Spotweld removal tool

A split point twist drill including a generally cylindrical body having a predetermined diameter, an outer periphery, a longitudinal axis and first and second opposite ends, at least said first end including a cutting tip coincidental with said axis and having a pair of generally opposite cutting tip surfaces extending outwardly away from said axis and sloping toward said second end, each of said cutting tip surfaces having a leading edge and an outer edge intersecting one another at an included angle along said surface of less than 90.degree., each of said cutting tip surfaces sloping away from a perpendicular relationship with said axis and toward said second end at a common angle between 5.degree.-20.degree., said cutting tip surfaces together across said outer edges thereof spanning between 25-50% of said predetermined diameter of said body, said cutting tip including a pair of generally opposite walls extending outwardly from said outer edges of said cutting tip surfaces toward said second end, each of said walls flaring outwardly slightly in a direction from said outer edges of said cutting tip surfaces toward said second end, each of said walls being inclined outwardly away from a parallel relationship with said axis at a common angle between 5.degree.-20.degree., a pair of generally opposite generally flat surfaces adjacent said outer periphery of said body, each of said generally flat surfaces having an inner edge spaced inwardly toward said axis from said outer periphery, each said generally flat surface sloping from said inner edge thereof away from a perpendicular relationship with said axis toward said second end at a common shallow angle, said generally flat surfaces together spanning between 5-25% of said diameter of said body, a pair of generally opposite recessed surfaces extending between said walls and said inner edges of said generally flat surfaces, each of said recessed surfaces sloping outwardly from its associated said wall away from a perpendicular relationship with said axis and away from said second end at a common angle between 5-20%, said recessed surfaces having leading cutting edges and trailing edges that gradually diverge from one another continuously in a direction extending from said longitudinal axis toward said outer periphery.
