Splitting wood
When working with hard woods;
* Use pilot hole
* high RPM and light pressure
* Clear chips from drill every 1/8" of depth, don't just push thru.
* Keep everything "cool" to the touch.Heat causes swelling.
* use sharp drills
* Take your time, let the drill do the work.
* Gently press the drill, never push it.
* use compressed air to blow the chips away while drilling.
* Light countersink on both sides of the hole for clearance and de-burr.
* Be sure to taper pins
