Abstract

An oil hole reamer includes an oil passage extending inside a tool main body along an axis of the tool main body, and an oil hole extending radially outward from the oil passage to an outer circumference of the tool main body. An oil outlet of the oil hole is formed to be open toward a position corresponding to a corner at which a tip cutting edge intersects an outer-circumference cutting edge and to cause at least part of the oil outlet to be open to the outer-circumference flank face.

Claims (32)

1. An oil hole reamer comprising:

a tool main body that rotates about an axis;

a groove extending axially on an outer circumference of the tool main body to an axially front end of the tool main body;

a margin formed on the outer circumference of the tool main body while being adjacent to a tool-rotation-direction back side of the groove;

an outer-circumference flank face formed on the outer circumference of the tool main body while being adjacent to a tool-rotation-direction back side of the margin, the outer-circumference flank face having a smaller diameter at a tool-rotation-direction back than at a tool-rotation-direction front;

an outer-circumference cutting edge formed at an intersecting ridge between the margin and the groove;

a tip flank face formed adjacent to an axially front side of the margin and having a smaller diameter at an axial front than at an axial back;

a tip cutting edge formed at an intersecting ridge between the tip flank face and the groove and connected with an axially front end of the outer-circumference cutting edge;

an oil passage extending along the axis of the tool main body inside the tool main body; and

an oil hole extending radially outward from the oil passage to the outer circumference of the tool main body,

wherein an oil outlet of the oil hole is formed to be open toward a position corresponding to a corner at which the tip cutting edge intersects the outer-circumference cutting edge and to cause at least part of the oil outlet to be open to the outer-circumference flank face,

wherein the oil outlet is open across the outer-circumference flank face and an inner surface of the groove,

wherein a tool-rotation-direction back portion of the outer-circumference flank face and a tool-rotation-direction front portion of the inner surface of the groove form a projecting ridgeline that projects radially outwardly, and

wherein the oil hole is open on the projecting ridgeline.

2. The oil hole reamer according to claim 1 , wherein the oil hole is a hole extending obliquely to a direction perpendicular to the axis inside the tool main body.

3. The oil hole reamer according to claim 1 , wherein the outer-circumference cutting edge is a straight edge extending parallel to the axis of the tool main body or a right-hand helical edge twisted at an angle of 10° or less clockwise from an axial back to an axial front.

4. An oil hole reamer comprising:

a tool main body that rotates about an axis;

a groove extending axially on an outer circumference of the tool main body to an axially front end of the tool main body;

a margin formed on the outer circumference of the tool main body while being adjacent to a tool-rotation-direction back side of the groove;

an outer-circumference flank face formed on the outer circumference of the tool main body while being adjacent to a tool-rotation-direction back side of the margin, the outer-circumference flank face having a smaller diameter at a tool-rotation-direction back than at a tool-rotation-direction front;

an outer-circumference cutting edge formed at an intersecting ridge between the margin and the groove;

a tip flank face formed adjacent to an axially front side of the margin and having a smaller diameter at an axial front than at an axial back;

a tip cutting edge formed at an intersecting ridge between the tip flank face and the groove and connected with an axially front end of the outer-circumference cutting edge;

an oil passage extending along the axis of the tool main body inside the tool main body; and

an oil hole extending radially outward from the oil passage to the outer circumference of the tool main body, wherein

an oil outlet of the oil hole is open toward a position corresponding to a corner at which the tip cutting edge intersects the outer-circumference cutting edge, and at least part of the oil outlet is open to the outer-circumference flank face,

the oil hole is a hole extending obliquely to a direction perpendicular to the axis inside the tool main body,

the oil outlet is open across the outer-circumference flank face and an inner surface of the groove,

a tool-rotation-direction back portion of the outer-circumference flank face and a tool-rotation-direction front portion of the inner surface of the groove form a projecting ridgeline that projects radially outwardly,

the oil hole is open on the projecting ridgeline, and

the outer-circumference cutting edge is a straight edge extending parallel to the axis of the tool main body or a right-hand helical edge twisted at an angle of 10° or less clockwise from an axial back to an axial front.
