Abstract
A rotary tool may include a body, the body may include a cutting edge and a first groove. The first groove may include a first region having a first helix angle, a second region having a second helix angle, a third region having a third helix angle, a fourth region having a fourth helix angle, and a fifth region having a fifth helix angle. The fourth helix angle and the fifth helix angle may each decrease from a side of a first end toward a second end. A decreasing range of a value of the fourth helix angle of the fourth region may be less than a decreasing range of a value of the fifth helix angle of the fifth region. A length of the fourth region may be greater than a length of the fifth region.
Claims13
A rotary tool comprising:
- a body having a rod-like shape and extending along a rotation axis from a first end toward a second end,
- wherein
- the body comprises:
- a cutting edge located at the first end;
- and
- a first groove extending in a spiral manner from the cutting edge toward the second end,
- the first groove comprises:
- a first region having a first helix angle;
- a second region located closer to the second end than the first region and having a second helix angle;
- a third region located closer to the second end than the second region and having a third helix angle;
- a fourth region located between the first region and the second region and having a fourth helix angle;
- and
- a fifth region located between the second region and the third region and having a fifth helix angle,
- the second helix angle is less than the first helix angle and greater than the third helix angle,
- the fourth helix angle and the fifth helix angle each decrease from a side of the first end toward the second end,
- a decreasing range of a value of the fourth helix angle is less than a decreasing range of a value of the fifth helix angle, and
- a length of the fourth region in a first direction along the rotation axis is greater than a length of the fifth region in the first direction.
