This 190mm Archimedes Twist Drill is designed for crafters and model makers who need to create precise, small holes without damaging delicate materials. Its primary benefit is offering control and accuracy where power tools might be too aggressive. A key consideration is its limitation to drill bits up to 2mm in diameter. This manual spiral hand drill features a PCB body and includes two collets to accommodate different small drill bit sizes, making it ideal for intricate tasks in hobbies and repair work.

Ensure the chuck is securely tightened around the collet and drill bit. Check that the spiral mechanism is not obstructed.
The drill bit may not be properly seated in the collet, or the wrong collet size is being used. Re-seat the drill bit or try the alternative collet.
Check for debris caught in the spiral mechanism or the chuck. Clean the mechanism thoroughly. If the issue persists, the internal mechanism may require professional attention.
Ensure you are using a sharp drill bit and applying steady, even pressure. For very delicate materials, consider drilling partially from one side, then finishing from the other.
Setup: To set up the Archimedes Twist Drill, select the appropriate collet for your drill bit size. Loosen the chuck at the tip of the drill, insert the selected collet, and then insert the drill bit into the collet. Tighten the chuck securely. Ensure the drill bit is centered and straight before proceeding.

Care: After each use, clean the drill bit and collets of any debris. Wipe the body of the drill with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals. Store the drill in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion. Periodically check the chuck mechanism for smooth operation.
