A drill is provided having a generally cylindrically shaped body. The body has a rear end structured to releasably connect with a torque transmitting machine in a conventional manner. The body has a forward end which is provided with diametrically opposed seats. Each seat releasably retains a cutting insert. Each cutting insert has a cutting edge projecting forwardly from the forward end of the body. Further, the cutting inserts are oriented so that one cutting edge is at a ten degree positive lead angle and the other cutting edge is at a five degree negative lead angle, the angles being measured normal to the center line of the drill. In operation, the drill is used to provide a bore hole in a workpiece, the bore hole having a predetermined perimeter. As the rotating drill contacts the workpiece, the cutting edges contact the workpiece in a predetermined, progressive manner which thereby creates a plurality of spaced apart circular notches of differing depth in the workpiece. The result is controlled, easily managed removal of chips of the material cut from the workpiece.
