1.Types of drill bit：
ST(Straight Tool )：
drill for general drilling.
MD(Micro Drill) ：
Drilling pin with hole diameter below 0.4mm (inclusive)
For small aperture machining
SD(Slotting Drill)：

•ST
♦ Basically more regrind frequency than UC type
•UC
♦ The hole wall quality can be improved by reducing the area in contact with the substrate
6.ST、UC Design advantages and disadvantages:
| UC design advantages | Design advantages and disadvantages |
| High-quality drilling quality, low drilling temperature, low nail head, glue residue, and breakage rate | Simple operation, easy diameter control, more grinding frequency |
| The low breakage rate reduces the drilling torque resistance. | Large range of use, used for general purpose |
| Conducive to micro-drills and PCB boards with more than 6 layers | It is good for general diameter drill bit, double face plate and multi face plate under 6 layers. |
