Modular drill with enhanced bump-off capability

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 tip that is capable of preventing chip clogging during machining, and a cutting tool equipped with this tip, are provided. The tip 30 includes a first surface 310 that is a portion making contact with a body 20 of the cutting tool 10 when the tip is attached to the body 20, a second surface 320 located on the opposite side from the first surface 310, a leading end part 330 connecting the first surface 310 and the second surface 320 and provided with a cutting edge 331, and a trailing end part 340 located on the opposite side from the leading end part 330. The second surface 320 is formed with a recessed part 321 receding toward the first surface 310 in a portion closer to the trailing end part 340.

Step drill bit

A drill bit includes a shank and a body portion defining a plurality of axially stacked, progressively sized steps. The steps include a first step and a terminal step. The first step defines two tip flutes each disposed at a tip flute angle. The body portion defines a body flute extending through the steps. The drill bit also includes an indicator band formed on a portion of the body flute and a portion of an outer surface of one of the plurality of steps.

DRILLING INSERT

A drilling insert includes a body having a length measured between a first end and a second end. The body includes a cutting head positioned at the first end of the body. The cutting head has a first maximum outer diameter. The body also includes a shank positioned at the second end of the body and configured to be coupled to a tool. The shank has a second maximum outer diameter that is less than the first maximum outer diameter. The body further includes a shaft extending between the shank and the cutting head. The shaft has a third maximum outer diameter that is less than the first maximum outer diameter. The shaft extends a majority of the length of the body. The drilling insert includes a cutting insert coupled to the cutting head and spanning over at least 50% of the first maximum outer diameter of the cutting head.
