|  |   Point Geometry
        
        
          | Hyper Tool has developed 6 different point grinds which we have 
            found successful for drilling various materials. It is important 
            that the forces on the inner and outer cutting edges be balanced in 
            order to minimize hole runout, which means the relationship between 
            the inner and outer angles and the point location be coordinated. A 
            more detailed listing of recommended end clearances will be added 
            later.
