Troubleshooting
Drill bit is not drilling effectively.
Check the drill speed and pressure. Ensure you are using the correct setting for the material. Check for any damage or wear on the bit.
Drill bit is breaking.
Reduce pressure and drill speed. Ensure the drill is aligned correctly. Inspect the bit for any pre-existing damage.
The drill bit is slipping in the chuck.
Tighten the chuck securely. Ensure the shank of the drill bit is clean and free of debris.
Drilling through tile is causing chipping.
Start with a slower speed. Use a center punch to create a starting point. Apply even pressure and consider using masking tape on the tile surface.
