Soft screw bed:

You should also select a low speed in order not to damage the wood workpiece surface through contact with the metal screw head. Use a coun- tersinker.

When drilling into wood, metal and other materials:

With small diameter drill bits use a high drill speed. For large diameter drill bits, use a low drill speed.

For hard materials, select a low drill speed. For soft materials, select a high drill speed. Secure or ﬁx down the workpiece (if possible) in a clamp or vice.

Mark the intended position of the hole with a centre punch or a nail and select a low drill speed for drilling.

Take the rotating drill bit out of the hole frequently so that swarf or drill dust can be re-moved and the hole and tool is ventilated.

Drilling in metal:

Use a metal drill bit (HSS). For the best results, you should cool the bit with oil. Metal drill bits can also be used to drill into plastic.

Drilling in wood:

Normally you should use a wood drill with a centring point. You can screw small screws into soft wood without the need for pre-drilling.
