How to Use the Draper Expert 08912 HSSE M35 Cobalt Drill Bit

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Materials

• Draper Expert 08912 HSSE M35 Cobalt Drill Bit (3.5 x 2 mm)
• Drill machine
• Protective eyewear
• Work gloves
• Clamp or vice (optional, for securing the workpiece)
• Marker or pencil (for marking drilling points)

Step 2: Safety Precautions

• Wear protective eyewear to prevent any debris from injuring your eyes.
• Use work gloves to protect your hands while handling tools.
• Ensure the work area is clean and well-lit.
• Secure loose clothing and tie back long hair to avoid entanglement.

Step 3: Prepare the Drill

• Insert the Draper Expert 08912 drill bit into the chuck of your drill.
• Ensure the bit is securely tightened to prevent slippage.
• Adjust the drill to the appropriate speed setting for metal drilling, if applicable.

Step 4: Mark the Drilling Spot

• Use a marker or pencil to accurately mark the spot where you want to drill.
• If necessary, use a center punch to create a small indentation to help guide the drill bit.

Step 5: Secure the Workpiece

• If possible, use a clamp or vice to hold the workpiece steady while drilling.
• Ensure the workpiece is stable and won’t move during drilling.

Step 6: Drilling

• Position the drill bit at the marked spot at a right angle to the surface.
• Start the drill at a slow speed to create a pilot hole.
• Gradually increase the speed as the bit penetrates the material.
• Apply steady pressure, but do not force the drill bit.
• Periodically retract the drill bit to remove debris and prevent overheating.

Step 7: Finishing Up

• Once the hole is drilled, switch off the drill and remove the bit from the material.
• Inspect the hole for any rough edges, and use a deburring tool if necessary.
• Clean up the work area and store your tools safely.

Additional Tips

• Regularly check the condition of your drill bit to ensure efficient performance.
• For harder materials, consider using cutting fluid to reduce friction and extend the life of the drill bit.
