A drill bit for a drill includes at least one flute having a rake face including a flute edge and at least one cutting edge having a profile that extends along at least a portion of a length of the cutting edge, the rake face extending from the cutting edge. A chip breaker formed in the rake face, the chip breaker being a continuous groove located adjacent the cutting edge, the groove having a starting end and an exit end opening into the flute edge, the starting end having a depth that is less than a depth of the exit end of the groove, wherein a shape of the groove at the starting end is different from a shape of the groove at the exit end.

A method for bonding together components, such as a tip and a shaft which include mutually facing carbide end surfaces. The tip includes circumferentially spaced flutes formed in its cylindrical outer periphery. The shaft has a cylindrical outer periphery and a plurality of coolant holes extending through the shaft. Bonding of the tip to the shaft is performed by inserting gauge wires into the coolant holes and associated flutes, and positioning brazing material between the first and second end surfaces. A water-soluble bond-blocking material is applied to the gauge wires for preventing brazing of the gauge wires to the brazing material. The brazing material is heated to braze the first and second end surfaces together while the flutes and their associated coolant holes are maintained in alignment by the gauge wires. Then, the gauge wires are removed, and residual bond-blocking material is dissolved in water.

Method of joining two components to ensure axial and angular alignment therebetween

A sintered cubic boron nitride (cBN) compact for use in a tool is obtained by sintering a mixture of (i) cubic boron nitride, (ii) aluminum oxide, (iii) one or more refractory metal compounds, and (iv) aluminum and/or one or more non-oxide aluminum compounds. The sintered bodies may have sufficient strength and toughness to be used as a tool material in solid, i.e. not carbide supported, form, and may be useful in heavy machining of cast irons.
