A drill bit for drilling holes in metal sheets or panels in which the drill is of generally conical form having a series of cylindrical drill portions increasing progressively in diameter from the point end of the drill whereby a single drill may be employed to drill holes of various diameters within a given range. The drill has a single flute of generally right-angle form in cross section with the apex of the right angle extending generally along the axis of the bit. Each cylindrical portion ha...

There is now provided a rotary cutting tool, particularly a drill, that has at least two cutting edges that respectively comprise a main cutting edge and that respectively are disposed, particularly symmetrically, with respect to the central axis of a cutter portion, whereby the radius of the main cutting edges is less than the maximal cutting edge radius of the cutter portion. A secondary cutting edge is associated with a main cutting edge, this secondary cutting edge is curvilinear in at least...

The present invention provides a new drilling tool useful in machining hydraulic port seals for fluid power ports. The drilling tool drills the port hole to size in a solid material for the minor thread diameter in combination with forming the port in a single operation. The drilling tool has a tool holder having a rotational axis, a first drilling insert having cutting surfaces on a first side and a mounting surface on a second side, at least one second drilling insert having a predetermined cu...

A drill bit is disclosed having a cutting portion having a plurality of axially aligned, graduated cutting members. Each of the members has cutting edges defined by a single slot extending therethrough. A tip portion at one end of the cutting portion defines at least a pair of cutouts therein, wherein one of the cutouts is aligned with the slot.

A twist drill having a longitudinal axis, a shank portion sized and shaped to be grasped by a twisting tool, and a barrel portion for cutting a workpiece. The barrel portion has a number of flutes formed therein spiraling about the axis and terminating at a point end of the barrel portion. The point end has a number of point surfaces including an inner flank surface, an outer flank surface, a groove surface positioned between the inner and outer flank surfaces and a split surface. The inner flan...

Drill bit for drilling holes of different diameters which has a series of cylindrical outer surfaces of increasing diameter from the outer to the inner end of the drill bit. A beveled conical surface interconnects each adjacent pair of cylindrical surfaces. At least two flutes are machined at two circumferentially spaced locations to provide two cutting edges on each diameter of the drill. At each cutting edge the cylindrical surfaces are relieved radially and the conical surface is relieved axi...

A twist drill bit for drilling through metal and having a cutter recessed in the spiral portion of the drill auger and spring tensioned to be biased outwardly beyond the peripheral surface of the drill to remove burrs raised by the drill bit as it passes through the metal in either direction.

A burnishing drill includes a cylindrical shank and a drill body connected to the shank. Drilling edges, first reaming edges and second reaming edges are formed on a first reduced diameter portion, a second reduced-diameter portion and a third reduced-diameter portion respectively located at a foremost end of the drill body. Each of the reaming edges is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the drill at an angle which is set so as to be within a range of between 5.degree. and 30.degr...

A boring tool having a tool body (10) which has a pair of chip discharge flutes (11) formed in the peripheral surface thereof. A cutting edge (13) is formed on the edge line where the end relief surface of the tool body intersects the wall surface of each chip discharge flute which faces forwardly as viewed in the direction of the tool rotation. A first margin (15) is provided on the end of the land which is on the trailing side of the flute (11) as viewed in the tool rotation direction, while a...

A power drill bit having a stepped construction, referred to as a cone drill, and a quick change capability provided by a shank having a non-circular cross-section and a circumferential groove for quick connect-disconnect in a power tool or drill. The preferred embodiment includes a hexagonal shank which is at least one-half of the axial length of the drill bit in order to provide a better engagement to the power chuck.
