FAQs

Can I use these bits on wood?

While designed for metals, they can be used on wood, but standard wood bits are usually more efficient for clearing chips in that material.

Is cooling fluid necessary?

Yes, especially when drilling stainless steel or hardened alloys, as it significantly extends the life of the bit.

Can these be used in an impact driver?

It is not recommended. Impact drivers apply shock loads that can easily snap long series drill bits.

What does M2 grade steel signify?

M2 is a molybdenum-based high-speed steel known for its excellent toughness and ability to maintain hardness at high temperatures.

Do these meet professional standards?

Yes, they are fully ground to DIN 338 standards, which dictates the tolerances and dimensions for jobber drill bits.

Troubleshooting

Bit is 'walking' or wandering on the surface.

Ensure you are using the split-point center to engage the metal initially; if it persists, use a center punch to create a small dimple.

Bit is overheating or turning blue.

Reduce your drilling speed (RPM), increase pressure, and apply a dedicated metal-cutting fluid to dissipate heat.

Bit is snapping during deep drilling.

Clear the hole frequently of metal shavings (peck drilling) to reduce friction and heat buildup along the shank.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent penetration in hardened materials
  • Self-centering split point prevents walking on surfaces
  • Durable M2 steel construction for a longer service life
  • Professional-grade quality meeting DIN 338 standards

Cons

  • Extended length is more prone to deflection if excessive pressure is applied
  • Requires steady drilling technique to avoid breakage
  • Specialized for deep holes, may be overkill for thin sheet metal

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Faithfull drill bits, always secure your workpiece with clamps to minimize vibration. These bits are compatible with standard corded and cordless drill chucks. When setting up, ensure the bit is properly seated in the chuck to prevent runout. After use, clean the bits of any metal shavings and apply a light coating of machine oil before storing them in a moisture-free environment to prevent oxidation. Avoid using these bits in hammer-drill mode, as the impact action will cause premature breakage.
