Usage Tips

1. Secure the Workpiece: Make sure the workpiece is firmly clamped to avoid any movement that could cause inaccuracies or accidents.
2. Drilling Speed: Use a moderate speed setting on your drill to maintain control and prevent overheating of the bit.
3. Pilot Hole: For particularly hard wood or precise work, consider drilling a smaller pilot hole first to guide the larger auger bit.
4. Clearing Chips: Periodically pull the bit out of the hole to clear wood chips and prevent clogging.
5. Proper Maintenance: Regularly clean the bit and check for dullness or damage. Sharpen or replace as needed to maintain efficiency.
