enough pressure to keep the bit biting but not so much
as to stall the motor or deflect the bit.

Drilling in Wood

Holes in wood can be made with the same twist drill bits
used for metal or with spade bits. These bits should be
sharp and should be pulled out frequently when drilling to
clear chips from the flutes.

Drilling in Metal

Use a cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions
are cast iron and brass which should be drilled dry. The
cutting lubricants that work best are sulfurized cutting oil
or lard oil.

Drilling in Masonry
Use carbide tipped masonry bits. Refer to Drilling section.
Keep even force on the drill but not so much that you crack
the brittle material. A smooth, even flow of dust indicates
the proper drilling rate.
