Abstract
Abstract A drill for electronic conductor plates with a cylindrical drill head which is arranged at the front end of a shank, and which in particular has a working diameter of from 0.5 to 1.2 mm. The rear end of the cylindrical drill head is in the direction toward the drill shank followed by a first shank section of a shorter outer diameter. The drill head and the next following first shank section comprise guiding passages for the drilled out material, especially continuous helical grooves in the manner customary with spiral drills. The drill is characterized primarily in that the first shank section adjacent the drill head conically tapers from the rear end of the drill head in the direction toward the rear end of the drill shank.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
144 words
An axially extending drill for printed circuit boards, which includes a holding shank on one end, a cylindrical drill head at the opposite end, and a first conical shank section connected to said drill head and conically tapering uniformly toward the drill axis from the diameter of said cylindrical drill head over a length substantially greater than the length of said cylindrical drill head of a smaller diameter of said conical shank section, and a second conical shank outwardly flaring from said drill axis and joining said conical section and the larger diameter holding shank, said cylindrical drill head and said conical shank section having helical flutes which extend continuously along the said cylindrical drill head and said conical shank section and are spaced by smooth surfaces having the diameter of said drill at any point and provided with cutting edges on their ends.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
47 words
A drill as claimed in claim 1, said drill having rearward beveled surface adjacent the cutting edges extending from the forward edges of said flutes in the direction of rotation and located in the enveloping surface of rotation of said cylindrical drill head and conical shank section.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
A drill according to claim 1, in which said first conical shank section tapers along a cone angle of about 1°.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A drill according to claim 1, in which said first conical shank section tapers down over a length at least three times the length of said cylindrical drill head.
