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.

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.

In an embodiment, an insert includes an upper surface including a corner part, a lower surface, a side surface, and a cutting edge. The side surface is between the upper surface and the lower surface. The cutting edge is at least at a part of a first region in which the upper surface intersects with the side surface. The cutting edge includes a first cutting edge at the corner part, a second cutting edge, a third cutting edge, and a fourth cutting edge. The second cutting edge is next to the first cutting edge, and also next to the third cutting edge. The third and fourth cutting edges: each have a convex curvilinear shape with first and second radii of curvature, respectively; and extend downward and upward, respectively, in a side view as going farther from the second cutting edge. The second radius smaller than the first radius.

A cutting head rotatable about a first axis, comprising an intermediate portion and a tip portion. The intermediate portion has a plurality of leading edges defining a cutting diameter, and the tip portion has an axially forwardmost tip point and a plurality of front surfaces with outer and inner cutting edges. An outer rake surface adjacent to each outer cutting edge has a positive outer rake angle, and an inner rake surface adjacent to each inner cutting edge has a negative inner rake angle. Each outer rake surface is disposed on a head flute intersecting one of the leading edges, and each inner rake surface is disposed on a gash intersecting one of the head flutes. Each gash extends to a gash path end point located a first distance axially rearward of the tip point, and the first distance is greater than thirty percent of the cutting diameter.

The invention relates to a conical countersink (10) having at least one main cutting edge (16-1, 16-2, 16-3) extending in an arc-shaped, in particular spiral-shaped manner.

A tool for producing an internal thread in a workpiece pilot hole having a thread major diameter and a thread minor diameter, which tool has a thread-forming section, by which an internal thread profile can be produced in a pilot hole wall. The internal thread profile having the thread major diameter and a thread inner diameter. The tool has a drilling section, by which the thread inner diameter of the internal thread profile can be expanded to the thread minor diameter by machining. At least one, in particular exactly one chip groove is associated with the drilling section of the tool, by which chip groove the chips produced as the thread inner diameter is expanded to the thread minor diameter can be transported away.

A rotary cutting tool with enhanced bump-off capability is disclosed. The cutting tool includes a tool shank having a pocket. A replaceable cutting head is at least partially disposed within the pocket of the tool shank with an interference fit. A coupling pin assembly is at least partially received within a bore of the tool shank. The coupling pin assembly comprises a sleeve member and a coupling pin at least partially disposed within the sleeve member. The sleeve member includes an upper portion and a lower portion having a non-circular cross-sectional shape with a bump-off surface. An actuation screw contacts the coupling pin assembly and causes the replaceable cutting head to move relative to the tool shank. The bump-off surface of the lower portion of the sleeve member extends radially outward with respect to the coupling pin by a distance, D, thereby providing enhanced bump-off capability.

The illustrative embodiment of the present invention uses a tangible three-dimensional structure as a fiducial mark, which structure is, at least partially, tolerant of dimensional variations in the article. The illustrative embodiment uses three such tangible three-dimensional structures: (1) a portion of a tangible conical surface, (2) a portion of a tangible spheroidal surface, and (3) a portion of a tangible pyramidal surface.

A drill according to a non-limiting aspect may have a body, a cutting edge, a rake face, and a groove. The cutting edge may have a curved chisel edge, a pair of first cutting edges, and a pair of second cutting edges. The second cutting edge may have a first portion extending from the chisel edge and a second portion extending from the first portion toward the first cutting edge. The rake face may have a first region extending from the first portion and a second region extending from the second portion. A first rake angle of the first region may be zero or a negative value. A second rake angle of the second region may be a negative value. An absolute value of the second rake angle may be greater than an absolute value of the first rake angle.
