Re: what is up with the tutorials? half of which are dead end links to youtube that are done by people that don't know what they're doing? trying to create a drill bit and it's is impossible by normal standards....
Sorry for the delay to the responses.... I just got back to this and had to reset my password and after looking over the responses I realized I may have been a bit vague in my posting. I had done some searching through solidworks on how to create a model of a twist drill specifically (5-44 UNF) but whatever I was able to find referenced links that were either old and no longer valid or they went to youtube that were all over the place in terms of either totally useless and undescriptive (no audio) or when somewhat descriptive was totally inaccurate - missing all kinds of detail... I mean, drawing a helix and sticking a circular sketch and cutting along the helix is one thing but that is NOT enough to show how a real drill bit with correct geometry is made to a vendor that has to be detailed on an engineering drawing. The length of the flutes are special, there's a lip angle we want to detail, and the flutes aren't just round - there is an edge that is what defines the cutting edge... as I said this is a real drill that has to be machined and ground to specifications not just a generic visual that 'looks' like a drill... this is the problem when trying to find stuff that is complete there are all kinds of flashy models that are useless and the ones that might be useful are done in some other program... I can generate something that 'looks' like a drill but that is not good enough - Mainly, I'm having trouble breaking things down into it's simplest parts and recreating the actual geometry (not just faking it), defining planes, and sketches for the cuts on the lip angle and point angle and having better control of the flute sketch as well plus the exit geometry is also kind of a pain though visually I think I'd be able to manage that as it's not as important. Anyway, I've checked out what's been posted and will be looking over those models to see if I can use any of them. I appreciate the replies..... it's just been a bit frustrating..... thanks for the responses...

Paul, I think we can all relate to looking for something and finding "it" only for "it" to turn out to not have some important detail or feature. I always caution folks in downloading stuff from McMaster-Carr or 3DContentCentral or from wherever that it is up to them to make sure it serves their purpose.
Since you are looking for the actual detail to manufacture a drill bit, rather than just for the model to look good, then I think your best bet is to get a model from a drill bit manufacturer (if you can find one that will share their model) or to get the information that defines the geometry and model it yourself. Often the information is harder to get than performing the actual modeling. If you have the information for the drill bit geometry, but are having trouble with the model then put it out here and you'll very likely get some excellent help.

Would the information needed for this be likely to be found in the Machinery's Handbook? I see a lot of information on twist drills in the tooling section.

I have never heard of that drill specification.
Can you post a reference?
Sounds more like a thread specification.

We are a medical device company (orthopedics), the thread is for a Ø.125 = #5-44 UNF-2A which is a legitimate thread.... not common but used in orthopedics to support as the drill tip continues to cut into bone. One thing I have discovered was there apparently was a model for this (already done - in Solidworks) so my work is done short of dimensioning the length of the threaded portion. So the task at hand has been completed.
Other than that, I don't know what the reference to the Autocad 2007 tutorial 10 would do for me as I don't have Autocad 2007 or Inventor? However, the geometric setup seems reasonable. I'll hang onto this if ever have to do a twist drill again....thanks for the pdf.

Why is this showing that I started this discussion? Paul Charbonneau started it....not me!
Hrmm, something is wonky

Maybe he somehow deleted his original post? My response to it is also missing. Maybe Richard Doyle can explain it.

hahaha - Dan Pihlaja - When I saw you're the author, I was like scratching my head, why is Dan posting this question, he surely knows exactly what he's doing... But that is a good option, now once I figure it out I can put together a question and have somebody else's name showing as the Author ....
Can you imagine getting a noobee question together, all in caps and having Rick Becker as the author of the question - now that would be sweeeeet, I bet he would reply with his Cheat'm How.... company to his own post, now that would be hilarious.......

Even better that that, I would send myself the 1st class airfare to where I am, rend a limo (with full bar service) to take me to where I am, and I would teach myself something new before I retire to my 4-star hotel room.
I will also give myself a Great review and recommendation...

Looks like you branched out while giving reply to the post. I'm not able to recall how once can do this (branch out) but this is it.

lol - but you could mark it as helpful, which is worth a few points, you figure out how to refresh that every 2 minutes you be by passing Deepak by May 1st 2017.........

You are on to my plan John.
I didn't know about the refresh... I could write a Windows script that refreshes every 2 seconds and run it 24/7.
BWAHAAAAAAAAAA

Usually owner of the post (the person who started it) is allowed to branch out but Dan has magical powers.

You must need to be in the right club. I only have the option to "Report Abuse " on other people's comments or " Delete or Edit" my own messages. Unless I'm not looking in the right location.

Jim, you can only branch out of the posts which you've started. You can branch your own reply or someone's reply on that post.

I wasn't sure what I was doing.... I was trying to reply and it wasn't obvious at least the first time I tried it. this time I noticed the add reply button. Sorry if what I posted looked confusing....
