Abstract
Abstract A combination tool is disclosed for drilling a hole in a workpiece on the inward feed of the tool and for threading the hole during retraction of the tool. The tool comprises a straight body with a drill point at the forward end, a shank at the rearward end and a thread-form mill between the drill point and the shank.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
For use in a machine tool which is adapted to rotate a cutting tool about its axis and feed the cutting tool axially for cutting a hole in a workpiece and adapted to simultaneously rotate said cutting tool about its axis, move the axis in an orbital path and move the cutting tool axially whereby a point on the cutting tool defines a helical path, a hole making and threading tool comprising: an elongated straight body having a shank at one end, a hole making means at the other end and a thread making means intermediate said ends, and at least one chip removal passage extending from said hole making means through said thread making means, said thread making means having a uniform maximum diameter equal to the maximum diameter of said hole making means whereby said thread making means can enter the hole made by the hole making means without interference.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said thread making means is a thread-form mill.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
24 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said hole making means is a drill and said thread making means is a thread-form mill.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said hole making means comprises a drill point, and said thread making means comprises a thread-form mill having a plurality of thread-form cutters.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The invention as defined in claim 1 wherein said thread making means is a thread-form mill for making female threads having a minimum diameter no smaller than the diameter of said hole.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
157 words
For use in a machine tool which is adapted to rotate a cutting tool about its axis and feed the cutting tool axially for cutting a hole in a workpiece and adapted to simultaneously rotate said cutting tool about its axis, move the axis in an orbital path and move the cutting tool axially whereby a point on said cutting tool defines a helical path, a hole cutting and threading tool comprising: an elongated body having a shank at one end adapted to be held by said machine tool, a hole cutter at the other end, and an axially extending thread-form mill intermediate said shank and said hole cutter, and at least one chip removal passage extending from said hole cutter through said thread-form mill, said thread-form mill having a uniform maximum diameter equal to the maximum diameter of said hole cutter whereby said thread-form mill can enter a hole made by said hole cutter without interference.
