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.

A drill may include a body which is extended along a rotation axis from a first end to a second end. The body may include a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge, a thinning surface, a flute, and an outer peripheral surface. The outer peripheral surface may include a first margin surface, a clearance surface, and a second margin surface. In a plan view of the first end, an imaginary straight line connecting the rotation axis and an end part on a side of an outer periphery in the first cutting edge may be a first straight line, and an imaginary straight line which passes through a center of the first straight line and is orthogonal to the first straight line may be a second straight line. The second straight line may intersect with the second margin surface.

A ridgeline between the thinning face and the flank face includes a first thinning portion contiguous to the outer cutting edge, and a second thinning portion contiguous to the first thinning portion. When viewed in a direction along the central axis, the first thinning portion is linear and the second thinning portion is curved. When viewed in the direction along the central axis, the first thinning portion, and a boundary between the first thinning portion and the second thinning portion are located rearward in a rotational direction relative to a first straight line, and are located forward in the rotational direction relative to a second straight line, the first straight line being a straight line passing through the central axis and parallel to the first thinning portion, and the second straight line being a straight line perpendicular to the first straight line.

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.

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.

The outer peripheral surface is provided with a first margin contiguous to each of the cutting edge and the flank face, and a second margin that is located on the rear side with respect to the first margin in a rotation direction and that is separated from each of the flank face and the thinning face. An outer peripheral portion of the first margin and an outer peripheral portion of the second margin have respective back tapers having the same angle. In a direction parallel to the axial line, a distance between a front end of the first margin and a front end of the second margin is more than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm.

A cutting insert may include a base, a cutting edge and a flute. The base may include a rotation axis and may be extended from a first end to a second end. The cutting edge may be located on a side of the first end. The flute may be extended from the cutting edge toward the second end. The cutting edge may include a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge. The first cutting edge may intersect with the rotation axis in a front view. The second cutting edge may be located closer to an outer periphery than the first cutting edge, and a rake angle of the second cutting edge may have a positive value. The first cutting edge may be formed by round honing, and the second cutting edge may be formed by chamfer honing.

In a drill, a negative hind is provided on a rake face, and a ridge line at an intersecting position of the negative land and a flank face, a ridge line at an intersecting position of the flank face and a margin, and a ridge line at an intersecting position of the negative land and the margin are convex faces in a longitudinal rectangular cross section. When a curvature radius of the convex face of a first ridge line at the intersecting position of the flank face and the negative land is 1, at curvature radius of the convex face of a second ridge line at the intersecting position of the flank face and the margin is 0.8 to 1.5 times the curvature radius of the first ridge line, and a curvature radius of the convex face of a fourth ridge line at the intersecting position of the negative land and the margin is 1.5 to 3.0 times the curvature radius of the first ridge line.

A cutting head rotatable about a central axis, comprising a tip portion and an intermediate portion. The tip portion has an axially forwardmost tip point contained in the central axis and three axially forward facing front surfaces forming three chisel edges extending axially rearwardly away from the tip point, each front surface having a radially extending cutting edge comprising a secondary cutting-edge portion extending radially outwardly from one of the chisel edges, and a primary cutting-edge portion extending radially outwardly therefrom. Each primary cutting-edge portion is contained in an imaginary annular ring surface having an annular ring width spanning at least radially inner and outer end points thereof. In a front-end view of the cutting head, each primary cutting-edge portion is concave, and radial planes intersect the imaginary annular surface to form imaginary rectilinear lines, each having a length equal to the annular ring width.

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.
