In the drill bit thread one person (atleast) mentioned 118 degree drill
bits. Many of the sets listed for sale (those that say) are 135 degree.
What is the significant difference? (Other than 17 degrees. LOL.)
118 degre is a standard point, 135 degree is usually a split point
which is self centering.
I put split points in my 118's all the time. So there has to be more
difference than that.
