What is the lip angle on drill bit

Question

Accepted Answer

The lip angle on a drill bit refers to the angle formed between the cutting edge of the drill bit and the surface of the material being drilled.

The lip angle affects the cutting action and chip formation during drilling.
A smaller lip angle provides a more aggressive cutting action, but may cause the drill bit to wander or chatter.
A larger lip angle provides a more controlled cutting action, but may generate more heat.
Common lip angles for drill bits range from 118 degrees to 135 degrees.
Different materials and drilling applications may require specific lip angles for optimal performance.
