Abstract
TASK An inexpensive drill with high processing accuracy is provided. MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEM A chisel edge 11 of a tip 12 is removed, and a pyramid 1 is formed in that part, in which an inclination angle θ1 of each edge 4 extending from an apex P relative to a center line of the drill CL is formed to be larger than an angle θ2 that is one-half of a drill tip angle θ0, and so chisel steps are resolved and stable cutting becomes possible, thereby improving hole accuracy. Also, it is possible to form the pyramid 1 by grinding a tip of an existing drill by a grinder, so that a drill can be realized at a low cost.
Claims2
A two-blade drill in which two flanks of a tip of the drill are re-ground by conical grinding, comprising:
- a pyramid in the tip of the drill placed between the two flanks so as to remove a chisel edge, in which an apex of the pyramid is located on a center line of the drill, and an inclination angle of each edge extending from the apex relative to the center line of the drill is larger than an angle that is one-half of a tip angle of the drill, wherein
- each pyramid surface of the pyramid is formed into a concave shape, and the number of edges extending of the apex of the pyramid is an odd number.
