The choice of the drill
The drill must have sufficient power to perform the work and must also have the ability to adjust the rotation speed based on the type of point being used to not burn the wood.
Fundamental is that it is easy to handle and robust. that has a good grip.
The spindle must be robust and it is advisable to use the self-locking model that tightens us without the use of keys.
Column support
Thanks to this type of support it is possible to fix a hand drill and use it like a column drill to make very precise and perfectly vertical holes.
Using the drill
Grip correctly, in a safe position so that you can not unbalance yourself.
Do not apply excessive force on the material to be drilled and allow the bit to cut the piece to be drilled without excessive friction.
