A machining tool includes a holder and a cutting head which can be screwed into the holder. The cutting head includes a cutting-edge region and a coupling region. The coupling region includes a flat contact area facing the holder, a cylindrical thread carrier with an external thread adjoining the flat contact area, and a clamping cone adjoining the thread carrier. The holder includes a planar counter-contact area disposed adjacent the flat contact area of the coupling region, a cylindrical internal thread adjoining the planar counter-contact area, and a hollow-conical cone contact area next to the internal thread.

A screw-in tool and a tool holder for such a screw-in tool. The screw-in tool contains a tool head and a tool shank having an outer thread and a supporting region arranged between the tool head and the outer thread. The supporting region is formed by two conical bearing faces having different cone angles.

A method of installing cable through material, for example, concrete, wood, masonry, plastic steel, or the like comprising a drill bit with a distal end having a hollow tip with an attachment mechanism for receiving the cable. The drill bit is drilled through the material, and left in place while the cable is attached to the proximal end of the drill bit. There is no need to remove the drill bit from the aperture or material to attach the cable thereto. After attachment to the drill bit, the cable is inserted through the aperture with the drill bit and removed from the drill bit after it passes through the material so it can be attached to a receiver device.

A cutting burr that includes a pair of axially spaced diamond-shaped portions designed to be keyed into a spindle of a locking mechanism of a high speed surgical drilling instrument and adapted to fit into a single pawl thereof to lock said cutting burr in place so as to prevent axial movement thereof and provide concentric rotation of said cutting burr without any wobbling. The orientation of both portions may be identical with respect to a center plan and diamond shape in the portion at the proximal end of the shank of the cutting tool may be larger than the intermediately located diamond shape of the other portion. The apexes of the facets of the six-sided diamond shape may be disposed below the surface of the shank of the cutting burr.

The rotating tool, in particular a drill, includes a fluted cutting shank made of a resistant material, in particular carbide, extending in an axial direction along a rotational axis. Connecting to the cutting shank in the axial direction is an intermediate shank made of a material of greater elasticity in comparison the resistant material, in particular of tool steel. The intermediate shank includes an insertable cutting insert that may be exchanged. The cutting shank is preferably a cutting shank recycled from a used solid carbide drill.

A drill bit in conjunction with a hammer-drill to penetrate composite metal and non-metal structure or structures including, for example, thick metal or rebar encountered during concrete, rock or masonry boring operations without requiring a change in drill equipment.

A drill bit including a shaft which has a pyramidal shaped end defining a drill tip with a plurality of edges defining the pyramidal shape. One or more recesses are provided for directing away debris produced whilst drilling. At least one recess has a first portion extending along the shaft and a second portion having a first portion extending along the shaft and a second portion which extends along the drill tip. The second portion of the at least one recess extends along an edge of the drill tip.
