The base device is part of a base device system, which includes the base device and a supporting means holding the base device in a fixed position during the additive manufacturing process. The method includes the steps of building the object on at least a part of the base device build surface with the additive manufacturing process, removing the base device from the supporting means, connecting the base device to a CNC machine provided with at least one machining tool, and separating the built object from the base device by means of a machining tool in the CNC machine.

Abstract: A tool body and a tool for cutting machining, wherein the tool body extends in an axial direction and at least a portion of the tool body is formed with a solid outer jacket encasing a core structure. The core structure includes a three-dimensional open lattice structure attached to the outer jacket and made of a lattice structure material. The core structure further includes a filling structure of a solid phase filling material that is different from the lattice structure material, wherein the filling structure surrounds the lattice structure. The lattice structure and the outer jacket are manufactured using additive manufacturing and the filling material is added to the lattice structure in the form of a liquid or a powder, which is thereafter solidified.

The disc milling cutter has internal coolant channels extending radially therein and connected to a coolant source through axial through-holes aligned with axial through-holes of one or more spacer rings, which are also mounted on the shaft, so as to provide for feeding of coolant to the disc milling cutter when placed in different positions along the extension of the shaft.

Abstract: A tool for chip-removing machining including a tool body and at least one cutting insert mounted in an insert seat of the tool body. The cutting insert includes an upper side and a lower side directed toward a bottom contact surface of the insert seat. The cutting insert is formed by sintering together two compacted powder parts, one of the parts forming an upper part and the other forming a lower part. An imaginary plane is defined between the lower and upper parts. A side surface extends between the upper and lower sides around the periphery of the cutting insert, and at least one cutting edge is formed in a transition between the upper side and the side surface. The tool is configured so that the tool body contacts the side surface of the cutting insert only above the imaginary plane along an upper part of the side surface.

Abstract: A milling disc is formed as a generally circular disc having a center axis and including an outer peripheral surface provided with a number of cutting edges, a first side having a bearing surface around the center axis, and attachment means arranged to interact with mating attachment means of a rotatable mounting shaft to allow rotary preventing attachment of the milling disc to the rotatable shaft and forcing of the bearing surface towards a mounting surface at an end surface of the shaft. The milling disc is provided with at least one flushing fluid channel having a confined cross-section and extending within the milling disc from an inlet opening in its bearing surface to at least one outlet opening in its peripheral surface. There is also provided a rotatable mounting shaft for the rotatable attachment of such a milling disc.

Abstract: A double-sided, indexable milling insert has a round basic shape defined by an imaginary cylinder, which is concentric with a center axis and extends between two reference planes that extend perpendicular to the center axis and are equidistantly separated from a neutral plane. The milling insert includes a pair of opposite chip faces located in the reference planes between which an envelope surface concentric with the center axis extends, a plurality of identical and alternately usable cutting edges along the peripheries of the chip faces, and lock means for rotationally securing the milling insert in one of several predetermined index positions. The individual cutting edge has the shape of a wave trough and includes two edge segments that meet at a bottom point.

Abstract: A milling tool is disclosed having a front head and a rear holder, which are detachably connected by means of a male/female coupling as well as a screw and a washer. Via a main duct, cooling liquid is fed to a chamber, from which it is fed out via branch ducts to individual milling inserts. The front chamber is closed by means of a cover that is held applied against a ring surface surrounding the chamber. The cover is tightenable by means of a threaded joint that is operative independently of a threaded joint between the screw and a front section of the main duct.

Abstract: Milling insert and tool for center cutting milling of material. At least one first cutting edge is terminated in or adjacent to a center axis defined by the milling insert and includes a first cutting edge portion having a first radius that is essentially equally great for each point of the first cutting edge portion. The first cutting edge includes at least one second cutting edge portion that is plane or has at least one second radius for each point of the respective second cutting edge portion, the at least one second radius being greater than the first radius and that is situated between the first cutting edge portion and the center axis. One second cutting edge portion adjoins the first cutting edge portion, and one second cutting edge portion is terminated in or adjacent to the center axis.

Abstract: A cutting tool, and a loose top therefore, includes two parts detachably connected to each other via a threaded joint in which co-operating male and female threads are included in the form of helicoidal ridges. The profile shape of each helicoidal ridge is defined by a top and two flanks, which delimit a helicoidal groove having a bottom. The first flank is inclined in relation to a center axis of the tool at a first angle that is smaller than a second angle of the second flank in relation to the center axis. Accordingly, the thread ridge is reinforced in comparison with thread ridges having a symmetrical profile shape, whereby larger tensile forces than compressive forces can be applied to the threaded joint while avoiding damage to the thread ridges.
