What is the benefit of the split point design?

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not cutting effectively.

Check the drill speed; adjust as necessary for the material. Ensure sufficient pressure is applied. Check for bit wear and replace if dull.

Hole is not round or is oversized.

Ensure the drill bit is perpendicular to the work surface. Reduce drilling speed and apply even pressure.
