PDF — Type 240-PT TiN Parabolic Heavy Duty Jobber Length
The name comes from the flat parabolic shape of the flute. You can see from the diagram
what all has been done to get the twist drill out of the way of the chips as much as possible.
This allows higher feedrates even for relatively short parabolics and I have heard from some
machinists who use parabolics exclusively for that reason. Fair to say that parabolic drills
are more premium products, so most manufacturer’s are taking more care with them in general.
They’re just higher quality cutters.
