5 Drilling Tips and Tricks How-To

• Start with a punch — Pre-drilling will be much easier if you use an awl or trim nail to punch a small depression where you want to drill. This helps guarantee very accurate drilling.
• Don’t use too much force — A drill should cut effectively with only consistent, minor force. Skinny bits will break if you push on them too hard.
• Step up sizes — Rather than use a lot of force, try starting with smaller drill bits and working your way up to the hole size you need.
• Use high speeds for drilling wood — Drill bits will work most effectively for drilling wood if you use high speeds.
• Use slow speeds for drilling metal — Conversely, slow speeds should be used for drilling metal, because metal material is removed in small scoops. If a bit is moving too fast, it will just skim along the surface.
