A rotary tool comprising two coupling parts, namely a carrier and a cutting head in a front end surface. The carrier comprises a pin receptacle into which a coupling pin of the cutting head is inserted. In order to prevent pulling-out in an axial direction, stop surfaces are provided on the pin receptacle and on the coupling pin, said stop surfaces being effective in an axial direction. For a design that is as simple as possible, in particular with regard to grinding, each stop surface of the coupling pin is adjoined by a lateral surface which freely tapers off in the direction toward the end surface as viewed in the axial direction. In particular, the lateral surface constitutes a torque surface.

A tool coupling used for a clamping connection between two coupling parts, in particular between a cutting head and a carrier of a rotary tool, in particular of a drill. The coupling parts comprise clamping sections, which respectively correspond to one another and which can be clamped against each other by turning counter to a predefined direction of rotation about an axis of rotation so that a press fit is produced. In order to produce a high clamping force and at the same time allow for a simple installation via screwing in, each clamping section comprises several successive clamping surfaces whichwith respect to a cross section viewed orthogonally to the axial directionrespectively travel along a circular arc, wherein the diameter increases for clamping surfaces succeeding one another in the direction of rotation.

A drill has a replaceable cutting head mounted to a shank in an interlocking fashion. The shank has a pocket with at least one flat, vertically-angled retention surface located closer to a rotational axis than at least one driving surface. Similarly, the cutting head has at least one vertically-angled retention surface located closer to the rotational axis of the drill than at least one driven surface. As a result of the relative locations between the surfaces with respect to the rotational axis, the stresses and fatigue imposed on the drill are minimized, thereby prolonging tool life.

A cutting head is formed for insertion into a support in a modular rotary tool, in particular a drill. It has a coupling pin onto which outer cover surfaces and torque surfaces are formed as clamping surfaces. The coupling pin has a particular circular groove, which divides the cutting head into a front pin part and a rear pin part. Stop surfaces for an axial pullout safety are formed in the transition area between the two parts. The torque surfaces and the clamping surfaces are arranged in different pin parts. The torque surfaces are preferably formed in the rear pin part.

A rotary tool, in particular drilling tool, extends along a longitudinal axis and has an end surface; a brad point; and at least one major cutting edge extending outward up to an edge corner. A first free surface segment adjoins the major cutting edge, and a second free surface segment in turn adjoins said first free surface segment. To keep the stress, in particular the wear, low in the region of the end surface, the first free surface segment has a lower average abrasiveness than the second free surface segment.

A tool coupling arrangement for drills and reamers includes tool and shank portions with respective tool and shank axial stoppers. An at least partially cylindrical tool coupling end of the tool portion is located within a longitudinal through forward bore portion in the shank portion, and being coupled therein via an elongated coupling member located further inwards in the shank portion and comprising axially opposite member coupling and pulling ends. The forward bore portion has front and rear sub-portions and a bore recess which is located therebetween and extends radially outwardly. In a locked position, the tool axial stopper abuts the shank axial stopper. The tool coupling end abuts the front and rear sub-portions. And the member coupling end is wedged between the tool coupling end and the bore recess.

A cutting element for use in a cutting operation, comprising a cutting edge (CE) capable of cutting out material from a workpiece during the operation, to form therein a workpiece corner of angle alpha. There exists at least one view of the cutting edge in which a portion of the cutting edge is delimitable by a first (L1) and a second (L2) line oriented tangentially to the portion of the cutting edge portion at respective tangency points A and B. The lines form therebetween a cutting angle corresponding to the workpiece corner angle alpha and have a vertex 0. For a bisector of the cutting angle intersecting the portion of the cutting edge at the point C, the projection C of the point C of the portion of the cutting edge on a line OL passing through the vertex 0 perpendicularly to the plane of the one view is located between projections A1 and B of the respective points A and B of the portion of the cutting edge on the line OL.

The invention is directed to a drill system that better uses the power curve of modern machine tools. The drill system uses IC inserts to perform the major hole diameter cutting, and a central drilling system that cuts the remaining minor diameter portion of the hole, and is configured to see less cutting surface footage, due to its position from the rotating center of the tool. A connection between the drill head and a holder body secures the drill head in a manner to effectively absorb lateral drilling forces. The drill system allows for a large diameter deep hole that remains straight throughout to be drilled at higher speed and lighter feed rates thus offering a more productive tool that takes advantage of the power curves and lower thrust capabilities of modern machine tools.

A tool for machining a workpiece. The tool comprises a first tool component which comprises a first internal coolant bore and, on a first face side end, a first connection interface, wherein the first connection interface comprises a first end face for attaching a joining material as well as an elevation which protrudes from the first end face, wherein a first coolant outlet of the first internal coolant bore is arranged on the elevation. In addition, the tool comprises a second tool component which comprises a second internal coolant bore and, on a second face side end, a second connection interface, wherein the second connection interface comprises a second end face for attaching the joining material as well as a recess provided in the second end face, wherein a second coolant outlet of the second internal coolant bore is arranged in the recess. The first tool component and the second tool component are joined together by means of the joining material attached to the first and second end face in such a manner that the first coolant outlet is aligned with the second coolant outlet.

A replaceable cutting head includes a forward cutting portion and a rearward mounting portion. The mounting portion includes a male coupling member that protrudes rearwardly from a head base surface. The male coupling member includes forward and rearward bearing portions and an external thread located therebetween. The forward and rearward bearing portions include respective conically shaped forward and rearward head abutment surface. The forward and rearward head abutment surfaces have the same cone angle. When a cutting tool, including said cutting head and a tool holder having a female coupling member, is in a locked position, the external thread is threadingly engaged in the female coupling member and the forward and rearward head abutment surfaces conically abut corresponding conical shaped surfaces in the female coupling member.
