Research on a Helical Drill Point Grinding Machine

Abstract

It is necessary to develop drill point grinders in order to improve drilling quality and efficiency. In this paper, a new type of helical drill point grinder is presented. This grinder is mechanically simple, low cost and easy to be used. There are three axis simultaneous motions by means of two cams during helical drill point grinding process. Moreover, the relationships between the helical drill point parameters and helical grinding parameters are derived. As a result, the flank surfaces of helical drill points are described.
