Abstract
A drilling tool includes a tool body having a center axis defining a longitudinal direction of the drilling tool. The tool body has an axially forward end and an axially rearward end, the distance in the longitudinal direction between the forward end and the rearward end defining a length of the drilling tool. At least two indexable cutting inserts are arranged at the axially forward end, a first indexable cutting insert being arranged at a radially inner position and a second indexable cutting insert being arranged at a radially outer position. The tool body includes a first flute portion extending axially rearward from the first indexable cutting insert and a second flute portion extending axially rearward from the second indexable cutting insert. The first flute portion transitions into the second flute portion at an axially forward transition area of the tool body, thereby forming only one flute of the tool.
