Aircraft drills are unique in that they come equipped with long drill bits, which enable operators to get into hard-to-reach areas. If you have one of these aircraft tools and want to ensure great operation over the years, maintain it in the following ways.
Give It Periodic Breaks
Since these drills are so powerful and innovative, you may get the urge to use them for hours without stopping. It's important to refrain from doing this, though, because too much time drilling in one sitting can actually cause the motor to overheat. Then if you're not careful, you may be left with an expensive replacement or repair.
Remember to use the aircraft drill in spurts, where you let it cool down after being in use for several minutes. Not only will this prolong the life of your aircraft drill's motor, but drill bits attached to it. You might even set alarms in your phone to remind you when to drill and not drill.
Clean Regularly
Aircraft drills can cut through some pretty amazing materials, which have a tendency of collecting on the drills after a while. Although they seem harmless, excess materials can actually get lodged into the crevices of your drill and cause it to not work so great anymore.
You can prevent these operational issues by cleaning the aircraft drill regularly. More specifically, you need to clean the drill each time it's used. Probably the best instrument to use for this cleaning task is a microfiber towel. It's extremely soft and will attract metal debris and other bits off your drill.
Keep It Lubricated
As mentioned earlier, aircraft drills are put through a lot. They thus have a tendency of overheating if you're not careful. To ensure this doesn't happen with your aircraft drill, you need to get in the habit of lubricating it as often as you can.
Lubrication essentially enables your drill to work smoother and stay cool -- preventing serious issues from occurring. There are many oil-related products you can use as lubrication for these drills. Just make sure you consult with the drill's manufacturer to see exactly what oil product they recommend for optimal performance.
There are so many great applications to aircraft drills and they're highly utilized in a lot of different sectors today. If you rely on these drills for your operations, do your part in keeping them in great condition. All this requires is a little effort and consistency on your part.
