A drill according to an exemplary embodiment of the invention comprises a shank from which the drill is driven; a body connected to the shank, the body having a surface; a flute in the body; a cutting edge at a drill point; and a peripheral relief surface which extends outwardly from the surface of the body to an outer circumference of the drill, wherein the peripheral relief surface, for a cross section of the drill perpendicular to a drill axis, intersects the outer circumference at a peripheral point at an edge of the flute. The drill has an improved capacity to withstand a loss of coolant during drilling without severe overheating of the drill or workpiece and with little damage to the drill and workpiece. |
