Practical tips for best results: start with a light pilot hole if drilling into harder metals, use proper lubrication or cutting fluid for metal work, and maintain a steady feed to reduce heat buildup. Regularly inspect the bit tip for wear and avoid forcing the bit—let the bit do the cutting for cleaner holes and longer life.
