Cool model and render. I have just tried curviloft and am finding it very useful.
Have you ever sharpened a drill bit?

Hi Oli,
the process was very simple. I made a flat profil and copied it with "perpendicular faces" along a line. After that i used "Curviloft" and twisted each segment. The transitions at the top and on the shaft I have madewith push / pull and intersect and the eraser. These were the most difficult places.
I will not conceal that this model has an error. Because the model has four cutting edges instead of two. This is hardly seen. Because I played a bit with profiles. The drill came out of random.

Hi again,
That would have been the correct profile. But at the twisting come here on some errors.

Great exercise,thanks!
No rubies used.Technique used: intersection.Although looks nice the hardened crease is on the wrong side(being given the rotation direction).
Cheers!

Good looking model. They do make left handed drills. I have never seen one though.
Could you please expand on how you did yours with out plugins.charly2008:
Drill bits look simple to most people but there are quite amazing considering how many angles, tapers and reliefs there are.

It s not the problem of left handed(that can be fixed with a flip) it s that the hard crease it s not on the attacking edge .
Once u make the main body u have to intersect it with 2 spirals.

I also used 2 cylinders, from the outside one keeping that crease and the lower part.
I had to rebuilt it..now it s almost like the real one.

Yes looks dam close.
