Benni.
Centre drills are for making tapered holes, to locate on to a lathe centre.....

Spotting drills are for making a starting dimple for drilling, in CNC machining.
The dimple is often made wider than the drilled hole, to leave a chamfer around the finished hole.......

And, there is no tiny centre pip to break off.........   :bang: :bang:
