          What is a drill?

          What is a drill?
          A drill is a tool, usually cylindrical in shape, used to drill holes in various materials.

          These materials include metal, wood, plastic, concrete and others. The body of each drill is usually formed by a right-handed flute in our picture no. 6, which is terminated by a cutting edge and a lip (20., 19.). At the other end of the drill there is a shank that can be fixed in the drill chuck.

          There is a huge number of types of drills on the market, which we have categorized for you in an article specifically dedicated to this issue. However, it can be said that drills are divided according to the type of material being machined, shape, type of clamping and the material from which the drill is made.

          The following picture shows the technical terminology of the drill:

          2. Shank - straight, cylindrical

          13. Secondary lip
          14. Relief
          15. Relief depth
          16. Heel
          17. Flank

          26. Relief diameter
          27. Back taper ratio
          28. Lead of helix
          29. Angle of twist (λ)
          30. Cross cutting edge angle (ψ)
          31. Nose angle (ε)
          32. Lip angle (α)

          The most common drills include, without a doubt, the helical (cylindrical) drill, the best-selling in our country, the "black" drill of the 221121 standard or the higher-quality ground version of the norm PN2913.
