PSI 7mm Acrylic Blank Drill Bit
Description
Are you tired and frustrated of splitting and tearing your plastic pen blanks when you drill?
Now your problems are solved!
With this new, dedicated High Speed Steel Acrylic Blank Drill Bit you'll be amazed how quickly and precisely you'll drill through your Acrylic pen blanks.
The acrylic drill bit has a 90 degree tip angle which is much less prone to splitting and chipping when used on pen blanks than the more common 118 degrees of an engineer's twist drill bit.
So you can eliminate the frustration of split and torn Acrylic blanks.
The uniquely designed bullet shaped bit exits gradually from a small to large hole, helping you reduce tearing-out the end of the blank.
Drill Acrylic blanks faster and cleaner than ever before.
Works on 7mm Slimline, Fancy Slimline, Euro & Streamline pen kits.
Made with durable HSS.

Recommendations for pen blanks
* For acrylic blanks:
An acrylic drill bit is the best tool for the job. Its specialized design is made to slice cleanly through brittle plastics, preventing the cracking and "tear-out" that can ruin a blank.
* For resin blanks:
A brad point bit is an excellent option for resin, as its central point ensures accurate and clean entry into the material. A standard twist bit can also work, as resin is a softer material, but use it with a slow speed and light pressure.
* For both acrylic and resin:
If you only want to buy one type of bit, you can use a high-speed steel (HSS) twist drill, provided you modify its tip. Regrinding the tip to a steeper angle (60°-90°) and creating a flat, or "dubbed," cutting edge will allow it to scrape the plastic instead of grabbing and cracking it. Even with a modified bit, always use slow speeds and peck-drill to prevent melting and chip buildup.
