The 3/8″ hex shank is designed to fit both drill presses and handheld drills, giving you flexibility depending on the job. For best results on a drill press, the included guidance recommends drilling at 1200â1500 RPM and retracting often to clear chips and help keep the bit cool. When using a handheld drill, clamping your workpiece, starting slowly, and clearing chips frequently helps reduce bit walking and improves control.
