CABLE BIT TIPS

• NEVER USE A CABLE BIT INSIDE A WALL WITH EXISTING WIRING OR

PLUMBING!!!

• Using a good quality power drill is a must. For larger diameter bits you will need a

power drill with a high torque rating. We always recommend using two handles.

• RPM rule of thumb: The larger the diameter of the drill bit the slower the RPM

(Larger bit grabbing and binding? Slow it down and try again.)

• FLEXIBILITY: Although all of our bits are made from a high quality US Spring

Steel and all will ex to some degree the shorter bits are not as exible as longer

ones. The 18 inch, 24 inch, and 36 inch lengths are not going to ex as much as

the 54 inch and 72 inch lengths. Also, the 1/4 in. shank on the larger diameter

bits is much less exible than the 3/16 in. shank on the smaller diameter bits.

Please see our product selection notes.

• Cable bits are not indestructible, too tight of an arch when drilling can make them

snap. If you are drilling in a wall keep your power drill close to the oor to prevent

over stressing the bit.

• Reversing the rotation of the drill to clear chips at any sign of binding or when

drilling through more than a 2 in stud will keep your bit from snapping and being

lost in the wall.

• Cable Bits have a Powder Coat nish to protect them from corrosion but it is not

optimal for cutting edges and sometimes impedes the ability of your drill chuck to

keep a tight grip on the somewhat small shanks. The Powder Coat nish protects

the bits from corrosion but will cause the bit to drill slower until it wears off the

cutting edges (drill a few test holes before using it in the wall). Also, removing the

coating from the ats on the shank will help your chuck keep its grip.

HOW TO RUN WIRES THROUGH EXISTING WALLS USING CABLE BIT TOOLS You will need: Measuring Tape, Power Drill, Cable Bit for Wood, Lighted Bull Nose Tip or Bull Nose Tipped Fish Rod, Hook Tip, 2 Fish Rods, Good Quality String MADE IN USA For this example we have removed most of the drywall and insulation from the wall and ceiling giving you a clear view of what is happening inside the wall.

Always remember to clear chips by reversing the rotation of the power drill when drilling depths of more than 2 inches or when drilling through hard woods. Listen closely to your power drill and at any sign of binding stop and reverse it to clear the chips.
