Abstract: In this paper, the spade drill point geometric parameters are analyzed in detail. The cutting lips were modeled in the previous part of this study, and are extended to accounting for the dynamic effects of cutting and feed velocities. The models for calculating main cutting edge torque and thrust force in spade drilling are deduced. The force components.obtained from the models are integrated along the lips. These models can be applied to the spade drills with arbitrary drill point angle. Predicted torque and thrust force for the cutting lips are agreed well with the experimental data from spade drilling tests.

Key words: torque, drill point, geometric parameters, thrust force
