Abstract

A bit exchangeable drill includes a detachable cutting head at the tip of a drill body, and the cutting head includes a cutting edge extending linearly from a rotation center to a radial outer end in axial end view, and a helical flute. At a rake face continuous with the cutting edge, a thinning face inclined relative to the rotation axis and rendering an axial rake angle of the cutting edge negative is formed entirely from a radial inner end to a radial outer end of the cutting edge.

Claims (16)

1. A bit exchangeable drill including a detachable cutting head at a tip of a drill body, said cutting head including a cutting edge extending linearly from a rotation center to a radial outer end in axial end view, and a helical flute, wherein

a thinning face inclined relative to a rotation axis, and rendering an axial rake angle of the cutting edge negative is formed at a rake face continuous to said cutting edge, and said thinning face is arranged entirely from a radial inner end to a radial outer end of said cutting edge, and

a tilt angle θ of said thinning face relative to the rotation axis satisfies a condition of 0°<θ<25°.

2. The bit exchangeable drill according to claim 1 , wherein a width dimension of said thinning face in a direction of the rotation axis at a radial outer end of the cutting edge is set at 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm.

3. The bit exchangeable drill according to claim 1 , wherein a main margin adjacent to said helical flute and a submargin arranged backward of said main margin in a drill rotation direction are formed at an outer circumferential land of said cutting head, and a size of clearance formed between the two margins is set at 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm.

4. A bit exchangeable drill including a detachable cutting head at a tip of a drill body, said cutting head including a cutting edge extending linearly from a neighborhood of a rotation center to a radial outer end in axial end view, and a helical flute, wherein

said cutting edge has a chisel edge less than or equal to 0.5 mm,

a thinning face inclined relative to a rotation axis, and rendering an axial rake angle of the cutting edge negative is formed at a rake face continuous to said cutting edge, and said thinning face is arranged entirely from a radial inner end to a radial outer end of said cutting edge, and

a tilt angle θ of said thinning face relative to the rotation axis satisfies a condition of 0°<θ<25°.

5. A bit exchangeable drill including a detachable cutting head at a tip of a drill body, said cutting head including a cutting edge extending linearly from a rotation center to a radial outer end in axial end view, and a helical flute, wherein

a thinning face inclined relative to a rotation axis, and rendering an axial rake angle of the cutting edge negative is formed at a rake face continuous to said cutting edge, and said thinning face is arranged entirely from a radial inner end to a radial outer end of said cutting edge, and

a main margin adjacent to said helical flute and a submargin arranged backward of said main margin in a drill rotation direction are formed at an outer circumferential land of said cutting head, and a size of clearance formed between the two margins is set at 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm.

6. A bit exchangeable drill including a detachable cutting head at a tip of a drill body, said cutting head including a cutting edge extending linearly from a neighborhood of a rotation center to a radial outer end in axial end view, and a helical flute, wherein

said cutting edge has a chisel edge less than or equal to 0.5 mm,

a thinning face inclined relative to a rotation axis, and rendering an axial rake angle of the cutting edge negative is formed at a rake face continuous to said cutting edge, and said thinning face is arranged entirely from a radial inner end to a radial outer end of said cutting edge, and

a main margin adjacent to said helical flute and a submargin arranged backward of said main margin in a drill rotation direction are formed at an outer circumferential land of said cutting head, and a size of clearance formed between the two margins is set at 0.3 mm to 1.0 mm.
