Split Points - Drill Master 500X User Manual

Split Points

Split point drill bits prevent "walking" on the material before they
begin to cut. This feature is described as self-centering. The need
to center punch is effectively eliminated.
Split point drill bits have secondary cutting lips along the chisel
edge. Up to 70% less thrust is required to drill a hole (when
compared to a non-split or conventional point.)
