A rotary cutting tool that implements a chip space in proportion to a feed-per-tooth is proposed. The rotary cutting tool includes a cutting part in which a plurality of cutting teeth and flutes are alternately formed, wherein a cross-section of the cutting part perpendicular to a central axis is divided into a plurality of cutting tooth spaces defining a section between cutting edges of adjacent cutting teeth on the basis of the central axis, such that all of the cutting tooth spaces are designed in different sizes, or some of the plurality of cutting tooth spaces are set in different sizes from the other cutting tooth spaces.

A drill has a first main body portion and a second main body portion. The first main body includes a chip discharging surface, a flank face, and an outer peripheral surface. A ridgeline between the chip discharging surface and the flank face constitutes a cutting edge. The chip discharging surface has an auxiliary flute surface provided in a form of a helix around a center axis, the auxiliary flute surface being contiguous to the cutting edge, the auxiliary flute surface being recessed in a direction opposite to a rotation direction of the drill. An auxiliary cutting edge portion has a first end portion and a second end portion. When viewed in a direction along the center axis, a value obtained by dividing the maximum value of the diameter of the second main body portion by the diameter of the first main body portion is 1.5 or more.

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 base. The base may be extended from a first end to a second end. The base may include a first part, a second part, a step, a first cutting edge, a first flute, a second cutting edge and a second flute. The step may be located between the first part and the second part, and may have a larger outer diameter as coming closer to the second part. The first flute may be extended from the first cutting edge. The second flute may be extended from the second cutting edge. The step may include a first step and a second step. The first step may connect to the first flute. The second step may connect to the second flute. A first end part in the first step may be located further away from the first end than a second end part in the second step.

Provided is a cutting tool capable of improving both the biting property to a work material and the chip discharge property. The cutting tool includes a drill body rotated about a central axis, four or more cutting edges formed on one end portion of the drill body to face a forward side of a rotation direction, and a flute groove that is formed between the cutting edges adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction and extends substantially spirally along the central axis. (1) The one end portion includes a first tip portion that includes the central axis and has a first tip angle, and a second tip portion that extends from the first tip portion to an outer peripheral edge of the drill body and has a second tip angle larger than the first tip angle, and (2) the drill body includes a first core thickness portion that is formed in such a manner that a core thickness thereof gradually decreases from the one end portion to the other end portion, and a second core thickness portion that is formed in such a manner that a core thickness thereof is constant from the first core thickness portion toward the other end portion.

A method for producing a twist drill has the following steps. A blank is shaped to form a semi-finished product. The semi-finished product is formed from a core, coaxial with the drill axis, having a radius and a number of webs, arranged on the core, having a height. The semi-finished product has a constant cross section along the drill axis. The webs have a first portion which adjoins the core and in which a width of the web remains constant or decreases in the circumferential direction with increasing radial distance from the drill axis. The webs have a second portion which adjoins the first portion and in which the width of the web increases in the circumferential direction with increasing radial distance from the drill axis. The webs of the semi-finished product are shaped into helical segments using a plurality of rolling tools that annularly enclose the semi-finished product and roll on the webs along the drill axis. The rolling tools have teeth that are inclined with respect to the drill axis. A height of the helical segments is less than the height the webs. Helical segments formed from adjacent webs are in contact with one another in a closing fold. The invention also relates to a twist drill.

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 drill according to an embodiment includes a bar-shaped drill body extending along a rotation axis, a cutting edge located at a front end of the drill body, and a first flute extending spirally from the cutting edge toward a rear end of the drill body. The first flute includes a first region which is located close to the front end and has a helix angle θ1, and a second region which is located closer to the rear end than the first region and has a helix angle θ2 smaller than the helix angle θ1. The second region includes an elongated protruding part along the first flute.

The drill comprises a base body, which extends in the axial direction along an axis of rotation and rotates about the axis of rotation in a direction of rotation during operation. Into the base body are incorporated flutes and between consecutive flutes is formed a rear surface, which extends, in relation to the direction of rotation, from a leading flute to a trailing flute. On the rear surface in the region of the leading flute, a guide chamfer and a support chamfer spaced apart from it in the direction opposite the direction of rotation are formed, wherein the support chamfer, as radially outermost region, forms a support edge for a merely linear support.

A safety drilling tool having a tapered drill bit that drills through materials, such as metal, without producing any torque or heat is provided. The safety drilling tool may provide safety for the operator of the tool while drilling or cutting into electrical/electronic enclosures, such as switchgear. The bit may include a smooth graduated cam on the cutting portion eliminate the usage of steps as is the conventional practice in the art. The drill bits may be different sizes to reduce the bulkiness for sake of convenience. The bits may have a one or more internal helical flutes for pushing the debris through the hole being drilled. The hole saw portion of the bit draws the material into the center of the bit until the initial hole is made allowing the debris from the tapered bit to flow through hole being drilled.
