      <p class="para_topic">Cutting tools used for the hole making processes, are rotating end cutting or side cutting tools having one or more cutting tips, and one or more helical or straight flutes for the passage of chips. They are available in a wider variety of types of geometries. The most common are helical fluted hoist drills with various shanks, and tip geometries. The following is a list of hole making tools available in the system. </p>
