Here in the UK it is the norm to call insert drills U-Drills.
Specifically insert drills, not exchangeable head drills or spade drills.
I've noticed that the term is rarely ever used on here, and incidentally, that "insert drill" seems to be used somewhat interchangeably between actual insert drills and exchangeable head drills, which sometimes causes confusion.
For some reason, I found myself wondering where the term U-Drill actually comes from? Something to do with U axis? Something to do with having one (Uni) effective flute?
Anyone know?
