Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can these be used in a drill press? A: While possible for light surfacing on soft materials, a milling machine is always recommended for safety and better surface finish due to spindle rigidity.
Q: How do I secure the bit in the cutter? A: The bit is held firmly by a set screw on the side of the cutter body; ensure it is tightened securely before starting the spindle.
