Abstract AISI Type M7 is a molybdenum type of high-speed steel. It is somewhat similar to AISI Type M1 tool steel but with higher percentages of carbon and vanadium to provide an improvement over AISI Type M1 in cutting characteristics without a significant loss in toughness. It is suitable for a wide variety of cutting-tool applications where improved resistance to abrasion is required. The many uses of Type M7 include twist drills, end mills, shear blades, punches, milling cutters, lathe tools, taps and reamers. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: TS-483. Producer or source: Tool steel mills. See also Alloy Digest TS-468, January 1987.

The majority of twist drills used in orthopaedics are very similar to chisel pointed metal drilling bits. Modifications usually observed are reduction of the point angle to 90 deg and sometimes grinding of the entire cutting lip at 0 deg rake angle, which appeared to have been made arbitrarily without any advantage. We have attempted to design a surgical drill bit with the objective of minimization of the drilling thrust and temperature and effective removal of bone chips. Our results showed that the presence of the chisel edge was mainly responsible for increasing the thrust force and the temperature developed. The effects of a constant feed rate and thrust on the peak temperature were also examined. The combined effect of the helix and the point angles on the rake angle which in turn determines the cutting efficiency was analyzed for various types of surgical bits. Based on our results and previously published data from the literature an optimized drill bit was designed with a split point, a point angle of 118 deg, a parabolic flute, and a helix angle of 36 deg and its performance was compared with other existing surgical drill bits. For drilling in compact bone, the new design decreased the thrust load by 45 percent and the peak temperature rise by 41 percent. Simlar improvements were also recorded for drilling bone cement. The time of drilling a bone cortex was also significantly reduced and “walking” on the curved bone surface was eliminated and dimensional tolerance on hole sizes was improved. The new design is likely to reduce the time of surgery and also minimize the tissue damage.

Engineering plastics have wide applications in different fields of industry due to their light weight and easy shaping. In manufacturing multi-component products, assembly is an inevitable stage and drilling is one of the necessary processes before joining of the components of these products. In this study, two of the most common types of engineering plastics, polyacetal (POM) and cast polyamide (castamide), were drilled with twist drills of 0.5 mm and 1 mm diameters, under different cutting speeds and feeds. In determining the accuracy of the drilled small holes, a mathematical approach was used in which least square circle method was applied and radial error of the each drilled hole was obtained. Thus, the hole accuracy could be determined without measuring equipment such as coordinate measurement machine. It has been seen that POM gave better hole accuracy than cast polyamide due its thermal and tribological properties. The effects of feed and cutting speed on the radial error were also investigated. POM did not show apparent difference in radial error according to the cutting parameters while cast polyamide showed lower radial error in higher feeds with 0.5 mm of drill tool and lower radial error with 1 mm of drill tool. Additionally, the radial error could be reduced with decrease of spindle speed at higher feed.
