Spetool drill guide

What happens here

Once the drill bit is secured in the guide and positioned on the workpiece, attach your cordless drill to the top of the drill guide's chuck. Before starting, apply a generous amount of cutting fluid or lubricant to the drilling area on the metal workpiece. Begin drilling at a slow speed, engaging the drill bit with steady, consistent pressure. The key is to let the drill bit do the work rather than forcing it, which helps maintain the sharpness of the bit and ensures a cleaner cut. Continue drilling until the depth gauge stops the drill, indicating the desired depth has been reached and the hole is complete.

Goal: Successfully drill a straight and precise hole into the workpiece.

Tools and materials

What they say

I got the Speedtool C-clamp down. Remember, when drilling through metal, speed kills sharpness every time. Lock it in one, take your time, let the bit do the work. I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to throw some lube on there.
