The point angle of a drill, for drilling stainless steel, is

A. 90°

B. 118°

C. 135°

D. 150°

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The point angle is located at the head of the twist drill. For hard materials such as stainless steel, the point angle should be large and e.g. 130° or 135°. For soft materials, point angles of e.g. 118° are used. With a large point angle, more of the cutting edge engages in the workpiece when drilling
