Abstract
A tool head includes an ovoid basic element disposed about a center axis, at least two chip grooves formed in the basic element, and a number of major cutting edges. Each major cutting edge is disposed in a convex course along a respective chip groove of the at least two chip grooves. The major cutting edges define with their radially outermost region a nominal diameter. A radial distance from each major cutting edge to the center axis in a front, tip-side, arc portion increases up to the nominal diameter and in a rear, shank-side, arc portion decreases back down to a minimum diameter.
