Why does my Wen 4208 Power Tool drill bit burn or smoke?
- PpaulpattersonJul 27, 2025
Your Wen Power Tool drill bit may be burning or smoking due to several reasons. You might be drilling at the incorrect speed, so try changing the speed. The wood chips may not be coming out of the hole; retract the drill bit frequently to clear the chips. The drill bit could be dull, in which case you should resharpen or replace it. You may also be feeding the workpiece too slowly, so feed fast enough to cut the workpiece. Finally, the drill bit may not be lubricated, so lubricate it with cutting oil or motor oil.
