A cutting tool for performing hole-cutting operations on a workpiece when the cutting tool is rotated about a central longitudinal axis includes a generally cylindrical body having a first end structured to be mounted to a machine tool and an opposite second end structured to engage and perform cutting operations on the workpiece. A number of coolant passages are defined in the generally cylindrical body, each coolant passage of the number of coolant passages is disposed at a first helix angle relative to the central longitudinal axis. A number of flutes are formed in the generally cylindrical body, each flute of the number of flutes includes a first portion at or about the first end of the generally cylindrical body, a second portion at or about the second end of the generally cylindrical body, and a transition portion disposed therebetween. The first portion of each flute is disposed generally at the first helix angle relative to the central longitudinal axis, the second portion of each flute is disposed generally at a second helix angle relative the central longitudinal axis, and the transition portion of each flute is disposed generally at a third helix angle relative to the central longitudinal axis greater than the first helix angle. |
