Accessories

Paper Drill Bits - Select from a variety of diameters and coatings.

Lubricating Wax Stick - Extend the life of your drill bits by keeping them lubricated.

Drill Blocks - 3" diameter wood drill blocks provide a backing during the drilling process for clean, precise holes.

Drill Sharpener - Keep drill bits razor sharp - a dull bit will result in poor cuts or drill bit breakage (other options available).

Burr Removing Stone - A fine grit stone will help remove any burrs from drill bit sharpening and use.

Chip Remover - Remove plugs that build up inside paper drill bits to keep chips moving freely into the chip bin.

Hydraulic Oil - The hydraulic system requires oil periodically.
