hi im trying to create custom drill bit, 90 degree edge and with tip radius of 0.28mm, 2.4mm in diameter, I was trying to draw it in solidworks then create 3d milling in solidcam to create it according to my model.

the problem is the 3d curvature of the drill bit edge (the relief angle of the edge), I'm trying to use helix and a profile (triangle) to create swept cut to make that 3d angle, but it won't work.

I found this youtube video
SolidWorks tutorial How To Make Drill Bit - YouTube
but it just creates "stupd" revolved cut which isnt what I was looking for as the real drill bit has this 3d curvature, angle which goes both sideways and downards, and that is the problem I cant solve in solidworks.
 
the spiral part is not important ive created it in the first place no problem, the important part is the edge or the tip, where the action will be taking place in 3d milling.

thats what your model doesnt have at all as i see it although the pic is blurry.
