[0030] The drill 1 according to the first embodiment has a first cutting edge 10 and a second cutting edge 13, but this disclosure is not limited to the above configuration. The drill 1 of this disclosure may have a first cutting edge 10 and not have a second cutting edge 13.

[0031] (Second Embodiment) Next, the configuration of the drill 1 according to the second embodiment will be described. The drill 1 according to the second embodiment differs from the drill 1 according to the first embodiment mainly in that the fourth boundary region 65 is not located on the extension of the second boundary region 55, and the other configurations are substantially the same as those of the drill 1 according to the first embodiment. The following description will focus on the configurations that differ from the drill 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0032] Figure 6 is a schematic front view showing the configuration of a drill according to the second embodiment. As shown in Figure 6, the fourth boundary region 65 does not have to be located on the extension of the second boundary region 55 when viewed along axis A. The fourth boundary region 65 may be located forward in the rotational direction compared to the second boundary region 55.

[0033] Figure 7 is a schematic perspective view showing a part of the first body region 81 of the drill 1 according to the second embodiment. As shown in Figure 7, the fourth boundary region 65 may be located forward in the rotational direction of the third boundary region 64. The third boundary region 64 may be located forward in the rotational direction of the second boundary region 55.

[0034] (Third Embodiment) Next, the configuration of the drill 1 according to the third embodiment will be described. The drill 1 according to the third embodiment differs from the drill 1 according to the first embodiment mainly in that the thinning surface 50 is connected to the first outer peripheral surface 70, and the other configurations are substantially the same as those of the drill 1 according to the first embodiment. The following description will focus on the configurations that differ from the drill 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0035] Figure 8 is a schematic front view showing the configuration of the drill 1 according to the third embodiment. Figure 9 is a schematic perspective view showing a part of the first body region 81 of the drill 1 according to the third embodiment. As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the thinning surface 50 is connected to the first outer peripheral surface 70. The receding surface 60 is spaced apart from the first relief surface 30. A part of the thinning surface 50 is located between the second relief surface portion 32 and the receding surface 60.

[0036] As shown in Figure 8, when viewed along axis A, the third boundary line 91, which is the boundary between the second receding surface 62 and the thinning surface 50, may be located behind the first boundary line 53, which is the boundary between the thinning surface 50 and the second relief surface 32, in the rotational direction. As shown in Figure 9, the outer peripheral end of the third boundary line 91, which is the boundary between the second receding surface 62 and the thinning surface 50, may be located behind the outer peripheral end of the first boundary line 53, which is the boundary between the thinning surface 50 and the second relief surface 32, in the axial direction.

[0037] Next, the operation and effects of the drill 1 according to this embodiment will be described. When drilling with the drill 1, a blanking hole (pilot hole) with a bottom surface is formed first, and then the drilling process is carried out to expand the blanking hole. In the initial stages of drilling, the blanking hole is expanded mainly by the outer peripheral edge of the cutting edge scraping the side walls of the blanking hole.

[0038] When using a conventional drill to cut the side wall of a cast-out hole, chips cut by the outer edge of the cutting edge can become lodged between the side wall of the cast-out hole and the outer surface of the drill 1. The lodged chips are pressed against the side wall of the cast-out hole by the outer surface of the drill 1 and become almost fixed in place. Furthermore, as the drill 1 rotates, the coolant supply hole 2, located behind the cutting edge in the direction of rotation, approaches the lodged chips. As a result, the lodged chips can become trapped in the nearby coolant supply hole 2.

[0039] As drill 1 moves further downward along the axial direction, it begins to cut the bottom surface of the cast hole. The bottom surface of the cast hole is cut mainly by the cutting edges located towards the center of drill 1 (specifically, the thinning cutting edge portion 12 and the main cutting edge portion 11). The chips cut by the thinning cutting edge portion 12 and the main cutting edge portion 11 pass through the thinning surface 50 and the chip discharge groove surface 4 and approach the coolant supply hole 2 located in the forward direction of rotation. As a result, chips may get stuck in the coolant supply hole 2.

[0040] The drill 1 according to this embodiment has a thinning surface 50 and a recessed surface 60. Coolant supply holes 2 are provided in the recessed surface 60. In a cross-section parallel to and including the axis A, the recessed surface 60 is located axially rearward relative to the thinning surface 50. This prevents chips from getting stuck in the coolant supply holes 2. In particular, in high-efficiency machining, chips tend to be long and are difficult to break apart. Even in such cases, it is possible to prevent chips from getting stuck in the coolant supply holes 2.

[0041] Furthermore, according to the drill 1 of this embodiment, in a cross-section parallel to and including the axis A, the opening edge 3 of the coolant supply hole 2 in the receding surface 60 has a first position 41 and a second position 42. In a cross-section parallel to and including the axis A, if the first angle θ1 is defined as the angle between the axis A and the straight line passing through the first position 41 and the second position 42, and which is 90° or less, and the second angle θ2 is defined as the angle between the axis A and the tangent to the thinning surface 50 at the boundary between the thinning surface 50 and the receding surface 60, and which is 90° or less, then the first angle θ1 is smaller than the second angle θ2.

[0042] When the first angle θ1 is the same as the second angle θ2, the chips that have flowed along the thinning surface 50 will continue to flow toward the coolant supply holes 2 formed in the receding surface 60, making it easier for the chips to enter the coolant supply holes 2. On the other hand, when the first angle θ1 is smaller than the second angle θ2, the direction in which the chips flow can be changed to a direction different from the direction toward the coolant supply holes 2. This prevents the chips from getting stuck in the coolant supply holes 2.

[0043] According to the drill 1 of this embodiment, the first angle θ1 may be 0° or more and 45° or less. This allows the opening area of ​​the coolant supply hole 2 to be increased. Therefore, it is possible to further prevent chips from getting stuck in the coolant supply hole 2.

[0044] According to the drill 1 according to this embodiment, when the distance between the front end 5 of the drill 1 and the front end 5 of the coolant supply hole 2 in the direction parallel to the axis A is the first distance W1, the value obtained by dividing the first distance W1 by the diameter of the drill 1 may be 0.1 or more and 0.7 or less. By setting the value obtained by dividing the first distance W1 by the diameter of the drill 1 to 0.1 or more, it is possible to prevent the chips from being caught in the coolant supply hole 2. By setting the value obtained by dividing the first distance W1 by the diameter of the drill 1 to 0.7 or less, sufficient coolant can be supplied to the cutting edge, so that the cutting edge can be effectively cooled.

[0045] According to the drill 1 according to this embodiment, when the distance between the front end 5 of the coolant supply hole 2 and the rear end 6 of the coolant supply hole 2 in the direction parallel to the axis A is the second distance W2, the value obtained by dividing the second distance W2 by the diameter of the drill 1 may be 0.05 or more and 1.08 or less. By setting the value obtained by dividing the second distance W2 by the diameter of the drill 1 to 0.05 or more, the supply amount of the coolant can be increased. By setting the value obtained by dividing the second distance W2 by the diameter of the drill 1 to 1.08 or less, high strength can be maintained.

[0046] Using the drill 1 according to the first embodiment, drilling was performed. The material of the drill 1 is cemented carbide. The workpiece material is aluminum. First, a pilot hole was formed in the workpiece material. The depth of the pilot hole was 20.7 mm. The peripheral speed (Vc) of the cutting edge in the pilot hole machining was 120 m / min. The pressure of the coolant was 1 MPa.

[0047] Next, drilling was performed so as to expand the pilot hole. The rotational speed of the drill 1 was 10,000 revolutions per minute. The peripheral speed (Vc) of the cutting edge was 231 m / min. Between the hole depth of 0 mm and 1.8 mm, the feed per tooth (f) was 0.4 mm / revolution. Between the hole depth of 1.8 mm and 24.1 mm, the feed per tooth (f) was 1.2 mm / revolution.

[0048] After the drilling process was completed, it was confirmed that no chips were caught in the coolant supply hole 2 of the drill 1. As described above, according to the drill 1 according to the present embodiment, it was confirmed that it is possible to prevent chips from being caught in the coolant supply hole 2 in high-efficiency machining where the feed per edge (f) is 1 mm / revolution or more.
