A drill bit having a longitudinal axis to perform a drilling operation. A tapered tip extends from the proximal end and terminates in an apexat an end of the drill bit. The drill bit also comprises a plurality of flutes with each flute extending helically along the body into the tip. The drill bit also comprises a land between each of the flutes extends to the tip. The drill bit also comprises a plurality of tip faces on the tip and extends from a corresponding land to the apex, where each of the tip faces has a tip face leading edge and a tip face trailing edge. Each of tip face leading edges forms an intersection with an adjacent one of the flutes to provide a plurality of primary cutting edges. Each of the flutes (140) helically extends in an opposite direction to the drilling direction.
