a
guide

Drilling in metal
To
prevent the bit from slipping when starting
a
hole, make an indentation with
a
center-
punch and hammer
at
the point to be drilled.
Place
the point of the bit in the indenta-
tion and
start
drilling.
Use
a
cutting lubricant when drilling metals. The exceptions are iron and brass which
should be drilled dry.
