Drilling tool and method for producing drill holes
A drilling tool for producing drill holes includes a tip and a shaft arranged opposite the tip in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the drilling tool. The drilling tool has at least one geometrically defined cutting edge in the tip area, and has an expanded diameter trailing the tip in a longitudinal direction from the tip. The drilling tool has a first area with a first diameter that precedes the expanded diameter, and a second area with a second diameter, larger than the first diameter, that trails the expanded diameter. The drilling tool is distinguished in that the expanded diameter and/or the second area is/are embodied such that chips are produced in the area of the expanded diameter and/or in the second area when a workpiece is machined, chips consistent with those produced when a workpiece is machined with a geometrically undefined cutting edge.
1. A drilling tool for producing drill holes in a workpiece, the drilling tool comprising:
a tip;
a shaft arranged opposite the tip in a direction of a longitudinal axis of the drilling tool;
a first area preceding an expanded diameter and having a first diameter, the first area including a first cutting portion in the form of a primary cutting edge configured to remove chips from the workpiece;
a second area trailing the first area and having a second diameter, the second diameter being larger than the first diameter, the second area having at least one second cutting portion configured to remove fine material in the form of dust-like particles from the workpiece; and
at least one groove for collecting the dust-like particles,
wherein the first area further includes a secondary cutting edge.
2. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one groove includes a pair of grooves.
3. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one groove is a helical groove.
4. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the at least one groove extends to the tip.
5. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a coating at least at the expanded diameter.
6. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 5 , wherein the coating comprises a coarse grain at least in the area of the expanded diameter.
7. A method of producing a drill hole in a workpiece with a drilling tool having a tip, a shaft arranged opposite the tip, and an expanded diameter axially between the tip and the shaft, the method comprising:
removing chips from the workpiece with a primary cutting edge of a first cutting area that precedes the expanded diameter and has a first diameter; and
removing dust-like particles from the workpiece with a second cutting area that trails the first cutting area, the second cutting area having a second diameter greater than the first diameter and being absent of sharp cutting edges;
wherein the dust-like particles removed by the second area are comparatively finer than the chips removed by the first area, and
wherein the first area further includes a secondary cutting edge.
8. The method of producing a drill hole in accordance with claim 7 , wherein the second diameter being no greater than 60 μm compared to the first diameter.
9. The method of producing a drill hole in accordance with claim 7 , further comprising collecting the dust-like particles in at least one groove that extends to the tip.
10. The method of producing a drill hole in accordance with claim 7 , further comprising collecting dust-like particles in a pair of grooves extending to the tip.
11. The method of producing a drill hole in accordance with claim 7 , further comprising collecting the dust-like particles in a pair of helical grooves extending to the tip.
12. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 1 , further comprising a primary flank sloping in opposition to a rotational direction of the drilling tool, the primary flank having a lip cooperating with a primary cutting face to define the primary cutting edge.
13. The drilling tool in accordance with claim 12 , further comprising a secondary flank having a lip cooperating with a secondary cutting face to define the secondary cutting edge.
14. The method of producing a drill hole in accordance with claim 7 , further comprising a primary flank sloping in opposition to a rotational direction of the drilling tool, the primary flank having a lip cooperating with a primary cutting face to define the primary cutting edge.
15. The method of producing a drill hole in accordance with claim 14 , further comprising a secondary flank having a lip cooperating with a secondary cutting face to define the secondary cutting edge.
