Key specifications

• Diameter: 8 mm
• Material suitability: metal and wood
• Shank type: standard cylindrical shank for standard chucks
• Intended use: general-purpose drilling for repair, assembly and installation

How to use

Select an appropriate drill or drill press that accepts standard-shank bits and secure the 8 mm bit in the chuck. Mark the drilling position on the workpiece, clamp or support the material to prevent movement, and set a suitable rotational speed for the material being drilled. For wood, use moderate speed and steady feed; for metal, use lower speed and light, consistent pressure with occasional withdrawal to clear chips. Apply cutting fluid when drilling harder metals to reduce heat and extend bit life. After drilling, inspect the hole and remove burrs if necessary.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and gloves. Match drill speed and feed to the material, use cutting fluid for metal, and ensure the workpiece is secured to avoid chatter and improve hole quality.
