Abstract

A boring bit, especially a multi-blade boring bit. The bit preferably has a point symmetric cutting edge arrangement having main and secondary cutting edges that are tilted towards the axis of the boring bit. In order to stabilize the tool against vibrations cased by the cutting force, the secondary cutting edge is tilted along an effective length that is substantially axial in the direction of cutting thereby having a negative tool side rake.

Claims

1. A drill bit comprising:

a shank formed along a first end of said drill bit;

a cutting part formed along a second end of said drill bit opposite said first end;

a central longitudinal axis through both said shank and said cutting part;

at least primary and secondary cutting edges designed so that said drill bit drills into a full material of a metallic work piece to make a drillhole, said at least primary and secondary cutting edges being arranged in a point-symmetric arrangement, said primary cutting edge being located at said second end of said drill bit, said secondary cutting edge being located along a substantial axial length of said cutting part, and said at least primary and secondary cutting edges are inclined relative to said central longitudinal axis of said drill bit;

a flute formed along a substantial axial length of said cutting part;

an axial rake angle formed by helically disposing said flute, said secondary cutting edge being inclined in a cutting direction over a substantial axial effective length to thereby form a negative axial rake angle such that dynamic forces acting on said primary cutting edge apply tension to said drill bit, said axial rake angle ranging from between −

1°

to −

10°

.

2. The drill bit according to claim 1, wherein said side rake angle is matched to a lip angle of said secondary cutting edge.

3. The drill bit according to claim 1, wherein said arrangement of said cutting edges is formed on a cutting part.

4. The drill bit according to claim 3, wherein said cutting part is seated on a support part, which is made of any one of steel, high-speed steel, carbide, ceramic, and cermet.

5. The drill bit according to claim 3, wherein said cutting part is formed by a cutting insert.

6. The drill bit according to claim 5, wherein said cutting insert is joined detachably to said support part.

7. The drill bit according to claim 5, wherein said cutting insert is formed by a one-piece tip.

8. The drill bit according to claim 3, wherein said cutting insert is made of any one of high-speed steel, carbide, cermet, ceramic, polycrystalline diamond, and CBN cubic boron nitride.

9. The drill bit according to claim 1, wherein said point-symmetric arrangement of said cutting edges is formed in one piece with said drill bit.

10. The drill bit according to claim 9, wherein said drill bit is made of any one of high-speed steel, carbide, ceramic material, and cermet.

11. The drill bit according to claim 1, further comprising additional flutes corresponding to a number of said primary cutting edges.

12. The drill bit according to claim 11, wherein a pitch angle of a helix of said helical disposition on said secondary cutting edge corresponds to said negative side rake angle.

13. The drill bit according to claim 1, wherein said drill bit is formed as a deep-hole drill having an extremely high slenderness ratio thereby causing said drill bit to react particularly sensitively to compulsory stresses.

14. The drill bit according to claim 1, further comprising an internal coolant and a lubricant duct system with at least one outlet opening in a primary flank.

15. The drill bit according to claim 1, wherein an entirety of said secondary cutting edge is angled in a cutting direction.

16. The drill bit according to claim 1, wherein said secondary cutting edge has a negative side rake angle only starting from a predetermined axial distance form a point portion of said drill bit.

17. The drill bit according to claim 1, further comprising an internal cooling-duct system wherein a coolant and a lubricant are supplied under relatively high pressure to remove chips from said drillhole against a negative conveying effect of a negative helix.

18. The drill bit according to claim 1, further comprising another secondary cutting edge following said secondary cutting edge.
