  • Publication number: 20220355392
    Abstract: A drill (1) is provided with a body (10) and a head (30). The body (10) is formed of cemented carbide, and the head (30) is formed of PCD. Spiral coolant passages (17, 18) are provided inside the body (10). Oil holes (25, 26) are provided in a body-side joint surface of the body (10). The oil holes (25, 26) are outlets of the coolant passages (17, 18). Coolant passages (37, 38) provided inside the head (30) extend from oil holes (45, 46) provided at a tip (31) toward a rear end (32). A head-side joint surface of the head (30) is joined to the body-side joint surface. Two oil holes are provided in the head-side joint surface. The two oil holes are inlets of the coolant passages (37, 38), and communicate with the oil holes (25, 26) in the body-side joint surface.

  • Patent number: 11453072
    Abstract: The end cutting edges formed on the front end face of the tool body includes a first end cutting edge that is connected to the front end of the thread cutting edge, and a second end cutting edge that is connected to the first end cutting edge on the side closer to the axis, and is angled more toward the rear end than the first end cutting edge. The angle formed by an imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis and the first end cutting edge is set to 6° or less. The angle formed by the second end cutting edges and the imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis and is set to be greater than the angle formed by the first end cutting edges and the imaginary plane perpendicular to the axis.

  • Publication number: 20220250176
    Abstract: A rotary cutting tool includes: a blade portion; a shank portion having a diameter larger than a diameter of the blade portion; and a tapered connecting portion connecting the blade portion and the shank portion. The shank portion includes a plurality of coolant-guide recessed grooves provided in its outer circumferential surface. Each of the coolant-guide recessed grooves has a groove depth and a groove width that is larger than the groove depth. Each of the coolant-guide recessed grooves has a groove bottom that is shaped such that the groove depth is reduced as the each of the coolant-guide recessed grooves extends from its start end toward a groove-depth regional-change position in which a tendency of change of the groove depth is changed.

  • Patent number: 11123811
    Abstract: Multiple grooves are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the body of an insert holder. A first holding surface of an insert first holding part, which is inserted between a groove bottom and a first protrusion, and a first protrusion surface of the first protrusion make surface contact and said surfaces are sloped so as to approach the groove bottom as the first end is approached. A second holding surface of an insert second holding part, which is inserted between the groove bottom and a second protrusion, and a second protrusion surface of the second protrusion make surface contact and said surface are sloped so as to approach the groove bottom as the second end is approached.

  • Patent number: 10442021
    Abstract: An insert portion (3) of a reamer (1) is fixed, using screws (8), to a leading end portion of a body (2A). The insert portion (3) is configured by overlaying an insert (4) for finish machining and an insert (5) for rough machining, and forms a right hand cut right hand helix. On respective mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), convex portions and concave portions of the mating face of the insert (4) overlap with concave portions and convex portions of the mating face of the insert (5). The reamer (1) can enlarge a hole formed in a workpiece or change a shape of the hole. The inserts (4, 5) simultaneously cut an inner peripheral face of the hole, and can thus perform rough machining and finish machining in one pass. By overlapping the convex portions and the concave portions of each of the mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), they partially overlap in their respective thickness directions. A protrusion length of the insert portion (3) can thus be shortened.

  • Patent number: 10384276
    Abstract: An insert portion (3) of a thread mill (1A) is fixed to a leading end portion of a body (2A) using screws (8). The insert portion (3) is configured by overlaying an insert (4) for finish machining and an insert (5) for rough machining. On respective mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), convex portions and concave portions of the mating face of the insert (4) are overlaid with concave portions and convex portions of the mating face of the insert (5). The thread mill (1A) can cut a female screw in a hole formed in a workpiece by performing right-hand cut down-cut milling, for example. The inserts (4, 5) simultaneously cut an inner peripheral surface of the hole, and the rough machining and the finish machining can thus be performed in a single pass. By the convex portions and the concave portions of the respective mating faces of the inserts (4, 5) being overlaid with each other, the inserts (4, 5) partially overlap in their respective thickness directions.

  • Patent number: 10328503
    Abstract: A T-slot cutter (1) is a tool for cutting a T-groove in a workpiece, and includes a body (2A) and an insert portion (3). The insert portion (3) is fixed to a leading end portion of the body (2A) using screws (8). The insert portion (3) is configured by overlaying inserts (4) and (5). By changing a combination of the inserts configuring the insert portion (3), a groove width and an angular shape of the T-groove cut in the workpiece can be easily adjusted. On mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), convex portions and concave portions of the mating face of the insert (4) overlap with concave portions and convex portions of the mating face of the insert (5). As a result, the inserts (4, 5) partially overlap with each other in a thickness direction, and thus a protrusion length of the insert portion (3) can be shortened.
