Abstract
Cutting elements or cutter chips (7, 8) are located on a tool body (1). Cutting chip removal spaces (14, 15) are formed in the tool body in three segments. A first segment (I) adjoins the end face (4) of the drill body and includes at least one cutting element seat (10, 11); a chip removal space extends axially, i.e. straight, or slightly obliquely fluted. A second segment (II), adjacent thereto, is formed partially helically with a twist (21) of less than 90.degree. relative to the tool body axis; the second segment (II) terminates axially at a point where, in operation, the direction of radially acting cutting forces coincides essentially with the primary axis of inertia (0-0) of the geometrical moment of inertia. A third segment (III) adjoins the second segment (II); it is essentially straight-fluted.
