The two-fluted type, sometimes called slot drills, have flutes which meet at the cutting end, forming two cutting lips across the bottom. These lips are of different lengths, one extending beyond the centre axis of the cutter. This arrangement eliminates the centre and permits the two-flute end mill to be used in a milling machine for drilling a hole to start a slot that does not extend to the edge of the metal. 2, record 1, English, - slot%20drill
