Easy arrow straight drilling on that one. It's one piece made to look like two tied together. Look closely and you can visualize exactly where it's drilled. Even if they needed to change the angle of the draft drilling and keyhole it the band would cover the little bite in the end of the shank
I really don’t get how they drill the holes on these!

Image
They used to splice parts of the shank together years ago, probably got some newfangled technique nowadays.
Good afternoon.

I investigated this years ago and I found out they used drill bits that can drill a curved hole. I saw a picture that didn't really tell me exactly how they worked.
God and Texas!

Yep I have drill bits that do that when I’m drilling stone and a hard inclusion gets in the way :twisted:

I don't think that's the same thing.
