Why the Four Facet Split Point Makes a Difference
The 118-degree four facet split point on these drills is like the sharp tip on a pencil that helps you start writing right where you want. It prevents the drill from wandering and ensures a clean, centered entry hole every time. Think of it as a guiding hand that keeps your drill steady and helps you avoid mistakes, especially when working on tight tolerances.
