Abstract
A drill may include a base. The base may be extended from a first end to a second end. The base may include a first part, a second part, a step, a first cutting edge, a first flute, a second cutting edge and a second flute. The step may be located between the first part and the second part, and may have a larger outer diameter as coming closer to the second part. The first flute may be extended from the first cutting edge. The second flute may be extended from the second cutting edge. The step may include a first step and a second step. The first step may connect to the first flute. The second step may connect to the second flute. A first end part in the first step may be located further away from the first end than a second end part in the second step.

A drill, comprising:
- a base extended along a rotation axis from a first end to a second end and being rotatable around the rotation axis, and being configured to perform a cutting process when rotated in a rotation direction around the rotation axis, the base comprising:
- a first part including the first end and having a first outer diameter,
- wherein the first part includes a first cutting edge extending from the first end,
- a first flute that leads the first cutting edge relative to the rotation direction,
- a second flute that follows the first cutting edge relative to the rotation direction,
- a second part which is between the first cutting edge and the second end, and has a second outer diameter that is larger than the first outer diameter,
- a step which is located between the first cutting edge and the second part and has a larger outer diameter as coming closer to the second part,
- wherein:
- a length of each of the first part and the second part is longer than a length of the step,
- the step comprises:
- a first step that is a non-cutting step, and
- a second step that includes a second cutting edge such that the second step is a cutting step,
- each of the first and second steps is located where the first outer diameter increases to the second outer diameter,
- the second step is between the first cutting edge and the first step,
- the second flute is between the first step and the second step relative to the rotation direction,
- the first step leads second flute relative to the rotation direction, and
- the second step follows the second flute relative to the rotation direction.
