What is a drill point?

A drill point is the tip of a drill bit that is designed to penetrate a material when drilling. It typically features a sharp, angled cutting edge that allows for efficient cutting and material removal. The geometry of the drill point can vary depending on the type of drill bit and the material being drilled, with common shapes including standard, split, or brad point designs. Proper drill point design is crucial for ensuring accurate holes and minimizing wear on the tool.
