Publication number: 20110027025Abstract: Efficient plunge cutting work in which the tool body moves forward and backward in the axial direction to cut the wall face of a workpiece at high feed-speed, is possible even in the cutting process with backward motions. The tool body 1 has a cylindrical shape with an axis O as its center axis, and provides the insert pocket 3 in the outer periphery close to the tip. The cutting insert 10 is detachably attached in the insert pocket 3. Then, by rotating the tool body 1 and by feeding it along the axis O, the cutting insert 10 cuts the wall face of a workpiece. Furthermore, the insert pocket includes a bottom face which faces the tool rotational direction and, wall faces 3B, 3C and 3D which extend from the bottom face toward the tool rotational direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2009Publication date: February 3, 2011Applicant: MITSUBISHI MATERIALS CORPORATIONInventors: Nobukazu Horiike, Takayoshi Saito
