The insert is configured and related to the drill body so as to provide a single, radially extending cutting edge which has an effective neutral rake and negative lead. A specific insert structure is also provided for use in the drill. The disclosed insert comprises a solid body having parallel upper and lower faces each generally in the shape of an equilateral parallelogram and joined along their peripheral edges by side walls. One cutting edge is formed along the juncture of one side wall and the upper face and is inclined along its length toward the lower face. A second cutting edge is formed along the juncture of the lower face and a second side wall which intersects the first side wall at a corner. The second cutting edge is inclined along its length from the corner of the intersection toward the upper face. |
