In drilling very thin stock the drill, if not properly ground, will tear the metal and leave a ragged edge. To cut a hole through neatly the drill should be ground as illustrated. The center A should extend about 1/64 in. beyond the points B. The point A locates the center and the sharp points B cut out the disk of metal. Holes have been neatly and quickly made with this drill grinding in metal measuring .002 in. thickness. - Contributed by Joseph J. Kolar, Maywood, III.
