INSIGHTS:

Use moderate speeds and feed pressures to avoid overheating, especially in metal work.

Use cutting fluid or lubricant when drilling metal to reduce friction and extend bit life.

For deeper holes, use peck drilling to clear chips.

A drill press is preferable for improved accuracy and stability.

Store bits in a dry, protected case to prevent corrosion or damage.
