The cross-section of the shank is V-shaped with coolant holes. It is made of hardened steel that is highly resistant to twisting. This cross-section provides the optimal conditions for twist Standard Gundrill Head Sharpening Angles Subject to the required tolerance, cutting performance resistance, coolant flow and chip evacuation. and desired chip shape, the following standard sharpening Driver angles are recommended (shown in figures 1 and 2).
