c) Lip length
d) Overall length
Answer: c
Clarification: Lip length is the length measured between the chisel edge corner and the outer corner. Body length is the length measured along the axis between the dead centre and start of a neck.
4. In twist drills, length measured along the axis between the dead centre and the extreme end of the tang is known as
a) Body length
b) Flute length
c) Lip length
d) Overall length
Answer: d
Clarification: Overall length is the length measured along the axis between the dead centre and the extreme end of the tang. Body length is the length measured along the axis between the dead centre and start of neck.
