Drills and methods of using the same

A method of removing material from a workpiece, comprising:

• plunging a drill into the workpiece, wherein the drill comprises:
• a plurality of lands that extend to a cutting edge, wherein adjacent lands are separated by flutes comprising a base contour arranged in a generally helical configuration along a centerline axis of a drill body;
• a plurality of contoured drill points each comprising a linear portion that extends from an outer diameter of the drill body, and an arcuate portion that extends from the linear portion and towards a chisel of the drill body, wherein the linear portion and the arcuate portion are evaluated viewing a normal to a plane that extends between the centerline axis of the drill body and a land of the plurality of lands and wherein the linear portion and the arcuate portion of the contoured drill points are tangent with one another, wherein the chisel is formed from a convergence of all the arcuate portions;
• and
• a plurality of gash contours positioned within the plurality of flutes, the gash contours extending from the chisel of the drill body, wherein the gash contours are oblique to the base contours of the flutes;
• forming a first chip configuration with a portion of a cutting lip formed by the gash contours and the contoured drill points;
• and
• forming a second chip configuration with a portion of the cutting lip formed by the base contours and the contoured drill points.
