How To Drill the Right Length Every Time


Avoid drilling too far with this simple trick:

DIY Project Steps

1. Determine the Depth

Decide how deep you need to drill into your material. This is crucial for ensuring you don't damage what's on the other side or go deeper than needed.

2. Measure on Drill Bit

Using a ruler or tape measure, mark the desired depth on your drill bit with a permanent marker.

3. Tape Drill Bit

Wrap a piece of masking or painter's tape around the drill bit at the marked depth. Make sure the tape is wrapped tightly and securely.

4. Drill

Begin drilling into your material. Keep an eye on the tape as you drill. Stop drilling as soon as the tape touches the surface of your material. This indicates you've reached the desired depth.

Perfect Results: You've successfully drilled to the correct depth without going too far!
