  • Patent number: 11691206
    Abstract: A tool tip is integral with or removably secured to a tool body and configured to machine a metal object. The tool tip has a tool tip diameter, a rotational axis and at least one coolant duct. The tool tip includes at least one major cutting edge formed at an intersection of a rake face and a first major flank. The rake face forms part of a chip flute. The coolant duct is configured to be in flow communication with discharge orifices located exclusively in the tool tip. The tool tip has an arrangement, such as a row of two or more discharge orifices located exclusively in the rake face of a major cutting edge. The arrangement extends at a non-zero angle relative to the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 11642728
    Abstract: A twist drill and an exchangeable head for a twist drill, the twist drill extending along a central axis of rotation and having a front end formed as a drill point with two cutting edges and at least two clearance surfaces. Two helical chip flutes conduct chips away from the cutting edges. Each cutting edge extends in a transition between the clearance surfaces. One of the chip flutes extends from an inner position adjacent to the central axis to a peripheral envelope surface and has a main portion closest to the peripheral envelope surface. Each chip flute is delimited by a side surface including a main rake face, which extends rearward from the main portion of the cutting edge. The cutting edges are contained in an imaginary conical surface, such that the twist drill is operable to generate a bottom profile having the shape of an inverted cone.
