An orbital drill includes a drilling portion, a shank portion, and a neck portion between the drilling portion and the shank portion. The drilling portion includes one or more right-handed spiral flutes with cutting edges having a positive axial rake angle for positive cutting action while orbiting into a material. The right-handed spiral flutes have a positive radial and axial rake angle. The drilling portion also includes one or more left-handed spiral flutes located rearward of the one or more right-handed spiral flutes with cutting edges having a positive axial and radial rake angle for positive cutting action while orbiting back out of the material and removing any material left in the hole, thereby eliminating a separate reaming operation. A method of machining a workpiece using the orbital drill is also disclosed.

Method for producing a threaded bore and tapping tool bit
10632553 · 2020-04-28 · ·

A method for producing a threaded bore in a workpiece with a tapping tool bit, which, at its drill bit tip, has a main cutting lip and a thread profile trailing in a tapping direction (I) with at least one thread cutting tooth, wherein, in a tapping stroke (G), the main cutting lip produces a core hole and, at the same time, the thread profile forms an internal thread at the inner wall of the core hole until reaching an intended thread depth (t.sub.G), specifically with a tapping feed (f.sub.G) in the tapping direction (I).

Cutting tool

A cutting tool comprises a tool body having a first end and a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the first end and the second end. The first end comprises two or more cutting portions, with each of the cutting portions comprising a cutting edge and a flank surface. Each cutting edge extends radially outwardly from a centre region of the first end to a perimetral edge of the first end, with the cutting edge being angled relative to the longitudinal axis. Each flank surface extends circumferentially from the cutting edge. Each of at least two of the two or more flank surfaces comprises an abrasive portion extending over at least a part of the respective flank surface and each abrasive portion comprises a plurality of abrasive features.
