The invention concerns a method and a grinding machine (4) for machining a workpiece (1) comprising a desired helical groove. The method comprises a step of grinding a calibration groove (12) on the surface (10) of the workpiece according to a predetermined helix pattern of the desired helical groove and by means of an abrasive wheel (2) of the grinding machine. The calibration groove (12) has a calibration length that is equal or smaller than the predetermined length of the desired helical groove and has a calibration depth (120) that is smaller than the predetermined depth of the desired helical groove. The method comprises steps of: determine an abrasive wheel dimension (22, 23, 24, 25) of the abrasive wheel (2) by measuring the calibration depth; and using the determined wheel dimension (22, 23, 24, 25) for grinding the desired helical groove by means of the abrasive wheel (2).

A cutting and deburring tool according to some embodiments of the disclosure includes a body portion configured to cut a hole in the workpiece, and a workpiece engaging portion and a shaft extending therefrom. The body portion includes a cutting edge configured to cut a hole in a workpiece and deburring cutting edges configured to deburr a first edge of a hole of a workpiece when the body portion is rotated in a clockwise direction or in a counter-clockwise direction after the hole is cut by the body portion. In some embodiments, a second body portion is provided and includes deburring cutting edges configured to deburr a second, opposite edge of the hole when the body portions are rotated in rotated in the clockwise direction or the counter-clockwise direction after the hole is cut by the first body portion.

In order, in a drill tip (2) which is provided particularly for a modular drilling tool, to generate a ridge (18) with supporting chamfers (26, 28) in a simple way, a non-round grinding method is provided, in which, proceeding from a starting rotary position (30) which corresponds to a cutting corner position, the radius is first reduced and is subsequently increased again to form the supporting chamfer (28). There is therefore no need for a separate grinding step to form the supporting chamfers (26, 28). The supporting chamfers (26, 28) preferably extend parallel to the longitudinal mid-axis (22) in the axial direction (24) and intersect coiled chucking grooves (26).
