A surgical drill bit is formed by a cylindrical body that comprises a distal fluted drill section, a fluted midsection and a proximal drive transmission shank. The distal end of the drill section forms the drill point of the surgical bit and comprises at least two opposed cutting edges that extend from the tip of the drill point to the leading edge of a land defined by the outer surface of a respective drill point flute. The outside diameter of the midsection is less than the outside diameter of the drill section. In cross section the flute consists of a land radially extending from an enlarged central web. A small conical tip is concentrically located on the drill point.
