- Set speed: Use an appropriate speed for drywall (consult your tool’s manual).
- Plunge and guide: Start inside the trace line, plunge with the standard point, and guide the bit along the mark using steady pressure.
- Let flutes clear dust: Keep the tool moving so the 2 straight flutes can evacuate material efficiently.
