Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A reamer incudes a core and a plurality of outer-circumference cutting edges provided on an outer circumference of the core and made of a hard tool material. The core extends from a front end to a rear end. The core is provided with a plurality of flutes from the front end to the rear end. A center-of-gravity adjustment portion, which adjusts a distance from a center of rotation to a center of gravity, is provided at least partially from terminal ends of the plurality of flutes on a rear end side to the rear end of the core. The center-of-gravity adjustment portion causes the deviation of the center of gravity from the center of rotation to be smaller than when no center-of-gravity adjustment portion is provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A reamer comprising: a core; and a plurality of outer-circumference cutting edges provided on an outer circumference of the core and made of a hard tool material, the core extending from a front end to a rear end, the core being provided with a plurality of flutes extending from the front end toward the rear end, a center-of-gravity adjustment portion being provided at least partially from terminal ends of the plurality of flutes on a rear end side toward the rear end of the core, the center-of-gravity adjustment portion causing the distance from the center of rotation to the center of gravity to be smaller than when the center-of-gravity adjustment portion is not provided, wherein the center-of-gravity adjustment portion is a lightened portion provided at a terminal end of one of the plurality of flutes, the lightened portion being a material reduction of a portion of the core. 2. A reamer comprising: a core; and a plurality of outer-circumference cutting edges provided on an outer circumference of the core and made of a hard tool material, the core extending from a front end to a read end, the core being provided with a plurality of flutes extending from the front end toward the rear end, a center-of-gravity adjustment portion being provided at least partially from terminal ends of the plurality of flutes on a rear end side toward the rear end of the core, the center-of-gravity adjustment portion causing the distance from the center of rotation to the center of gravity to be smaller than when the center-of-gravity adjustment portion is not provided, wherein the plurality of outer-circumference cutting edges have first to third outer-circumference cutting edges adjacent to each other, and a phase difference between the first and second outer-circumference cutting edges is smaller than a phase difference between the second and third outer-circumference cutting edges, and, wherein the center-of-gravity adjustment portion is provided at a phase corresponding to between the first and second outer-circumference cutting edges.
