GENERAL DRILLING GUIDELINES
Always centre punch the position for driIIing. A centre punch is a
pointed tool that marks the material to be drilled with a small indent
which stops the drill bit moving from the desired position. To drill a
hole, rotate the handles towards you, this lowers the drive spindle to
put pressure on the material to be drilled with the drill tip. Do not use excessive force as this
will create heat and blunt the bit (let the drill bit cut the material). Always start by drilling a
small pilot hole and gradually progress in drill diameter. The larger the diameter of the bit, the
more often you have to remove it from the hole in order to clear swarf from the hole. When
drilling metals except copper or brass, lubricate the drill tip with oil.
NEVER cool with water or water based lubricant otherwise an electric shock could occur.
DO NOT use oil when drilling copper or brass.
Care should be taken when drilling copper and brass as the drill bit will be prone to jamming.
Small diameter drills require a higher speed and as the drill diameter increases, the slower the
speed required. The drilling speed chart on page 11 is a guide only and only covers the more
common materials, drill diameters and speeds.
The Pillar Drill requires very little maintenance apart from keeping all unpainted surfaces
coated in light oil.
Keep the Pillar Drill clear of swarf which should be disposed of in a proper manner and not put
into domestic refuse bins.
Always inspect and check the set up and adjustments before using the Pillar Drill.
