  • Patent number: 9901991
    Abstract: Provided is a drill suitable for high-efficiency working. A cut debris discharge groove is formed in the outer periphery of the drill body front end section rotated about the axis, and a cutting edge is formed at the front end of the drill body. The wall surface of the cut debris discharge groove, which faces the rotational direction of the drill, is formed to have a concave curve line shape in a cross-section perpendicular to the axis, the concave curve line shape extending along a first circular arc.

  • Publication number: 20170274461
    Abstract: A drill comprising: a drill main body; a chip discharge flute; and a tip cutting edge. The tip cutting edge includes: a first tip cutting edge which extends toward the axially posterior end as it goes toward the outside in a radial direction; and a second tip cutting edge which is disposed outside the first tip cutting edge in the radial direction. The second tip cutting edge extends toward the tip in the axis direction as it goes toward the outside in the radial direction or extends to be perpendicular to the axis. The radially inner end of the second tip cutting edge is disposed on the axially posterior end with respect to the radially outer end of the first tip cutting edge. The radially outer end of the second tip cutting edge is disposed on a virtual extension line of the first tip cutting edge.

  • Publication number: 20170066062
    Abstract: A drill including: a drill main body that rotates about an axis of the drill main body; a chip discharge groove formed on an outer periphery of a tip portion of the drill main body; and a cutting edge formed on the tip portion of the drill main body, a rake face of the cutting edge being a wall surface of the chip discharge groove facing a rotation direction of the drill is provided. The cutting edge includes: a major cutting edge portion provided on an inner peripheral side of the tip portion of the drill main body; a chamfer portion provided on a posterior outer-peripheral side relative to the major cutting edge portion; and a convex curved portion that is provided between the major cutting edge portion and the chamfer portion, the convex curved portion being directed toward a posterior end side of the drill main body from the inner peripheral side to the outer peripheral side with a convex curved shape viewed from a side facing the rake face.

  • Publication number: 20160207119
    Abstract: Provided is a drill suitable for high-efficiency working. A cut debris discharge groove is formed in the outer periphery of the drill body front end section rotated about the axis, and a cutting edge is formed at the front end of the drill body. The wall surface of the cut debris discharge groove, which faces the rotational direction of the drill, is formed to have a concave curve line shape in a cross-section perpendicular to the axis, the concave curve line shape extending along a first circular arc.

  • Patent number: 9352399
    Abstract: A drill comprises a drill body that is rotatable on an axis. Chip evacuating flutes, which are open on front flanks of the drill body and are extended rearwards, are formed in a periphery of the drill body on its front side. Cutting edges are formed along ridge lines where the front flanks intersect with wall surfaces of the chip evacuating flutes facing a drill rotating direction. At least first and second front flanks are formed on the front flanks in order of their locations in the drill rotating direction from its leading side to its trailing side. A clearance angle of the second front flank is greater than that of the first front flank. Intersection lines of the first and second front flanks cross the cutting edges.

  • Patent number: 9216460
    Abstract: A coolant-hole equipped drill includes a drill main body, a cutting edge portion which has a tip flank, a chip discharging groove provided with a front groove wall surface and a rear groove wall surface, a cutting edge formed at a ridge line portion where the front groove wall surface and the tip flank intersect with each other, a land portion formed between the chip discharging grooves adjacent to each other in the rotating direction, and a coolant hole drilled at the land portion and opened at the tip flank. The coolant hole includes a front hole wall surface, a rear hole wall surface, and an outer-circumference hole wall surface.

  • Patent number: 8876445
    Abstract: A guide portion prevents the drilling hole from curving due to a skipping rope phenomenon, and also prevents the inner wall face of the drilling hole from being damaged, so that its surface roughness can be improved. Chip evacuating flutes 4 are formed in the periphery of a drill body 1 which has a stick shape and is rotatable on its axis O, from its front flank 3 toward the rear side. Cutting edges 2A are formed along ridge lines where the front flanks 3 intersect with wall faces 4A which are in the chip evacuating flutes 4 and face in a drill rotational direction T. A cutting edge section 2, where the cutting edges 2A are formed, is provided in the front side of the drill body 1. A cutting edge section 2 has an external diameter which is smaller toward the rear side in the axis O direction than the external diameter D at the cutting edges 2A. A guide portion 6 has a maximum external diameter part 6A at the front periphery side, and is provided to the rear side of the cutting edge section 2.
