How can I get the longest life out of my drill bit?
We suggest following a few simple guidelines to get the longest life out
of your drill bit.
1. Use a corded drill rated at 2,000 rpm or above (this is normally
characterized as a woodworking drill, a metal-working drill is usually rated
under 1,500 rpm).
2. Place the bit into the drill guide before starting the drill.
3. Make sure the drill is up to full rpm before plunging it into the workpiece.
Sharpen the bit before it becomes so dull it breaks. In oak, this averages
about every 2,500 pocket hole.
How many holes can I expect to drill before
sharpening my drill bit?
You can expect to drill between 2,000 and 3,000 holes with your KJD
drill bit when working with oak material. Drill bit life directly correlates to
material composition.
Can the Kreg drill bit be sharpened?
Yes, we have a factory sharpening service for KREG bits only. KREG drill
bits have “Kreg” stamped into the shank of the bit. We recommend
sharpening the Kreg Jig
®
KJD bit every 2,500 holes and the DKDB (machine)
bit every 8,000 holes. Package the bit securely and send it along with a
check to the address at the bottom of the page.
