Notched point is a variation on the standard chisel point, providing faster starting and reduced drill wander.
118º point angles are ideal for use in materials such as mild steel and cast iron.
The 118º point creates easily controlled chips which are wide and thin.
Bordo reduced shank HSS drills are ground and then a black finish is achieved by steam tempering, a thermal process resulting in a porous tool coating.
This surface aids chip flow and heat dissipation.
The drill is then ground a second time to achieve a bright finish on the shank and cutting edges.
