have a direct effect on the performance of
your drill. By increasing the Relief Angle, you can
increase the speed of the drill in softer materials. To
improve the quality of the hole you can adjust the drill to
be less aggressive. A less-aggressive drill has a lower
Chisel and Relief Angle. Your Drill Doctor enables you to
adjust both angles in one setting.

Take care not to adjust Relief too far as this will actually
cause the drill to lose all Relief and therefore not drill a
hole. Each notch in the Alignment Port is approximately a
10° change in Chisel Angle.
