DESCRIPTION
The Planet Lip and Spur drill bits are an ideal choice for drilling wood. They have a steeper helix angle compared to regular drill bits, which allows for faster and cleaner cutting. Their deeper flutes are designed to quickly clear away waste, ensuring efficient drilling. The brad point tip guarantees straight and accurate holes, while the sharp spurs minimize grain tear - out, leaving a clean edge. These 6mm drill bits come in a pack of 5 (LSHSS6) and are suitable for use with doweling jigs.
Using these Planet Lip and Spur drill bits is easy. First, make sure your workpiece is firmly secured. Then, select the appropriate drill speed for the type of wood you're working with. Insert the 6mm drill bit into your drill and start drilling slowly at first to ensure a straight start. Keep applying steady pressure as you drill. When using with a doweling jig, follow the jig's instructions for proper alignment. As for maintenance, after each use, wipe the drill bits clean to remove any wood chips or debris. You can also apply a light coat of oil to prevent rusting. Store them in a dry place, preferably in a drill bit case to protect them from damage. Avoid using these drill bits on materials other than wood, as it may damage the bits and affect their performance.
