What happens here

Switching to Speed 2 on your drill's gearbox provides a faster rotational speed but with less torque. This setting is ideal for tasks that require quick drilling with smaller drill bits in softer materials. It works perfectly for drilling smaller holes in wood or for drilling through soft plastics where high speed helps create a clean cut and prevents melting.

Goal: Use the appropriate speed for high-speed drilling tasks

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill Milwaukee — Drilling in wood and soft plastics
  • Drill Bit — Drilling holes
  • Plastic Bucket — Demonstrating drilling in soft plastics
  • Wood Block — Demonstrating drilling with small bits in wood

What they say

Hide

slower speed, more torque, which is great for metal. Speed two, more speed, less torque. Perfect for small drill bits in wood. Or soft plastics. And the hammer function right here works if you want to drill in concrete or masonry. Remember, take it slow and let the bit do the work. Anyways, I got stuff to do.
