FAQs
What materials can I use these bits on?

How do I sharpen the bits?
These bits are made from durable steel and should stay sharp for a long time. Sharpening can be done with a sharpening stone or by a professional.
Can I use these bits with a handheld drill?
Yes, but use caution to ensure the bit remains perpendicular to the work surface for accurate holes.
How do I store the bits?
Store the bits in the included storage case when not in use.
What sizes are included?

Troubleshooting
Bit is not cutting cleanly.
Ensure the bit is sharp and clean. Check the drill speed and adjust as needed. Consider using a pilot hole for thicker materials.
Hole is not flat-bottomed.
Ensure the drill press is level, and the bit is perpendicular to the workpiece. Reduce the drilling speed and apply even pressure.
Bit is getting stuck.
Reduce the drilling speed and carefully remove the bit to clear debris. Use a lubricant specifically designed for wood.
