Using these Planet Long Series Saw Tooth Forstner Bits is easy. First, pick the right size bit for your project. If you're using a bit between 3/8 and 2, attach the 3/8 Shank Extension Bar FE20038. For bits from 2 1/4 to 4, use the 1/2 Shank Extension Bar FE28012. When you start cutting, make sure to position the bit accurately on your material using the center point. This will help you get a clean and precise cut. These bits work well on different materials like wood, plastic, and MDF, but always start with a slow speed to test how the bit cuts. As for safety, wear safety glasses to protect your eyes from any flying debris. Also, keep your hands away from the rotating bit. To maintain these bits, after each use, clean them with a dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. If the teeth and cutting faces get dull, you can resharpen them. This will keep your bits in good condition and ensure they continue to give you great results for a long time.
