Best Practice Advice
- Follow guidelines to set correct RPM speed. Incorrect RPM can lead to poor life or tool breakage.
- Ensure constant supply of quality cooling lubricant, especially when drilling thick or hardened materials. We recommend our BioCut Blue metal cutting fluid.
- Apply firm, steady feed pressure throughout the cut.
- Hardened or heat-affected materials may require higher torque, reduced RPM and feed rates and extra coolant
- Avoid lateral movement or tilting which can cause damage to the tool
- When drilling into box section ensure the tip of the Step-Drill is not contacting the far side of the box section at the same time it is drilling the outside wall, this may cause breakage.
