A drill bit is provided which has a central tine and first and second cutting tines, provided one on each side of the central tine. The lowermost end of each of the cutting tines is sharpened for cutting the stock. Thus the drill bit cores the material to form a hole thereby reducing the amount of material that must be cutaway. Further, the cutting tines are formed so as to have an enlarged distal head so that the main body portion of each of the tines has a slightly smaller cross-section than the cutting head. In this manner, friction can be reduced between the edges of the tines and the edges of the material being worked. Even further, the tine bit includes cutting blades between the central tine and the cutting tines in the event the stock is thicker than the length of the cutting tines.
