The invention also relates to a production method for such a drill.
Claims7
A production method for a twist drill comprising the following steps:
- milling a plurality of depressions into a circumferential surface of a blank in order to form a network of ribs, first ribs of the ribs being parallel to each other and running along an axis of the blank, while second ribs of the ribs are parallel to each other and run at an angle of inclination slanted relative to the first ribs;
- milling grooves into sections of the first ribs situated between adjacent second ribs;
- and
- forming a drilling head on an end face of the milled blank, wherein
- the grooves are milled at a depth deviating by less than 10% from a depth of the depressions.
