Publication number: 20190193226Abstract: The radial run-out tool (2), particularly a drill or a cutter, has a basic body (12) extending in an axial direction (4) and comprises at least two chip grooves (14), to which a guide chamfer (22) is connected in the rotational direction (24), with a ridge (15) being formed between them. A radial clearance is connected to the guide chamfer (22). In order to enable simple and economical production of such type of radial run-out tool (2), an unprocessed rod (30) is ground non-concentrically, in a first process step, such that a radius (R) of the unprocessed rod (30) varies, depending on the angle, between a maximum radius (R2) and a minimum radius (R1). In a second process step, the chip grooves (14) are grounded down such that the guide chamfers (22) are formed at the positions with the maximum radius (R2) and the radius (R) is subsequently reduced downstream of the respective guide chamfer (22) in order to form the radial clearance (28).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2019Publication date: June 27, 2019Inventor: Herbert Rudolf KAUPER
