Abstract
In a throw-away tipped drill, a slit is formed at the bottom surface of a tip attachment seat which faces towards the end of its axial line direction, with this slit extending towards the rear of the axial line direction. Furthermore, when seen from the end of the axial line direction, this slit is arranged as being displaced so as to be closer to a second end portion into which a shaft portion of a clamp bolt is threaded than to a first end portion which is pressed by a head portion of that clamp bolt. As a result, when, using the clamp bolt, the pair of outer side surfaces of the tip are pressed by the pair of internal side surfaces of the tip attachment seat, the pressing forces are mutually equal to one another.
Claims13
A throw-away tipped drill comprising:
- a throw-away tip of approximately a flat plate shape;
- a cutting edge formed upon an edge of said throw-away tip;
- said throw-away tip engaged to a concave groove shaped tip attachment seat which opens at an end surface of a drill main body which rotates around an axial line so as to divide the end portion of said drill main body into two portions;
- said drill main body having a pair of outer side surfaces respectively confront a pair of internal side surfaces of said tip attachment seat;
- a clamp bolt inserted into a through hole provided at an end portion of said drill main body so as to intersect said tip attachment seat:
- wherein a slit which extends towards the rear end of said axial line direction is formed upon the bottom surface of said tip attachment seat which faces towards the end of said axial line direction, and, when viewed from the end of said axial line direction, at the end portion of said drill main body which is divided into two by said tip attachment seat;
- said slit is arranged as being displaced so as to be closer to a portion into which a shaft portion of said clamp bolt is threaded than to a side which is pressed by a head portion of said clamp bolt;
- and
- when seen from the end of said axial line direction, an angle of intersection between the direction of extension of said slit and the direction of extension of said clamp bolt is inclined from 90° by an angle β, where 0°<β≦15°).

A throw-away tipped drill, comprising:
- a pair of chip disposal grooves formed on the outer peripheral surface of a drill main body which rotates around an axial line;
- a concave groove shaped tip attachment seat formed at an end portion of said drill main body which, along with connecting to said pair of chip disposal grooves, also opens at an end surface of said drill main body;
- to said tip attachment seat;
- a throw-away tip of approximately a flat plate shape;
- a pair of cutting edges are formed upon an edge of said throw-away tip;
- a pair of internal side surfaces of said tip attachment seat being mutually brought towards one another by a clamp bolt screwed into an end portion of said drill main body so that it crosses said tip attachment seat;
- a pair of outer side surfaces of said throw-away tip respectively;
- a pair of internal side surfaces of said tip attachment seat confronting said pair of outer side surfaces;
- a pair of raked surfaces, which are portions of said pair of outer side surfaces of said throw-away tip which face towards the forward rotational direction of the drill, respectively open into said pair of chip disposal grooves;
- and:
- concave portions formed on the internal side surfaces of said tip attachment seat which do not contact against the outer side surfaces of said throw-away tip;
- pressure portions are created as remaining adjacent to said concave portions, and are positioned more to the rearward direction of the rotational direction of the drill than the central axial line of said clamp bolt, so that, when said clamp bolt is tightened up, said pressure portions press against the outer side surfaces of said throw-away tipped drill so that said throw-away tip rotates about said axial line while facing towards the rearward direction of the rotational direction of the drill.
