VersaDrive TurboTip FAQ Section

Q: Can I use my impact wrench or Impact Driver with TurboTip Drill Bits?

TurboTip Drill Bits are specially hardened with a patented point design to cope with impact and provide up to double the drilling speed compared to an ordinary hand held rotary drill or cordless drill. They will also perform exceptionally well when used with a rotary drill.

Q: Which lubricant do you recommend for TurboTip?

Speedlube is generally the best all purpose lubricant, for fast, convenient and accurate aerosol application ensuring coverage inside the hole as well as on the tool. However our BioCut paste is very popular and efficient lubricant for dipping the tool directly into the tin. It’s also great for minimising run off or mess, on painted surfaces or other sensitive applications where run off is to be avoided. Aeropaste can be used if working in applications such as Overhead where a fluid lubricant will run off. Finally BioCut Blue cutting fluid works particularly well with harder materials or difficult applications and is ideal forfor direct application onto the tool and into the hole when working on flat surfaces.

Q: What life expectancy can i expect with TurboTip drill bits?

As a rule of thumb you can expect in the region of 200 holes per bit when using TurboTip. Most of our customers say this is great value for money considering the speed of impact drilling, combined with the accuracy and finished hole quality a TurboTip drill bit gives. Under test conditions in floor mounted drilling machines, users have reported life expectancy of greater than 1000 holes per drill.

Q: Can I use TurboTip Drill bits for stainless and other hard materials?

TurboTip Drill Bits are suitable for drilling stainless steel when used at lower RPM speeds in rotary drills. They can be used for drilling Stainless Steel with an Impact wrench, however reduced life expectancy would be expected. TurboTip drill bits are not intended for use on Hardox and other wear plate materials. For optimum tool life We recommend using lower RPM speeds, higher pressure and increased lubrication.

Q: At what stage will at Turbotip Drill bit go blunt?

The most common cause for a drill bit to have blunted sooner than you would have expected it to, the typical cause is using too high an RPM for the particular application causing the tool to wear and blunt prematurely. When used at recommended RPM and torque limits and all best practice is followed, you should expect excellent tool life.

Q: Can TurboTip Drill Bits be resharpened?

They can be resharpened by dedicated resharpening companies using tool grinding machines. We do not offer this service directly but we can recommed resharpening companies.

Best Practice Advice - How to get the best out of your 209015 TurboTip

• Follow guidelines to set correct RPM speed. Incorrect RPM can lead to poor life or tool breakage
• Apply firm, steady feed pressure throughout the cut
• Avoid lateral movement or tilting which can cause damage to the tool
• Ensure regular application of quality cooling lubricant, especially when drilling thick or hardened materials.
• Hardened or heat-affected materials may require higher torque, reduced RPM and feed rates and extra coolant

How to decide which Impact Wrench or Impact Driver to use?

• Identify the torque range (for the cutting tool) required using the data sheet in question 2.
• Identify the torque range on your impact wrench or impact driver
• Look up model number to see torque range
• Check if there are speed/torque settings on the tool - Example
• Select the closest torque setting on the impact wrench/impact driver ABOVE the torque recommendation
• (this is for the following 2 reasons)
• - Higher torque will only be used on demand
• - Too low torque will lead to the tool jamming or even snapping as the flutes stop cutting and the torque transfers to the tool
