Why does my Rikon Power Tool drill bit burn the material?
- S
  Susan CollinsAug 15, 2025
  If your Rikon Power Tool drill bit burns the material, this could be due to several reasons. You might be using the incorrect speed, in which case you should change it. Another cause could be that chips are not coming out of the hole; retract the drill bit frequently to clear them. The drill bit may also be dull, requiring you to resharpen it. Alternatively, you might be feeding too slow, so increase the speed. Finally, the drill bit may not be lubricated, so you should lubricate it.

Why chuck will not stay attached to spindle on my Rikon Power Tool?

  Allison DayAug 26, 2025
  If the chuck will not stay attached to the spindle of your Rikon Power Tool and falls off during installation, it is likely due to a dirty, greasy, or oily tapered surface on either the inside of the chuck or the spindle. To resolve this, use a household detergent to clean the tapered surfaces of both the chuck and spindle to remove all dirt, grease, and oil.
