Abstract

A drill bit having a generally cylindrical body with a working end and flutes extending along the body. The working end is formed with a central work-engaging point and a pair of slitting spurs spaced outwardly from the point adjacent edge margins of the body. Convexly contoured portions interconnect the point and spurs to permit sharpening with a round file.
