  • Patent number: 6960049
    Abstract: A cutting tool has an insert shaped as a parallelogram that is detachably mounted by a clamp screw 4 on a tip mounting face of a holder. Concave grooves are formed like parallel stripes on the tip mounting face of the holder, and convex lines are formed on the abdominal face of the insert to be fitted in the concave grooves, so that the insert is clamped by the clamp screw to the holder in a state where the convex lines are fitted in the concave grooves on the tip mounting face.

  • Patent number: 6813980
    Abstract: A cutting tool is disposed on a turret. The cutting tool includes: a holder having a peak end, and a throw-away insert clamped to the peak end of the holder with a clamp screw. The holder has a bottom face and a peak end face defining a corner of the holder. The corner of the holder forms a chamfered face. The throw-away insert has a bottom face and a relief face defining a corner of the throw-away insert. The corner of the throw-away insert forms a chamfered face. The chamfered face of the corner of the holder and the chamfered face of the corner of the throw-away insert prevent the cutting tools adjacent to each other from causing an interference with each other when the cutting tools are at least one of in a standby position and in a machining operation.
