ABSTRACT:
A new cutting tip and a very simple method for making the tip are given. The tip has no flutes but has a built-in chip clearance. It is self-drilling, self-tapping, and self-locating and can be positioned on a threaded or unthreaded member. When it is the tip on a suture anchor, it maximizes holding strength of the anchor.
