Tip On Drilling

PORTABLE ELECTRIC drills can often cost the operator a lot of “skin” and broken bits when the drill suddenly breaks through the work. A simple method of overcom ing these accidents is to clamp a piece of hardwood to the back of the work. This permits the break through to be achieved more slowly and evenly, and prevents the drill jamming in the job and breaking.

It also eliminates the chuck wear which occurs when the drill jams and twists in the chuck.
