In addition, the chip-forming device can comprise a functional coating (29a, 29b) which is made especially of hard material and is applied after providing the drill with the exterior shape thereof.
Abstract: A gun drill in which coolant delivered to a cutting part can be discharged intensively to a cutting chip discharge groove along with the chips, damage on the inner circumference of a drilled hole or fall of machining precision due to clogging with chips can be prevented, and cutting efficiency is enhanced by reducing rotary load and long lifetime can be attained. Coolant supply paths (10, 20) are provided in a tool shank (1) and a cutting head (2), one cutting chip discharge groove (3) is provided in the outer circumferential surface from the proximal side of the tool shank (1) to the distal end of the cutting head (2), discharge ports (22a, 22b) communicating with coolant delivery ports (21a, 21b) and a cutting chip discharge groove (3) are provided in the distal end face (2c) of the cutting head (2), and annular protrusions (4a) are formed in the outer circumferential surface of the cutting head (2) continuously over the entire circumference while bridging over the cutting chip discharge groove (3).
Abstract: The invention relates to a cemented carbide material having a hard phase including tungsten carbide (WC) grains having an average grain size of 0.3 microns or less and also including cobalt (Co) as a bonding phase. The material also includes cobalt tungsten carbide grains that have a smaller average grain size than that of the tungsten carbide grains. The cemented carbide material has use, among others, in making cutting tools.
Abstract: A spark plug orientation method may include forming a spark plug housing by advancing a tool a first distance in a first axial direction into a spark plug bore to create a spark plug seat using a seat forming portion of the tool. The tool may be displaced a second distance in a second axial direction generally opposite the first axial direction to provide a predetermined axial orientation between the thread forming portion of the tool and the spark plug seat. The spark plug bore may be engaged at a first predetermined rotational position and the tool may be displaced in an orbital motion and in the second axial direction at a predetermined rate to form a threading on the spark plug bore providing a starting point of the threading at a second predetermined rotational position proximate the spark plug seat.
