A combination tool including a tool holder that extends along a tool rotational axis that defines an axial extension, an inner cutting tool for machining a first, central hole region and an outer, sleeve-shaped cutting tool for machining a second hole region radially outwards relative to the first hole region.

A method for machining a workpiece is provided, wherein drilling of the workpiece and subsequent countersinking of the bore, obtained by the drilling, in the workpiece are performed by means of a drilling/countersinking tool in a machining process, wherein the drilling/countersinking tool in the machining process while being axially rotated is subjected to an axial feed movement relative to the workpiece that reaches a counterbore terminal position, and wherein the axial feed movement is superimposed by an axial vibration, wherein, when reaching a predefined frequency lowering position of the axial feed movement by the drilling/countersinking tool, the frequency of the axial vibration is lowered to a final machining frequency, and the machining process is continued at the final machining frequency as the maximum frequency of the axial vibration until the counterbore terminal position is reached.

A drill bit has a tool shank, a center axis, a first cutting region with at least one geometrically defined first cutting edge, the same having a cutting face arranged at a radial distance from the center axis of the drill bit. The first cutting edge forms a countersink angle with the center axis. The drill bit having a chip shaping stage functionally assigned to the first cutting edge formed by the cutting face of the first cutting edge and by a shoulder surface adjoining the cutting face and forming a shoulder angle with the same, wherein the shoulder angle is greater than 90°, and preferably greater than 100°. The cutting face runs at a radial rake angle with respect to an imaginary radial line which cuts the first cutting edge, the same functionally assigned to the cutting face. The radial rake angle is positive.

A drilling and milling tool (100) for a metallic workpiece, with a drilling and milling shank (120) having a plurality of circumferentially-cutting cutter tips (151, 152, 153, 154) and a plurality of front-end-cutting cutter tips (131, 132). At least one of the front-end-cutting cutter tips (132) is, at the same time, a circumferentially-cutting cutter tip whose radially outermost cutting point or cutting edge section projects, in the radial direction (R), beyond the circumferentially-cutting cutter tips (151 152, 153, 154). The circumferentially-cutting cutter tips (151, 152, 153, 154) are made with straight cutting edges and together these cutting edges produce a cylindrical cut contour. Two methods that can be carried out with the drilling and milling tool (100) for producing a through-going bore in a metallic workpiece.

In one embodiment, a system includes a counterbore drill bit, pre-cut lead rods of predetermined length, and a tapper tool. The counterbore drill bit includes a stop collar to drill counter bored holes with a first hole portion having a first diameter to a first depth below a surface of a material and a second hole portion having a second diameter less than the first to a second depth below the surface. The lead rods are inserted into the counter bored holes. The tapper tool mashes the second end of each lead rod in the one or more counterbored holes to expand and friction fit then in the counter bored holes. The system further includes circular survey tags insertable into the first hole and fasteners with a head and a shaft insertable through a center hole in the survey tags to retain the tags coupled to the lead rods.

A rotary tool according to a non-limiting aspect has a body that has a rod shape extending from a first end to a second end and is rotatable about a central axis. The body has a first cutting edge positioned on the first end, a first flute extending from the first cutting edge toward the second end, a second cutting edge being on a side of the second end and on a side of an outer periphery with respect to the first cutting edge and being positioned away from the first cutting edge, and a second flute, extending from the second cutting edge toward the second end and being positioned along the first flute. The second flute has a projecting portion extending from a side of the first end toward a side of the second end.

A rotary tool may include a body having a first part, a second part, a third part, a first cutting edge located at a first end, a flute extending from the first cutting edge toward a second end, and an outer peripheral surface. The outer peripheral surface in the third part may have a first portion. The third part may have a land face, and a second cutting edge located on a ridge line where a first portion and the land face intersect. The land face may have a first region in which a width increases from a side of the first end toward a side of the second end, and a second region that is located closer to the second end than the first region in which a width decreases from a side of the first end toward the second end.

The combination tool (2), in particular a drilling/chamfering tool, comprises a drill (6) extending in the longitudinal direction (4) with a clamping sleeve (8), which is designed to receive the drill (6) and fasten the drill (6) at a variable length and which has a holding seat (38) for a cutting insert (12). The drill (6) comprises a cutting region (22) provided with grooves (14), wherein the grooves (14) extend helically and are formed between two grooves (14) drill backs (18). At least one of the drill backs (18) is partially flattened to form an adjustment surface (16) for the cutting insert (12), wherein the adjustment surface (16) extends helically. As a result, a length adjustment over a large length range is made possible independently of the twist angle (γ).
