Abstract

In order to achieve as highly accurate an alignment of the frictional tool as possible and therefore as high a drilled hole quality as possible during the precision machining of a drilled hole, the cutting edges of the frictional tool are divided into two cutting groups, the cutting edges of which are spaced apart with respect to one another in each case by an axial spacing from one another. Here, the axial spacing is selected in such a way that, at a predefined first, slower feed speed, merely the cutting edges of the first cutting edge group are in engagement with the workpiece and, at a higher, predefined second feed speed, all cutting edges are in engagement with the workpiece.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rotary tool for precision machining of a drilled hole in a workpiece, the rotary tool comprising:
a tool head which extends in an axial direction,
the tool head having a plurality of cutting edges on its circumference, wherein the cutting edges are arranged on an identical cutting circle,
the cutting edges being divided into more than two cutting edge groups,
wherein the cutting edges of each cutting edge group are spaced apart axially from the cutting edges of the other cutting edge groups,
the cutting edge groups comprising a first cutting edge group and a second cutting edge group,
wherein the first and second cutting edge groups are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction by an axial spacing which is selected such that:
at a predefined first feed speed, only the cutting edges of the first cutting edge group are in engagement with the workpiece, and
at a predefined second feed speed which is faster than the first feed speed, the cutting edges of both the first and the second cutting edge group are in engagement with the workpiece.

2. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cutting edges of the first and the second cutting edge group are arranged alternately with respect to one another.

3. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two cutting edge groups have the same number of cutting edges.

4. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cutting edges of a respective cutting edge group are arranged to be substantially identically distributed around the circumference.

5. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first feed speed lies at from 0.01 to 0.05 mm axial feed per cutting edge and the second feed speed lies between 5 times and 10 times the first feed speed.

6. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the axial spacing lies between 0.03 mm and 0.1 mm.

7. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a respective cutting edge of the second cutting edge group is arranged asymmetrically at different angular spacing with respect to a leading and a trailing cutting edge of the first cutting edge group.

8. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the angular spacing from the leading cutting edge of the first cutting edge group is selected in such a way that, at a predefined second feed speed, the cutting capacity of the cutting edges of the first and the second cutting edge groups are identical.

9. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the angular spacing from the leading cutting edge is greater than from the trailing cutting edge of the first cutting edge group.

10. The rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotary tool comprises a frictional tool.

11. A method for precision machining of a workpiece with the aid of a rotary tool as claimed in claim 1 , in which method, at the beginning of the machining, a first slower feed speed is set, and the feed speed is increased after a predefined axial feed.

12. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a switchover is made to a second, higher feed speed.

13. The method as claimed in claim 11 , wherein a switch over is made to the higher feed speed at an axial feed between 0.2 mm and 0.5 mm.
