DRILL WITH SPECIALIZED DRILL POINT GEOMETRY

摘要

The present invention relates to a drill (10) having an aggressive drill poi nt geometry. The point geometry allows greater stability and feed rates, while decreasing the heat generated at drill point. The present invention is provided by a drill comprising drill body (16) having at least two helical flutes (18), a pair of cutting surfaces on an end of the drill body (16), a web (36) formed between the two cutting edges (30), and a web thinning notch formed on either side of the web (36). Each notch forms a notch (40) cutting edge (44) having a positive rake angle.
