In order to improve a usage of machine tool components, it is provided that the machine tool component is formed at least partially, in particular essentially, or alternatively completely from an amorphous metal. It is provided that the tool component is produced using injection molding or 3D printing or plastic deformation.

According to one implementation, a drill has at least one cutting edge. A projected shape of a passing area of a ridgeline of the at least one cutting edge when the at least one cutting edge is rotated around a tool axis becomes a line-symmetric and discontinuous line along a parabola, two parabolas, an ellipse or two ellipses. The projected shape is drawn on a projection plane parallel to the tool axis.

A drill includes a tip cutting edge provided at a tip end thereof and a main cutting edge continuous to a rearward of the tip cutting edge. A point angle of the tip cutting edge is a predetermined acute angle. A point angle of the main cutting edge decreases from a front end toward a rear end of the main cutting edge. A point angle at the front end of the main cutting edge is an acute angle greater than the point angle of the tip cutting edge.

A drill includes a cutting edge. The cutting edge has a point angle which is continuously decreased from a center-position point angle A (herein, 0<A<180) at a center position to a maximum-diameter-position point angle of 0 at a maximum diameter position. The cutting edge has a relief angle which is continuously decreased from the center position to the maximum diameter position. The cutting edge of the drill has a relief angle at the maximum diameter position. Hence, the cutting edge also serves as a cutting edge for reaming. The ridgeline and relief face of the cutting edge have no corner, thereby providing good wear resistance.
