Abstract

Provided is a drill that can drill with good accuracy without over-processing during deburring. The drill includes: a drill main body that is rotated around a central axis; a main cutting edge provided at a leading end of the drill main body; and a deburring cutting edge that is provided on a base end side of the drill main body, adjacent to the main cutting edge, and performs deburring. The deburring cutting edge is similar in diameter to the main cutting edge and has an angle (β) smaller than an angle (α) formed by the main cutting edge relative to the central axis.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A drill comprising:
a drill main body that is rotated around a central axis;
a main cutting edge provided at a leading end of the drill main body; and
a deburring portion that is provided on a base end side of the drill main body, adjacent to the main cutting edge, and performs deburring, wherein
the deburring portion is provided with a deburring cutting edge that is similar in diameter to the main cutting edge and has an angle smaller by 5° or more and 10° or less than an angle formed by the main cutting edge relative to the central axis, the deburring cutting edge being twisted in a same direction as the main cutting edge.

2. A drilling device comprising:
the drill according to claim 1 ;
a rotating shaft that is fixed to the drill main body and applies a torque to the drill main body; and
a rotation speed varying unit that varies a rotation speed of the rotating shaft, wherein
the rotation speed varying unit rotates the rotating shaft at a first rotation speed when drilling is performed by the main cutting edge, and rotates the rotating shaft at a second rotation speed that is a rotation speed lower than the first rotation speed when deburring is performed by the deburring portion.

3. A drill comprising:
a drill main body that is rotated around a central axis;
a main cutting edge provided at a leading end of the drill main body; and
a deburring portion that is provided on a base end side of the drill main body, adjacent to the main cutting edge, and performs deburring, wherein
the deburring portion is a tapered surface of which a diameter decreases in a direction away from the main cutting edge, the tapered surface being formed entirely around the central axis.

4. A drilling device comprising:
the drill according to claim 3 ;
a rotating shaft that is fixed to the drill main body and applies a torque to the drill main body; and
a rotation speed varying unit that varies a rotation speed of the rotating shaft, wherein
the rotation speed varying unit rotates the rotating shaft at a first rotation speed when drilling is performed by the main cutting edge, and rotates the rotating shaft at a second rotation speed that is a rotation speed lower than the first rotation speed when deburring is performed by the deburring portion.
