Practical limits of the 118 degree conventional
The 118 degree conventional point works well for general purpose drilling in steel and cast iron but is not suited for hard materials or high precision hole finishing. Users requiring split point geometry, cobalt alloy substrates or specialised coatings for stainless steel or exotic alloys should select a different drill bit.
