Abstract
A rotary tool of the present aspect has a body and a cutting edge positioned on the outer periphery of the body. The cutting edge has a first section and a second section when viewed on an imaginary plane defined by cutting a rotational trajectory of the rotary tool on a plane including a rotational axis. The first section has a first region and a second region. A first radius of curvature of the first region is greater than a second radius of curvature of the second region in at least one of a plurality of the first sections.
Claims5
A rotary tool comprising:
- a cylindrical body including a rotational axis and extending from a first end to a second end;
- a plurality of outer peripheral cutting edges positioned on an outer periphery of the body to form a spiral shape from a side of the first end toward a side of the second end, wherein rotational trajectories of the plurality of outer peripheral cutting edges do not entirely overlap with each other;
- and
- a discharge groove positioned along the plurality of outer peripheral cutting edges, wherein,
- in a cross section of a rotational trajectory of the rotary tool including the rotational axis,
- the plurality of outer peripheral cutting edges comprise:
- a first convex section having a convex curved shape, a second convex section having a convex curved shape and positioned adjacent to the first convex section on the side of the second end,
- a first concave section having a concave curved shape and positioned contiguously on the side of the second end with respect to the first convex section, and a second concave section having a concave curved shape and positioned contiguously on the side of the second end with respect to the second convex section,
- the first convex section comprises:
- a first region having a convex curved shape and including an apex in the first convex section and
- a second region having a convex curved shape and positioned between the first region and the first concave section,
- the second convex section comprises:
- a third region having a convex curved shape and including an apex in the second convex section and
- a fourth region having a convex curved shape and positioned between the third region and the second concave section,
- a first radius of curvature of the first region is greater than a second radius of curvature of the second region and a third radius of curvature of the third region is greater than a fourth radius of curvature of the fourth region.
