This technical reference document discusses different methods for thinning the webs of twist drills, including conventional point drilling which needs no thinning, conventional web thinning which removes stock to follow the flute contour, flatted lip thinning which thins the web by flattening the flute face and eliminates hogging in, split point thinning using two back-off grinds almost to the center, and gash thinning using two half-round gashes near the center to reduce the web.
