  Profile of flute (Groove profile)
Profile of Flute

Due to its function as a channel system, the profile of flute promotes chip absorption and removal. The wider the groove profile, the better the chip absorption and removal.
Poor chip removal means a higher heat development, which in return can lead to annealing and ultimately to breakage of the twist drill. Wide groove profiles are flat, thin groove profiles are deep. The depth of the groove profile determines the thickness of the drill core. Flat groove profiles allow large (thick) core diameters. Deep groove profiles allow small (thin) core diameters.
