Drilling tool and method for drilling

A drilling tool which extends in the longitudinal direction and has a drill head with a nominal diameter defining a perimeter, a drill point and a first and a second main cutting edge which extend from the drill point outwardly to the perimeter of the drill head and secondary cutting edges extending in the longitudinal direction with lands therebetween, wherein the drill point is located at an offset with respect to a center axis of the drilling tool, which is also the rotation axis of the drilling tool, and wherein the center axis of the drilling tool is offset with respect to the center of the nominal diameter of the drill head and in that the second main cutting edge—with respect to the longitudinal direction toward the drill point—is arranged at a higher level by a cutting height difference and at the same time has a shorter radial cutting edge length than the first main cutting edge and wherein during the drilling operation, a first radial force component is produced by the eccentric arrangement of the drill point and by the longer first main cutting edge and a second radial force component is produced by the higher arrangement of the second main cutting edge, and the offset and the cutting height difference are selected such that said radial force components at least largely and completely compensate one another;

• and wherein guide chamfers are formed only on the end of the lands remote from each of the secondary cutting edges.
