The tool is a rotary tool for holemaking in a workpiece which includes one or more holemaking inserts about the outermost end of the tool, at least a pair of axially spaced apart chamfering inserts radially sunken into the intermediate portion of the tool, and one or more grooving inserts also radially sunken into the intermediate portion of the tool between the chamfering inserts, all of which provides for holemaking with chamfered entrance and exit edges and/or a slot, groove, or threads within the hole. An additional O-ring grooving insert may be provided to cut an annular groove around the hole on an end face of the workpiece.
