For example, an alloy step chamfering drill disclosed in Chinese patent literature (Application No.: CN201721377231.X) chamfers Drilling chamfers the edge of the hole, but when using a chamfering drill to process the hole, due to the different diameters of the holes, especially when chamfering holes that are too different from the chamfering drill, the chamfering effect on the edge of the hole It is not good, and it is not easy to control the size of the chamfer. Based on the above problems, the chamfer drill needs to be replaced to facilitate chamfering of the edge of the hole and improve the quality of chamfering the edge of the hole. Due to the chamfering of alloy The replacement method of the drill is not convenient and fast enough, which affects the work efficiency of the chamfer drill. To this end, we propose a fixed structure for alloy step chamfer drills.
