Abstract
A rotary tool in a non-limiting embodiment of the present disclosure has a columnar shape. A first flute has a first helix angle having a positive value. A second flute has a second helix angle having a negative value. An outer peripheral surface includes a first outer peripheral surface and a second outer peripheral surface. A second outer peripheral surface is located on a rear side in a rotation direction of a rotation axis with respect to the first outer peripheral surface. The first outer peripheral surface includes a first flank surface extending along a first cutting edge, and a second flank surface extending along a second cutting edge. The first flank surface includes a first enlarged part whose width increases as coming closer to the second flank surface.
Claims7
A rotary tool, having a columnar shape extending along a rotation axis from a first end toward a second end and comprising:
- an outer peripheral surface;
- a first flute extending spirally around the rotation axis from the first end toward the second end and having a first helix angle;
- a second flute extending spirally around the rotation axis from the first end toward the second end and having a second helix angle;
- a first cutting edge located at an intersection of the outer peripheral surface and the first flute;
- and
- a second cutting edge located at an intersection of the outer peripheral surface and the second flute, wherein
- the first helix angle is a positive value, and the second helix angle is a negative value,
- the first flute intersects with the second flute, and the first cutting edge connects to the second cutting edge,
- the outer peripheral surface comprises
- a first outer peripheral surface extending along the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge, and
- a second outer peripheral surface located on a rear side in a rotation direction of the rotation axis with respect to the first outer peripheral surface,
- the first outer peripheral surface comprises
- a first flank surface extending along the first cutting edge, and
- a second flank surface extending along the second cutting edge, and
- the first flank surface comprises a first enlarged part whose width in a direction orthogonal to the first cutting edge increases as coming closer to the second flank surface.
