Split Point Drill
Split point drills are suitable for almost all materials and are increasingly the point of choice in precision manufacturing industries. The points ability to remain stable, prevent wondering with excellent centering and high accuracy in tough and hard materials is the core reason for its popularity. The split point drill requires less cutting force than other points and features better chip removal through chip separation. Unlike the standard drill point, the split point is self-centering and therefore doesn’t require predrilling in the majority of applications. This point can also be found on deep hole drills and is an advanced form of cutting point.
