Abstract

An improved drill bit for drilling Kevlar laminates or the like, has a pair of helical edges each terminating in an outer cutting point; a center point; and concavely curved cutting edges extending between the center point and each of the outer cutting point. The cutting edges curve back sharply from the cutting points in a plane transverse to the longitudinal drill bit axis and in a direction opposite to normal rotation of said drill bit so as to draw material served by the cutting points radially inwardly from the edge of a bore. A method is disclosed for modifying a conventional drill point to the novel configuration by grinding on a grinding wheel.
