Abstract
A wood drill includes a clamping portion for connecting, for conjoint rotation, to a tool fitting of a portable power tool, and a head portion which is provided with a centering geometry. The clamping portion is formed at a first end, remote from a workpiece, and the head portion is formed at a second end, close to a workpiece, of the wood drill. The clamping portion is connected to the head portion via a shank portion. A maximum outside radius of the head portion is greater than a maximum outside radius of the shank portion. The head portion has at least one main lip with at least two stages for introducing a bore with a predefined inside radius into a workpiece. An outside radius of a main lip base is less than 60%, preferably less than 50%, of an outside radius of the head portion.
Claims14
A wood drill bit, comprising:
- a clamping portion configured to be connected in a rotationally fixed manner to a tool receiver of a hand-held power tool;
- and
- a head portion provided with a centering geometry,
- wherein the clamping portion is located at a first end of the wood drill bit that faces away from a workpiece and the head portion is located at a second end that faces toward the workpiece,
- wherein the clamping portion is connected to the head portion via a shank portion,
- wherein a maximum outer radius of the head portion is greater than a maximum outer radius of the shank portion,
- wherein the head portion has at least one lip that comprises at least two steps for drilling a hole of a predefined inner radius into the workpiece,
- wherein an outer radius of a lip base of the at least one lip is less than 60% of an outer radius of the head portion,
- wherein a profile angle of between 10° and 30° is defined between the at least one lip and a perpendicular plane to a longitudinal central axis of the drill bit,
- wherein the at least two steps of the at least one lip are axially spaced apart from one another by one step height that is defined as a distance between adjacent steps of the at least two steps,
- wherein each of the at least two steps of the lip has a radial step width, and
- wherein the radial step width is greater than the step height,
- wherein the head portion has a helically coiled surface geometry, and
- wherein the helically coiled surface geometry defines at least one chip groove and at least one minor cutting edge.
