Using A Electric Drills


There are a number of  sizes and styles when it comes to the electric drill, whether light-duty or heavy-duty.  Light-duty drills have a pistol-grip handle, while the heavy-duty drills have a spade-shape or like a D-shape handle. The electric drill can be used for just about anything, from walls, doors, lighting, hanging pictures, cabinets and a lot more! When using a drill make sure you wear eye and ear protection. Corded electric drills are good for maximum power and never running out of battery, but it limits the user when it comes to power source and can cause the user to be rapped in it's cord. The drilling speed is controlled by the amount of pressure applied to its trigger. Using a drill bit is determine by the size of the drills chuck opening. Twist drills (also called bits) are used for drilling holes for screws. Twist drills come sizes from 1/16in. to 1in. in increments of 1/64. Auger bits come in fine or coarse fee screws. Fine feed are used for boring in finish work, while coarse is used for fast boring in rough work. Auger bits come sizes from 1/4in. to 1in., graduated in 1/16in. increments. When drilling into material make sure to hold drill steady, failure to do so may break a twist drill.
