Abstract: A single point drill particularly adapted to producing small diameter deep holes utilizing a peck feed cycle routine. The preferred embodiment features a limited flute length with a depth approximately 1/3 the drill diameter and a dual point edge consisting of a shallow cutting angle and a steep relief angle. A negative rake angle runs along this edge functioning as a knife edge that will cut on opposite rotation, countering the unbalanced forces inherent in a single point tool. A sharpening fixture consisting of 2 parallel slates secured with a T-headed bolt and an anti-rotation pin. The lower plate features a central groove to locate the drill, the upper plate having a short land that facilitates orienting and clamping the drill flute. The forward end of the fixture mimics the drill point allowing the drill to be sharpened on a grinder table or by hand with a suitable abrasive stone or file.
