A method of manufacturing a drill bit includes providing a piece of bar stock having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an axis of rotation extending centrally through the bar stock between the first and second ends, cutting the first end of the bar stock to form a first tip angle at an oblique angle measured through the axis of rotation, cutting the first end of the bar stock at a second tip angle measured through the axis of rotation to form first tip surfaces and second tip surfaces. The first tip surfaces have the first tip angle and the second tip surfaces have the second tip angle. The second tip angle is smaller than the first tip angle. Finally forming a flute in the bar stock between the first and second ends and forming a shank at the second end of the bar stock.

A drill bit for drilling into bone, including at least a first, second and third longitudinally extending substantially straight flute blades, wherein the drill bit has an extrapolated outer profile established by rotation of the first, second and third flute blades 360 degrees about a longitudinal axis thereof, the extrapolated outer profile includes a first surface having tangents more perpendicular than parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the extrapolated outer profile includes a second surface having tangents more parallel than perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

In this small-diameter drill bit, two cutting blades having main cutting blades, of which a difference between lengths are 0.04 mm or less, are formed on a tip of a double-margin drill bit body having a diameter of 2 mm or less and a margin length/diameter ratio of 3 or more. Two tip flank faces are formed such that a first extension line extending from a linear first intersecting ridgeline between a first tip flank face and a second tip flank face of one of the flank faces to the linear first intersecting ridgeline of the other flank face is located on a side in the drill bit rotation direction with respect to the other linear first intersecting ridgeline. A distance between the first extension line and the linear first intersecting ridgeline is in a range of 0.04 mm-0.08 mm.

A drill bit includes a body having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and an axis of rotation extending centrally through the body. The drill bit includes a cutting head with a cutting tip on the axis of rotation and a cutting portion. The cutting portion includes first tip surfaces on opposite sides of the axis of rotation and second tip surfaces on opposite sides of the axis of rotation. Each first tip surface extends radially outward from the cutting tip to a corresponding second tip surface. Each second tip surface extends from a corresponding first tip surface to an outer periphery of the body. The first tip surfaces define a first tip angle measured through the axis of rotation that is oblique. The second tip surfaces define a second tip angle measured through the axis of rotation that is smaller than the first tip angle.

A drill includes a leading end portion. The leading end portion is flat and has at least two cutting blades extending from a rotation center toward outside in a radial direction. The each cutting blade includes an arc-shaped portion. An inside linear portion is formed in a linear shape and connects to one end of the arc-shaped portion on the rotation center side. An outside linear portion is formed in a linear shape and connects to another end of the arc-shaped portion on an opposite side to the one end. The arc-shaped portion has a cutting edge provided with an arc-shaped portion chamfered surface. The inside linear portion and the outside linear portion each has a cutting edge provided with a linear portion chamfered surface. A drill axis direction width of the arc-shaped portion chamfered surface is smaller than a drill axis direction width of the linear portion chamfered surface.

According to one implementation, a drill includes the first cutting edges, the second cutting edges and a deflection reducer. The first cutting edges drill a prepared hole to a workpiece. The first cutting edges are formed in a tip side of the drill. The first point angle and each first relief angle of the first cutting edges continuously or intermittently decrease from the tip side toward a rear end side of the drill. The second cutting edges ream the prepared hole. The second cutting edges are formed at positions away in the rear end side from the first cutting edges. The second cutting edges have the second relief angles at a maximum diameter position. The deflection reducer reduces deflection of the second cutting edges. The deflection reducer is formed between the first cutting edges and the second cutting edges. The deflection reducer is inserted into the prepared hole.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a sintered component, which can suppress occurrence of edge chipping when a through-hole is formed in a powder-compact green body and also has a good productivity. The method for manufacturing a sintered component includes a molding step of press-molding a raw material powder containing a metal powder and thus fabricating a powder-compact green body; a drilling step of forming a hole in the powder-compact green body using a drill; a sintering step of sintering the powder-compact green body after drilling, wherein the drill used for drilling has a circular-arc shaped cutting edge on a point portion thereof.

A drill bit for drilling into bone, including at least a first, second and third longitudinally extending substantially straight flute blades, wherein the drill bit has an extrapolated outer profile established by rotation of the first, second and third flute blades 360 degrees about a longitudinal axis thereof, the extrapolated outer profile includes a first surface having tangents more perpendicular than parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the extrapolated outer profile includes a second surface having tangents more parallel than perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

A twist drill and an exchangeable head for a twist drill, the twist drill extending along a central axis of rotation and having a front end formed as a drill point with two cutting edges and at least two clearance surfaces. Two helical chip flutes conduct chips away from the cutting edges. Each cutting edge extends in a transition between the clearance surfaces. One of the chip flutes extends from an inner position adjacent to the central axis to a peripheral envelope surface and has a main portion closest to the peripheral envelope surface. Each chip flute is delimited by a side surface including a main rake face, which extends rearward from the main portion of the cutting edge. The cutting edges are contained in an imaginary conical surface, such that the twist drill is operable to generate a bottom profile having the shape of an inverted cone.

A metal drilling tool comprising includes a middle axis, a front side and an opposite end, with at least two cutting edges arranged in a region of the front side, a first free surface being associated with each cutting edge. The at least two cutting edges lie on an imaginary first conical surface arranged concentrically in relation to the middle axis, with a first conical angle that opens up towards the opposite end and reaches a maximum of 180°. A centering section includes at least three edges, at least three side surfaces and an imaginary base surface. At least two of the edges lie on an imaginary second conical surface which is arranged concentrically in relation to the middle axis and has a second conical angle that opens up towards the opposite end. The second conical angle is smaller than the first conical angle, such that the imaginary second conical surface, seen from the opposite end, projects opposite the front surface.
