    The shorter the tool is relative to its diameter the faster it can be fed through the material. A ratio of 3:1 (L:D) or under is optimum. [5] If that ratio cannot be achieved, a solution like this depicted here can be used. [6] For holes, the length to diameter ratio of the tools are less critical, but should still be kept under 10:1.
