Q

If the drill point lips are ground at different angles, the drill will __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Drill point geometry and how equal lip angles affect cutting • What happens when one lip of a drill bit cuts more than the other • Effects on hole size, heat, and chip formation when the drill is unbalanced

💭 Think About

• Think about which lip will bite into the metal more if the angles are different and how that affects the path of the drill • Consider what an unbalanced cutting action would do to the diameter and shape of the hole • Ask yourself whether unequal lips would make the drill smoother and cooler, or rougher and more likely to wander

✅ Before You Answer

• Compare what condition is most likely when one side cuts more aggressively than the other: oversize vs. binding vs. overheating • Visualize the drill from the end: if one lip is longer or at a shallower angle, which side removes more material? What does that do to the hole? • Eliminate any options that describe results more related to speed, feed, or lubrication rather than lip angle geometry
