FAQs

What type of wood can I use these drill bits on?

These drill bits are designed for use on various types of wood, including softwoods and hardwoods.

Can I use these drill bits on metal or masonry?

No, these drill bits are specifically designed for wood and should not be used on metal or masonry.

What is the benefit of the brad point tip?

The brad point tip provides a precise starting point and helps prevent the drill bit from wandering, resulting in cleaner and more accurate holes.

How do I change the drill bit?

If you have a quick-release chuck, simply pull back on the chuck to release the bit. Insert the new bit and release the chuck to secure it. If using a standard chuck, loosen it to remove the old bit and tighten it to secure the new one.

How do I maintain the drill bits?

After each use, clean the bits of wood shavings. Store them in a dry place. Regularly check for dullness and sharpen or replace as needed.

What is the hex shank?

The hex shank is a 6.25mm (1/4") shaped shaft that fits into compatible quick-release chucks, allowing for faster and easier bit changes.

What sizes are included in the set?

The set includes 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm drill bits.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is slipping in the chuck.

Ensure the bit is fully inserted and the chuck is securely tightened. Check the chuck's condition.

Drill bit is not drilling straight.

Make sure you are applying even pressure and drilling at a 90-degree angle. Use a drill press for more precise results.

Wood is splintering when drilling.

Use a slower drilling speed, and consider using a backing board behind the wood to prevent tear-out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Setup: Simply insert the bit into your 1/4" hex shank compatible screwdriver or drill, ensuring it's securely locked in place.
