The present invention relates to a
drill bit and a method of manufacturing a perforated article. In the case where the rigidity of the main shaft of a perforating
machine is sufficient, it goes without saying, but even in the case where perforation is performed using a hand-held tool rotation device or the rigidity of the main shaft of the perforating
machine is low, a workpiece composed of a
composite material or a
metal or the like can be perforated with high accuracy. The
drill bit of the embodiment has a first
cutting edge formed on the leading end side in such a manner that the leading end angle is continuously or discontinuously reduced from the leading end side to the trailing end side, and on the other hand, the clearance angle is continuously or discontinuously reduced from the leading end side to the trailing end side, and is used to perforate a workpiece to form a
pilot hole; a second
cutting edge formed by being positioned away from the first
cutting edge toward the trailing end side, and used to perform finishing of the
pilot hole, and having a clearance angle at the
maximum diameter position; and a vibration-damping portion formed between the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge, and reducing vibration of the second cutting edge by being inserted into the
pilot hole processed by the first cutting edge.
