• Creating pilot holes for screws in metal
• Working with non-ferrous metals like aluminium and brass
• Drilling hard plastics and wood

Good to know

Use a centre punch to mark the drilling point and apply steady pressure with a suitable cutting fluid for best results in steel. The cylindrical shank fits standard three-jaw chucks.
