Installing Boretec drill. (Boretec head can be installed or removed at this stage)

  • Extend Boretec arbour using bolt action
  • Loosen Grub screw with Allen key supplied
  • Locate Boretec drill into centre of Boretec arbour with locating hole aligned to grub screw
  • Tighten Grub screw (do not over tighten)

Installing Boretec Heads

  • Tools required – Electric Drill - minimum 10mm chuck
  • Place Boretec arbour in drill for stability and tighten chuck (if vibration is felt when boring check and retighten chuck)
  • Select correct Boretec head type for material to be bored from usage matrix
  • Hand Screw Boretec head into Boretec arbour to full depth

Boring holes

  • Use bolt action to expose the Boretec drill. Note: if the Boretec arbour is hot use protective gloves
  • Locate the Boretec drill onto material to be drilled. Note: Do not use hammer action
  • Drill pilot hole only until grinding commences
  • Remove Boretec from hole and retract drill using bolt action
  • Relocate the Boretec head into the pilot hole and commence boring
  • Use appropriate speed/ force to ensure a steady flow of material from hole
  • Ensure that there is sufficient material or space behind the hole being bored

Removing Boretec Heads

  • Tools required. One or two 300mm shifting spanners
  • Locate shifting spanner on Boretec head and apply sufficient force to undo
  • If the head cannot be easily removed, a second spanner may be used directly on the Boretec arbour for additional leverage

    Note: As with all drilling/boring tools Boretec heads get hot. Use appropriate gloves or allow to cool.

Care of the Boretec arbour

  • This is a precision tool. When cool, replace arbour and heads after use in the case provided
  • Build up of dust should be removed with a wire brush, or if necessary, compressed air utilising appropriate dust protection

Locating Depth ring

  • Move Depth ring to chosen depth
  • Ensure depth ring grub screw is located in the flat section of the arbour
  • Tighten with Allen key provided. Do not over tighten
