Chip suction drill

A chip suction drill (10) performs a hole making process to a material to be ground (42) such as a casting using a cutting blade (24). A chip generated is suctioned in a chip suction path (18) from a chip intaking hole (30) formed in a cutting blade groove (22) and ejected to a shank (16) side. In this case, since an air introduction groove (32) is provided in the outer periphery surface of a blade (12), air is excellently introduced into the leading end of a tool at which the chip is generated by the cutting blade (24) and the air introduced into the leading end of the tool upon the suction of air by the chip suction path (18) is excellently suctioned in the chip intaking hole (30) together with the chip. Particularly, since only one chip suction path (18) is provided in the tool, its cross section area can be sufficiently secured and the chip intaking hole (30) can be enlarged along with the enlargement of the chip suction path (18). Thus, the generation of chip packing can be suppressed and excellent chip suction performance can be obtained.
