Abstract
For improving a drill, in particular a spiral drill, comprising a base body extending substantially longitudinally in a direction axial to a drill axis, said base body comprising a drilling portion, wherein a radially inward core region in relation to the drill axis and a radially outer region are provided in the base body in the drilling portion, and the drilling portion comprises a plurality of spiral-shaped recesses in the outer region, and arranged between each two spiral-shaped recesses is a wall part, it is proposed that the drill comprises at least four main cutting edges, in particular exactly four main cutting edge and/or the drill comprises at least three central cutting edge portions.
Claims33
Drill, comprising:
- a base body extending substantially longitudinally in a direction axial to a drill axis, said base body comprising a drilling portion,
- a radially inward core region in relation to the drill axis and a radially outer region provided in the base body in the drilling portion,
- the drilling portion comprising a core part in the core region and a plurality of spiral-shaped recesses in the outer region,
- a plurality of wall parts, each one of the plurality of wall parts arranged between two respective spiral-shaped recesses, each of the plurality of wall parts extending spirally along an axial extent of the core part, and
- at least four main cutting edges, each of which extend, at least in sections, along a radial extent of a respective wall part of the plurality of wall parts, and extend radially inward, in relation to the drill axis, up to a front tip point at the drill axis.
Drill, comprising:
- a base body extending substantially longitudinally in a direction axial to a drill axis, said base body comprising a drilling portion,
- the drilling portion extending in a direction axial to the drill axis up to a face side, the face side being arranged at a front of the drill,
- a radially inward core region in relation to the drill axis and a radially outer region provided in the base body in the drilling portion,
- the drilling portion comprising a core part in the core region and a plurality of spiral-shaped recesses in the outer region,
- a plurality of wall parts, each of the plurality of wall parts arranged between two respective spiral-shaped recesses, each of the plurality of wall parts extending spirally along an axial extent of the core part up to the face side, and
- at least four central cutting edge portions, each of the at least four central cutting edge portions extends along the face side radially inwardly, in relation to the drill axis, up to a front tip point at the drill axis, wherein each of the at least four central cutting edge portions is of a cutting configuration.
Drill, comprising:
- a base body extending substantially longitudinally in a direction axial to a drill axis, said base body comprising a drilling portion,
- a radially inward core region in relation to the drill axis and a radially outer region provided in the base body in the drilling portion,
- the drilling portion comprising a plurality of spiral-shaped recesses in the outer region,
- a plurality of wall parts, each of the plurality of wall parts arranged between two respective spiral-shaped recesses, and
- at least four central cutting edge portions, each of the at least four central cutting edge portions extends radially inwardly, in relation to the drill axis, up to a front tip,
- wherein:
- each of the at least four central cutting edge portions is of a cutting configuration;
- in at least one of the central cutting edge portions a central rake face of the base body extends at a central rake angle up to the central cutting edge portion and a central flank of the base body extends at a central clearance angle up to the central cutting edge portion;
- the central rake angle is measured between the central rake face and a geometric radial reference face, which extends in parallel to the drill axis;
- the central rake angle is at least −5° and/or is at most 20°, wherein negative values of the central rake angle correspond to an undercut of the central cutting edge portion;
- and
- the central clearance angle is measured between the central flank and a geometric reference plane extending perpendicularly to the drill axis, and wherein the central clearance angle is at least 3° and/or at most 25°.
Drill, comprising:
- a base body extending substantially longitudinally in a direction axial to a drill axis, said base body comprising a drilling portion,
- a radially inward core region in relation to the drill axis and a radially outer region provided in the base body in the drilling portion,
- the drilling portion comprising a plurality of spiral-shaped recesses in the outer region,
- a wall part arranged between each two spiral-shaped recesses,
- at least four main cutting edges, which extend radially inward, in relation to the drill axis, up to a front tip point at the drill axis, and
- each of the at least four main cutting edges comprises a curved main cutting edge outer portion extending in the outer region.
