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. A standard drill bit chisel
point has to wear an area in the middle of the hole to be drilled
before the cutting edges will remove material. Due to its addition-
al cutting lips along the chisel edge, a split point will begin cutting
immediately. Up to 70% less thrust (when compared to a non-split
or conventional point) is required to drill a hole with a split point.
Optional Step: Splitting the Point
