  • Patent number: 9981322
    Abstract: A drill includes a cutting edge. The cutting edge has a point angle which is continuously decreased from a center-position point angle A (herein, 0°<A<180°) at a center position to a maximum-diameter-position point angle of 0° at a maximum diameter position. The cutting edge has a relief angle which is continuously decreased from the center position to the maximum diameter position. The cutting edge of the drill has a relief angle at the maximum diameter position. Hence, the cutting edge also serves as a cutting edge for reaming. The ridgeline and relief face of the cutting edge have no corner, thereby providing good wear resistance.

  • Patent number: 9409239
    Abstract: Provided is a step-shaped drill bit including at least two stepped cutting edges that are axially provided. A cutting edge of a first step from a tip is formed so as to satisfy at least one of the following conditions. That is, a number of blades is smaller, a point angle of the cutting edge is larger, or a clearance angle of the cutting edge is larger than that of cutting edges of a second and subsequent step(s). As a result, a thrust resistance during a perforation can be reduced compared with a case in which the first step cutting edge is formed such that the number of blades, the point angle of the cutting edge and the clearance angle of the cutting edge are the same as those of the second and subsequent step(s).
