With its flat bottom (as opposed to the pointy end of a drill bit), you can expose more copper in a flat-bottomed hole.</p>

I once had to do something like this to access the traces on the internal layers of a 6 layer PCB. It was very tedious. That taught me to think twice about putting traces on internal layers if I wasn't 100% certain that part of the design would work.</p>
