Using these Forstner bits is easy. First, choose the right size bit for your project. If you're using bits from 3/8 to 2 inches, attach the 3/8 - inch Shank Extension Bar (8/200mm Long) FE20038. For bits from 2 1/4 to 4 inches, use the 1/2 - inch Shank Extension Bar (11/280mm Long) FE28012. Then, position the bit accurately on your material. Start the drill at a slow speed and gradually increase it as you start cutting. When cutting, make sure to apply steady pressure. These bits work well on various materials like wood, plastic, and MDF, but avoid using them on extremely hard materials that could damage the bit. After use, clean the bit with a dry cloth to remove any debris. If the teeth and cutting faces become dull, you can resharpen them to keep the bit in good working condition. Store the bits in a dry place to prevent rusting.
