- German Patent No. 196 05 157 A1 describes a drilling tool of the prior art in which the cutting head projects by means of a stud into a receiving recess on the face of the drill shaft, where it is fixed in position with a screw that is oriented at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the drill.
- the drilling head is fixed in position in the drill shaft with a force fit that acts in the axial direction and in the direction of rotation of the drill.
- One object of the invention is to develop a twist drill for drilling having a replaceable drill tip, as well as a replaceable drill tip for use in a twist drill.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a drill bit with an alternative fixing of the cutting head.
- This object can be accomplished in a drill bit with a drill bit shaft and a cutting insert that forms the tip area of the drill bit and is detachably fixed to the drill bit shaft.
- the cutting insert is in contact with a bearing surface on the face of the drill shaft and extends with a fixing stud that projects centrally from the bearing surface into a receiving recess, which is configured complementary thereto in the face of the drill shaft.
- At least one peripheral segment of the fixing stud has a first longitudinal segment which merges with a screw surface into a second longitudinal section. The screw surface points away from the drill shaft, slopes upward in the direction of rotation of the drill bit toward the drill bit tip, and interacts with an opposite surface on the inner wall of the receiving recess.
- the cutting head is in contact with a bearing surface against the face of the drill shaft, and extends by means a fixing stud that projects centrally out of the bearing surface into a complementary receiving recess in the face of the drill shaft.
- the peripheral area of the fixing stud that interacts with the inner wall of the recess has two longitudinal segments, namely a first longitudinal segment which, with a screw surface that points toward the drill tip, slopes upward in the direction of rotation of the drill and interacts with an opposite surface on the inner wall of the receiving recess and merges into a second longitudinal segment.
- the second longitudinal segment of the fixing stud tapers toward its free end.
- the receiving recess becomes narrower by the same extent toward its base.
- the shaft walls that are adjacent to the receiving recess can be correspondingly thicker and more stable in this area.
- the tool shaft is therefore more stable with regard to a force that is exerted on the cutting head at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the drill than would be the case with a receiving recess that becomes wider toward its base in an approximately swallowtail shape.
- a particularly stable mounting and centering of the fixing stud in the receiving recess is essentially guaranteed if the free end of the fixing stud is provided with a cylindrical peripheral surface and the area adjacent to it and extending to the screw surface is provided with a conical peripheral surface.
- a rotation stop projects from the face of the drill shaft and extends into a complementary recess in the bearing surface of the cutting insert.
- the bearing surfaces of the drill shaft and the face of the tool shaft also preferably each extend at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the drill.
- the screw surface can form an angle of 90° with the longitudinal axis of the drill.
- the screw surface is preferably oriented at an angle, however, and forms an angle which is ⁇ 90° and >45°. The angle is preferably 60°.
- the surfaces of the fixing stud, as well as the surfaces of the drill bit shaft that engage with the surfaces of the fixing stud, can preferably be suitably designed to withstand torque and axial forces.
- torque forces are exerted on a drill.
- axial forces may push and pull on the drill in the direction along the longitudinal axis of the drill, especially during retraction of the drill from an object being drilled.
- the peripheral segments of the fixing stud may therefore preferably be designed to withstand such forces since the peripheral segments may essentially perform a retaining function preferably to prevent the cutting insert from being pulled from the drill shaft during drilling.
- the inner surfaces of the drill shaft may also be designed preferably to withstand the forces that are acting on the cutting insert to also substantially prevent the cutting insert from being pulled from the drill shaft. Further, since the cutting insert may essentially be screwed into place in the drill shaft in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the drill, torque forces may be exerted on the cutting insert. According to at least one possible embodiment of the present invention, the inner surfaces of the drill shaft against which the sides of the cutting insert rest preferably must be suitably designed to essentially prevent the cutting insert from being further screwed into the shaft, which would most likely result in damage of the shaft and the insert. By strengthening the contact surfaces of the shaft and the cutting insert, the torque and axial forces can be substantially withstood to prevent damage to the drill.
- the chip flutes of the drill bit may each be divided into essentially two portions: the portion of the chip flute on the drill shaft and the portion of the chip flute on the cutting insert.
- the two chip flute portions can be aligned to form a single chip flute surface.
- the cutting inserts may not be precisely manufactured due to the inherent imperfections that occur during any manufacturing process. To account for such imperfections that may occur, in one possible embodiment of the present invention it may not be necessary to have precisely aligned chip flute portions. Since the chip flute portions may simply serve to remove chips, exact precision in their design may not be a requirement for proper operation of the drill. Further, the centering of the drill tip is often more important to a drilling process than the precise design of the chip flutes, since an off-center drill tip will often produce a wobbling motion of the drill during drilling, which is in many cases undesirable.
- the central fixing stud of the cutting insert can provide a centering function that essentially centers the drill tip along the central longitudinal axis of the drill bit. The present invention, in at least one possible embodiment, therefore teaches that as long as the drill tip of the cutting insert is designed to lie on the central longitudinal axis, it may be possible for the chip flute portions to be slightly misaligned without substantially affecting the performance of the drill.
- Drills such as the type described above may be used, in at least one possible embodiment, to cut various materials, such as metals, wood, plastics, composites, polymers, steel, and other hard materials.
- drills may also possibly be used in machine-operated, automatic drilling systems, such as numerically-controlled drilling systems on assembly lines.
- replaceable cutting or drilling inserts it may be possible in at least one possible embodiment of the present invention, to substantially maintain the overall length of the drill by replacing the cutting inserts when they become worn. By substantially maintaining the length of the drill, it may not be necessary to reconfigure or reprogram the machinery using the drill in the automatic drilling process since the drill will not substantially change in length.

- FIG. 13 is a view of the drill in FIG. 8 with additional features according to at least one possible embodiment of the present invention.
- the drill bits illustrated in the accompanying drawings are composed of a drill shaft 1 and a cutting insert 2 .
- the cutting insert 2 a on the drill illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 is three-edged. Accordingly, there are a total of three chip flutes 3 in the drill shaft 1 , which continue with chip flute segments 3 a into the cutting insert 2 a .
- the cutting insert has three major cutting edges 4 which—as can be seen in particular in the plan view from overhead in FIG. 3—are oriented in approximately a star shape and converge in the drill tip 5 .
- the three edges of the cutting insert mean that the cutting insert, likewise shown in the plan view from overhead in FIG. 3, has approximately the shape of a trifurcated star.
- the cutting insert 2 a has a flat bearing surface 6 , which is in flat contact against the face 7 of the drill shaft 1 .
- the bearing surface 6 and the face 7 extend at a right angle with respect to the center longitudinal axis 8 of the drill bit.
- Shaped onto the bearing surface 6 is a central fixing stud 9 , which extends in the direction of the center longitudinal axis 8 .
- the fixing stud 9 lies in a complementary configured receiving recess 10 in the drill shaft 1 , where it is effectively fixed by axial undercuts.
- the receiving recess 10 emerges into the chip flutes 3 with lateral openings 11 that extend to the face 7 .
- the cutting surface areas that form the chip flute segments 3 a and the chip flute 3 of the drill shaft 1 are aligned with one another, whereby they are interrupted only by the joint 12 between the cutting insert 2 a and the drill shaft 1 .
- the chip flute segments 3 a divide the fixing stud 9 into three peripheral segments 13 , which interact with the inside walls 14 of the receiving recess 10 .
- the fixing stud 9 has a first longitudinal segment 15 which merges with a screw surface 16 into a second longitudinal segment 17 .
- the screw surface 16 points toward the drill tip 5 and projects in the manner of a radial shoulder from the peripheral segment 13 .
- the screw surface 16 slopes upward in the direction of rotation 18 of the drill bit toward the drill tip 5 and interacts with a complementary configured opposite surface 19 on the inside walls 14 of the receiving recess 10 .
- the cutting insert is inserted with the fixing stud 9 into the receiving recess 10 so that its peripheral segments 13 are located in the vicinity of the openings 11 .
- the screw surfaces 16 arrive below the opposite surfaces 19 on the inner walls 14 , as a result of which the cutting insert is pressed in the direction indicated by the arrow 20 with its bearing surface 6 against the face 7 .
- the surface of the second longitudinal segment 17 that interacts with the inner walls 14 can be a partly cylindrical surface as illustrated in FIG. 6.
- the second longitudinal segment 17 tapers conically toward the drill shaft.
- special preference is given to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2, in which adjacent to the screw surface 16 there is a conical segment 21 , which merges into a cylindrical segment 22 .
- the cylindrical segment 22 effects a centering of the cutting insert 2 a in the receiving recess 10 .
- the diameter of the cylindrical segment 22 can be relatively small compared to the segments adjacent to it toward the tip and that have the screw surfaces 16 necessary for the axial bracing.
- the area 23 of the receiving recess 10 that interacts with the cylindrical segment 22 can also have a small inside diameter. That in turn means a greater wall thickness 24 in the area 23 and thus increased stability. Especially in the area 23 have a greater effect on account of the lever effect. However, the greater wall thickness 24 in this area guarantees increased stability of the drill shaft 1 .
- the torque forces act on the cutting insert 2 a during a drilling procedure. Due to the lever effect, a large portion of the torque forces are exerted at the transition between the bearing surface 6 and the first longitudinal segment 15 . Therefore, it is advantageous for the fixing stud 9 to have an increased thickness at that particular area. Further, since the majority of the torque forces are concentrated on that particular area, it is possible for the fixing stud 9 to decrease in thickness in the area of the cylindrical segment 22 . In addition, by decreasing the thickness of the fixing stud 9 , it is thereby possible to have an increased thickness of the shaft 1 in the area 23 . As torque forces are exerted on the cutting insert 2 a , force is also exerted on the portions of the shaft 1 about the recess 10 .
- the lever effect due to the lever effect, the majority of the force is exerted on the area 23 near the bottom of the recess 10 .
- the wall thickness 24 can be consequently increased to compensate for the greater torque forces exerted in that particular area 23 .
- the lever effect therefore can be accounted for by increasing thickness of the shaft 1 and the fixing stud 9 at the areas where the concentration of force is the greatest.
- the screw surfaces 16 on the fixing stud 9 of a cutting insert 2 can basically form an angle of 90° with the center longitudinal axis 8 of the drill or of the cutting insert. However, preference is given to screw surfaces 16 that are oriented at an angle and form an angle ⁇ with the center longitudinal axis 8 which is ⁇ 90° and ⁇ 45°.
- FIGS. 8 to 12 show a drill bit with two chip flutes and accordingly a two-edged cutting insert 2 b .
- the configuration of the fixing stud 9 and of the receiving recess 10 of this drill bit is the same as that of the drill bit described above.
- Two rotation stops 25 project from the face 7 a of the drill shaft 1 .
- the rotation stops 25 are diametrically opposite each other and are realized with four surfaces in an essentially wedge shape.
- Their outside surface 26 is formed by the peripheral surface of the drill shaft 1 .
- Their inside surface 27 interacts with a complementary configured opposite surface 28 , which is part of the wall of a recess 29 in the bearing surface 6 of the cutting insert 2 b , which recess 29 holds the rotation stop 25 .
- the rotation stops also have two inclined surfaces, whereby the one inclined surface 30 points in the direction of rotation 18 of the drill bit and merge into a face 7 a .
- the other inclined surface 31 points opposite to the direction of rotation 18 of the drill bit and is a partial surface of the face 32 that forms the chip flute 3 .
- the inclined surface 30 interacts with an inclined surface 33 that is formed from the wall of the recess 29 and acts as an opposite bearing surface.
- FIG. 13 is a view of the drill shown in FIG. 8 with additional features according to at least one possible embodiment of the present invention.
- the drill bit has a drill shank portion 101 that is inserted into a tool chuck 102 .
- the tool chuck 102 holds the drill bit and provides a driving force to rotate the drill during a drilling process.
- the drill shown has a two-edged cutting insert design, but is not the only possible embodiment. This drill bit and chuck configuration may also be used with cutting inserts and bits with more than two edges, such as a cutting insert with three edges, as shown in FIGS. 1 - 3 .
- One feature (or aspect) of an embodiment of the invention resides broadly in a drill bit with a drill bit shaft ( 1 ) and a cutting insert that forms the tip area of the drill bit and is detachable fixed to the drill bit shaft, and at least one chip flute ( 3 ) that is located in the drill bit shaft ( 1 ) and extends into the cutting insert ( 2 ), whereby the cutting insert is in contact with a bearing surface ( 6 ) on the face ( 7 ) of the frill shaft ( 1 ) and extends with a fixing stud ( 9 ) that projects centrally from the bearing surface ( 6 ) into a receiving recess ( 10 ) which is configured complementary thereto in the face ( 7 ) of the drill shaft ( 1 ), characterized by the fact that at least one peripheral segment ( 13 ) of the fixing stud ( 9 ) has a first longitudinal segment ( 15 ) which with a screw surface ( 16 ) that points away from the drill shaft ( 1 ), slopes upward in the direction of rotation ( 18 ) of the drill bit

- 1. Field of the Invention
- The invention relates to a twist drill for drilling having a replaceable drill tip. This invention further relates to a replaceable drill tip for use in a twist drill
- Additionally, this invention relates to a drill bit with a replaceable drill bit.
- 2. Background Information
- The modern metalworking trade primarily uses twist drills to make borings. Depending on the application, these twist drills can differ in terms of their cutting material and geometry. The cutting material traditionally used is increasingly being replaced by different types of cutting material that have a significantly higher resistance to abrasion. For large drilling tools, however, a drill made entirely of such abrasion-resistant materials is generally too expensive, and is not economical in spite of its excellent cutting performance. Alternatives are twist drills in which a drill tip made of abrasion-resistant materials is permanently attached to a carrier tool which is generally made of cheaper, more traditional materials. The disadvantage of these tools, however, is that they can be repainted only to a restricted extent. As soon as the short cutting portion made of abrasion-resistant materials has been used up, the entire tool has to be scrapped.
- To reduce overall costs and reduce or eliminate waste of material, it is advantageous to construct a drill with a replaceable cutting tip, as discussed herein. Replaceable cutting tips permit a user to replace the cutting tip when the cutting tip is worn down without having to replace the entire drill.
- On a drill bit of this type, a cutting head is detachably fixed to a drill shaft. German Patent No. 196 05 157 A1 describes a drilling tool of the prior art in which the cutting head projects by means of a stud into a receiving recess on the face of the drill shaft, where it is fixed in position with a screw that is oriented at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the drill. On a drilling tool of the prior art described in WO 98/53943, the drilling head is fixed in position in the drill shaft with a force fit that acts in the axial direction and in the direction of rotation of the drill.
- One object of the invention is to develop a twist drill for drilling having a replaceable drill tip, as well as a replaceable drill tip for use in a twist drill.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a drill bit with an alternative fixing of the cutting head.
- This object can be accomplished in a drill bit with a drill bit shaft and a cutting insert that forms the tip area of the drill bit and is detachably fixed to the drill bit shaft. There is at least one chip flute that is located in the drill bit shaft and extends into the cutting insert. The cutting insert is in contact with a bearing surface on the face of the drill shaft and extends with a fixing stud that projects centrally from the bearing surface into a receiving recess, which is configured complementary thereto in the face of the drill shaft. At least one peripheral segment of the fixing stud has a first longitudinal segment which merges with a screw surface into a second longitudinal section. The screw surface points away from the drill shaft, slopes upward in the direction of rotation of the drill bit toward the drill bit tip, and interacts with an opposite surface on the inner wall of the receiving recess.
- The cutting head is in contact with a bearing surface against the face of the drill shaft, and extends by means a fixing stud that projects centrally out of the bearing surface into a complementary receiving recess in the face of the drill shaft. The peripheral area of the fixing stud that interacts with the inner wall of the recess has two longitudinal segments, namely a first longitudinal segment which, with a screw surface that points toward the drill tip, slopes upward in the direction of rotation of the drill and interacts with an opposite surface on the inner wall of the receiving recess and merges into a second longitudinal segment. When the drill head is designed in this manner, it can be easily inserted with its fixing stud into the receiving recess and fixed in position opposite to the direction of rotation of the drill. The screw surface is thereby pushed onto the opposite surface of the receiving recess and the cutting head is pressed with its bearing surface onto the face of the drill shaft. This fixing is further strengthened when the drill is in operation.
- In one preferred embodiment, the second longitudinal segment of the fixing stud tapers toward its free end. The receiving recess becomes narrower by the same extent toward its base. The shaft walls that are adjacent to the receiving recess can be correspondingly thicker and more stable in this area. The tool shaft is therefore more stable with regard to a force that is exerted on the cutting head at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the drill than would be the case with a receiving recess that becomes wider toward its base in an approximately swallowtail shape. A particularly stable mounting and centering of the fixing stud in the receiving recess is essentially guaranteed if the free end of the fixing stud is provided with a cylindrical peripheral surface and the area adjacent to it and extending to the screw surface is provided with a conical peripheral surface.
- To limit the axial strain between the cutting insert and the tool shaft and to create a defined limit position for the cutting insert, in an additional embodiment of the invention, a rotation stop projects from the face of the drill shaft and extends into a complementary recess in the bearing surface of the cutting insert. The bearing surfaces of the drill shaft and the face of the tool shaft also preferably each extend at a right angle to the longitudinal axis of the drill. The screw surface can form an angle of 90° with the longitudinal axis of the drill. The screw surface is preferably oriented at an angle, however, and forms an angle which is <90° and >45°. The angle is preferably 60°. As a result of the inclined position of the screw surface, the cutting insert is pushed, in addition to the axial strain, with a force that centers it and is directed toward the center longitudinal axis of the drill.
- In at least one possible embodiment of the present invention, the surfaces of the fixing stud, as well as the surfaces of the drill bit shaft that engage with the surfaces of the fixing stud, can preferably be suitably designed to withstand torque and axial forces. During drilling of an object, torque forces are exerted on a drill. In addition, axial forces may push and pull on the drill in the direction along the longitudinal axis of the drill, especially during retraction of the drill from an object being drilled. The peripheral segments of the fixing stud may therefore preferably be designed to withstand such forces since the peripheral segments may essentially perform a retaining function preferably to prevent the cutting insert from being pulled from the drill shaft during drilling. Conversely, in at least one possible embodiment of the present invention, the inner surfaces of the drill shaft may also be designed preferably to withstand the forces that are acting on the cutting insert to also substantially prevent the cutting insert from being pulled from the drill shaft. Further, since the cutting insert may essentially be screwed into place in the drill shaft in a direction opposite the direction of rotation of the drill, torque forces may be exerted on the cutting insert. According to at least one possible embodiment of the present invention, the inner surfaces of the drill shaft against which the sides of the cutting insert rest preferably must be suitably designed to essentially prevent the cutting insert from being further screwed into the shaft, which would most likely result in damage of the shaft and the insert. By strengthening the contact surfaces of the shaft and the cutting insert, the torque and axial forces can be substantially withstood to prevent damage to the drill.
- In at least one other possible embodiment of the present invention, the chip flutes of the drill bit may each be divided into essentially two portions: the portion of the chip flute on the drill shaft and the portion of the chip flute on the cutting insert. When the cutting insert is screwed into the drill shaft, the two chip flute portions can be aligned to form a single chip flute surface. Although it may preferably be desirable to design the cutting insert and the drill shaft such that the chip flute portions are exactly aligned to form a chip flute that is substantially smooth and continuous, such a design may require high precision when manufacturing the cutting inserts and the drill shafts. It is well known, however, that any manufacturing process, no matter how precise, is subject to errors, tolerances and imperfections. It is therefore possible that the cutting inserts may not be precisely manufactured due to the inherent imperfections that occur during any manufacturing process. To account for such imperfections that may occur, in one possible embodiment of the present invention it may not be necessary to have precisely aligned chip flute portions. Since the chip flute portions may simply serve to remove chips, exact precision in their design may not be a requirement for proper operation of the drill. Further, the centering of the drill tip is often more important to a drilling process than the precise design of the chip flutes, since an off-center drill tip will often produce a wobbling motion of the drill during drilling, which is in many cases undesirable. The central fixing stud of the cutting insert can provide a centering function that essentially centers the drill tip along the central longitudinal axis of the drill bit. The present invention, in at least one possible embodiment, therefore teaches that as long as the drill tip of the cutting insert is designed to lie on the central longitudinal axis, it may be possible for the chip flute portions to be slightly misaligned without substantially affecting the performance of the drill.
- Drills such as the type described above may be used, in at least one possible embodiment, to cut various materials, such as metals, wood, plastics, composites, polymers, steel, and other hard materials. In addition, such drills may also possibly be used in machine-operated, automatic drilling systems, such as numerically-controlled drilling systems on assembly lines. By having replaceable cutting or drilling inserts, it may be possible in at least one possible embodiment of the present invention, to substantially maintain the overall length of the drill by replacing the cutting inserts when they become worn. By substantially maintaining the length of the drill, it may not be necessary to reconfigure or reprogram the machinery using the drill in the automatic drilling process since the drill will not substantially change in length.

- FIG. 13 is a view of the drill in FIG. 8 with additional features according to at least one possible embodiment of the present invention.
- The drill bits illustrated in the accompanying drawings are composed of a
drill shaft 1 and acutting insert 2. The cuttinginsert 2 a on the drill illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 5 is three-edged. Accordingly, there are a total of threechip flutes 3 in thedrill shaft 1, which continue withchip flute segments 3 a into the cuttinginsert 2 a. The cutting insert has threemajor cutting edges 4 which—as can be seen in particular in the plan view from overhead in FIG. 3—are oriented in approximately a star shape and converge in thedrill tip 5. The three edges of the cutting insert mean that the cutting insert, likewise shown in the plan view from overhead in FIG. 3, has approximately the shape of a trifurcated star. - The
cutting insert 2 a has aflat bearing surface 6, which is in flat contact against theface 7 of thedrill shaft 1. The bearingsurface 6 and theface 7 extend at a right angle with respect to the centerlongitudinal axis 8 of the drill bit. Shaped onto the bearingsurface 6 is acentral fixing stud 9, which extends in the direction of the centerlongitudinal axis 8. When the drill bit is inserted, the fixingstud 9 lies in a complementary configured receivingrecess 10 in thedrill shaft 1, where it is effectively fixed by axial undercuts. The receivingrecess 10 emerges into the chip flutes 3 withlateral openings 11 that extend to theface 7. When the drill bit is inserted as illustrated in FIG. 1, the cutting surface areas that form thechip flute segments 3 a and thechip flute 3 of thedrill shaft 1 are aligned with one another, whereby they are interrupted only by the joint 12 between the cuttinginsert 2 a and thedrill shaft 1. - The
chip flute segments 3 a divide the fixingstud 9 into threeperipheral segments 13, which interact with theinside walls 14 of the receivingrecess 10. The fixingstud 9 has a firstlongitudinal segment 15 which merges with ascrew surface 16 into a secondlongitudinal segment 17. Thescrew surface 16 points toward thedrill tip 5 and projects in the manner of a radial shoulder from theperipheral segment 13. Thescrew surface 16 slopes upward in the direction ofrotation 18 of the drill bit toward thedrill tip 5 and interacts with a complementary configuredopposite surface 19 on theinside walls 14 of the receivingrecess 10. To essentially fix the cutting insert to thedrill shaft 1, the cutting insert is inserted with the fixingstud 9 into the receivingrecess 10 so that itsperipheral segments 13 are located in the vicinity of theopenings 11. As the result of a rotation in the direction opposite to the direction ofrotation 18 of the drill bit, the screw surfaces 16 arrive below theopposite surfaces 19 on theinner walls 14, as a result of which the cutting insert is pressed in the direction indicated by thearrow 20 with itsbearing surface 6 against theface 7. - The surface of the second
longitudinal segment 17 that interacts with theinner walls 14 can be a partly cylindrical surface as illustrated in FIG. 6. In the exemplary embodiment illustrated in FIG. 7, the secondlongitudinal segment 17 tapers conically toward the drill shaft. However, special preference is given to the configuration illustrated in FIG. 2, in which adjacent to thescrew surface 16 there is aconical segment 21, which merges into acylindrical segment 22. Thecylindrical segment 22 effects a centering of the cuttinginsert 2 a in the receivingrecess 10. The diameter of thecylindrical segment 22 can be relatively small compared to the segments adjacent to it toward the tip and that have the screw surfaces 16 necessary for the axial bracing. Accordingly, thearea 23 of the receivingrecess 10 that interacts with thecylindrical segment 22 can also have a small inside diameter. That in turn means agreater wall thickness 24 in thearea 23 and thus increased stability. Especially in thearea 23 have a greater effect on account of the lever effect. However, thegreater wall thickness 24 in this area guarantees increased stability of thedrill shaft 1. - To further explain, the torque forces act on the cutting
insert 2 a during a drilling procedure. Due to the lever effect, a large portion of the torque forces are exerted at the transition between thebearing surface 6 and the firstlongitudinal segment 15. Therefore, it is advantageous for the fixingstud 9 to have an increased thickness at that particular area. Further, since the majority of the torque forces are concentrated on that particular area, it is possible for the fixingstud 9 to decrease in thickness in the area of thecylindrical segment 22. In addition, by decreasing the thickness of the fixingstud 9, it is thereby possible to have an increased thickness of theshaft 1 in thearea 23. As torque forces are exerted on the cuttinginsert 2 a, force is also exerted on the portions of theshaft 1 about therecess 10. Also due to the lever effect, the majority of the force is exerted on thearea 23 near the bottom of therecess 10. By decreasing the thickness of the fixingstud 9 at thearea 23, thewall thickness 24 can be consequently increased to compensate for the greater torque forces exerted in thatparticular area 23. The lever effect therefore can be accounted for by increasing thickness of theshaft 1 and the fixingstud 9 at the areas where the concentration of force is the greatest. - The screw surfaces16 on the fixing
stud 9 of acutting insert 2 can basically form an angle of 90° with the centerlongitudinal axis 8 of the drill or of the cutting insert. However, preference is given to screwsurfaces 16 that are oriented at an angle and form an angle α with the centerlongitudinal axis 8 which is <90° and ≧45°. - FIGS.8 to 12 show a drill bit with two chip flutes and accordingly a two-edged
cutting insert 2 b. The configuration of the fixingstud 9 and of the receivingrecess 10 of this drill bit is the same as that of the drill bit described above. One difference is that two rotation stops 25 project from theface 7 a of thedrill shaft 1. The rotation stops 25 are diametrically opposite each other and are realized with four surfaces in an essentially wedge shape. Theiroutside surface 26 is formed by the peripheral surface of thedrill shaft 1. Theirinside surface 27 interacts with a complementary configuredopposite surface 28, which is part of the wall of arecess 29 in thebearing surface 6 of the cuttinginsert 2 b, whichrecess 29 holds therotation stop 25. The rotation stops also have two inclined surfaces, whereby the oneinclined surface 30 points in the direction ofrotation 18 of the drill bit and merge into aface 7 a. The otherinclined surface 31 points opposite to the direction ofrotation 18 of the drill bit and is a partial surface of theface 32 that forms thechip flute 3. Theinclined surface 30 interacts with aninclined surface 33 that is formed from the wall of therecess 29 and acts as an opposite bearing surface. - FIG. 13 is a view of the drill shown in FIG. 8 with additional features according to at least one possible embodiment of the present invention. The drill bit has a
drill shank portion 101 that is inserted into atool chuck 102. Thetool chuck 102 holds the drill bit and provides a driving force to rotate the drill during a drilling process. The drill shown has a two-edged cutting insert design, but is not the only possible embodiment. This drill bit and chuck configuration may also be used with cutting inserts and bits with more than two edges, such as a cutting insert with three edges, as shown in FIGS. 1-3. - One feature (or aspect) of an embodiment of the invention resides broadly in a drill bit with a drill bit shaft (1) and a cutting insert that forms the tip area of the drill bit and is detachable fixed to the drill bit shaft, and at least one chip flute (3) that is located in the drill bit shaft (1) and extends into the cutting insert (2), whereby the cutting insert is in contact with a bearing surface (6) on the face (7) of the frill shaft (1) and extends with a fixing stud (9) that projects centrally from the bearing surface (6) into a receiving recess (10) which is configured complementary thereto in the face (7) of the drill shaft (1), characterized by the fact that at least one peripheral segment (13) of the fixing stud (9) has a first longitudinal segment (15) which with a screw surface (16) that points away from the drill shaft (1), slopes upward in the direction of rotation (18) of the drill bit toward the drill bit tip (5) and interacts with an opposite surface (19) on the inner wall (14) of the receiving recess (10), merges into a second longitudinal section (17).
- Another feature (or aspect) of an embodiment of the invention resides broadly in a drill bit, characterized by the fact that the second longitudinal segment (17) tapers toward its free end.

- Still another feature (or aspect) of an embodiment of the invention resides broadly in a drill bit characterized by a rotation stop (25) that projects from the face (7) of the drill shaft (1) and projects into an essentially complementary shaped recess in the bearing surface (6) of the cutting insert (2).
- A further feature (or aspect) of an embodiment of the invention resides broadly in a drill bit, characterized by the fact that the screw surface (16) forms an angle (α) of 90° to 45° with the longitudinal axis (8) of the drill bit.
- Another feature (or aspect) of an embodiment of the invention resides broadly in a drill bit, characterized by an angle (α) of 60°.
