Twist Drill Nomenclature







Body

The portion of the drill extending from the extrame cutting end to the commencement of the shank.

Shank

The portion of the drill by which it is held and driven.

Flutes

The grooves in the body of the drill which provides lips, permit the removal of chips and allow cutting fluid to reach the lips.

Web

The central portion of the drill situated between the roots of the flutes and extending from the point end towards the shank. The point end of the web forms the chisel edge.

Lands

The cylindrically-ground surfaces on the leading edges of the drill flutes. The width of the land is measured at right angles to the flute helix.

Body Clearance

The portion of the body surface reduced in diameter to provide diametral clearance.

Heel

The edge formed by the intersection of the flute surface and the body clearance.

Point

The sharpened end of the drill, consisting of all that part of the drill which is shaped to produce lips, faces, flanks and chisel edge.

Face

The portion of the flute surface adjacent to the lip, on which the chip impinges as it is cut from the work.

Flank

The surface on a drill point, which extends behind the lip to the following flute.

LIP

(Cutting edge) The edge formed by the intersection of the flank and face.

Chisel Edge

The edge formed by the intersection of the flanks.

  


Technical Data


Type of Thinning Effects Application
  • For general purpose
  • Easy thinning process
  • General material
  • Large, decrease in thrust
  • Minimized skidding or walking of the drill point when starting a hole
  • When specially designed heavy web drill
  • For deep-hope drilling
  • Automotive crankshaft
  • Materials of poor machinability such as stainless steel and heat resistant alloys. (not heavy cutting)
  • Maintains strength of the point
  • Excellent cooling effect
  • Good chip discharge
  • Same as type S
  • For deep-hole drilling
  • Decreases thrust and prevents chipping of cutting edges
  • For heavy cutting
  • Used mainly for rails and manganese steel


  


Straight Shank Jobber Drills HSS


Type of HSS `JK' Jobber Drills Range of Application
Type `N' RH cutting Standard drills for drilling: steel and cast steel, alloyed and non-alloyed, grey cast iron, spheroidal iron, sintered powder metal, German silver, graphite, malleable cast iron etc.
Type `H' RH cutting For drilling hard, crumbly materials such as brass, magnesium alloys, bronze, phosphor bronze, slate, mica, pertinax, zamak (thin sections), electron (thin sections).

Insulating materials, ebonite, bakelite, galalithe, fibre, celluloid, synthetic resins, horn compounds, eternit, hardboard, perspex and plastic laminates.

For these and similar materials a point angle of 1400 is recommended when drilling in the plane of the laminations: for drilling at right angles to the laminations a point angle of 80-1000will be found to give the best results.

Note: Polishing of the cutting surfaces will improve drill performance in eternit or hardboard.
Type `S' RH cutting For drilling soft materials forming long stringy swarf, such as: aluminium, aluminium alloys, zinc, refined copper, argalium, soft synthetic materials, wood etc.
