We've used Challenge Paper drills (both hydraulic and manual) for years and years with little or no incident.
But for some reason both of our current machines are having some problem.
They will go down through part of the stack of paper and often create a terrible hole that looks like drill is struggling.
We have lubricated with wax stick (which does seem to help for a few hundred).
We have sharpened bit.
We have even switched to a whole new bit.
We have switched out the wood block.
We have made sure its just "kissing" wood block.
Nothing seems to last long.
We are cutting small holes----3/16".
We usually are cutting 100 16pt CS2 coated with UV at a time.
Usually we are putting holes in thousands at a time.
What could possibly be the problem with these two machines?
