  • Publication number: 20080298918
    Abstract: A drill body for chip removing machining, including an envelope surface which is concentric with a center axis around which the drill body is rotatable, and transforms into a front end surface, and a front cutting edge adjacent to a chip flute which is countersunk in the envelope surface in the area in front of the cutting edge as viewed in the direction of rotation of the drill body and runs out into the front end surface. In the front part of the chip flute, a depression is formed, which includes two part surfaces extending at an obtuse angle (a) to each other, one of which forms a bottom surface in the depression, and the other of which faces the cutting edge and is in front of the cutting edge as viewed in the direction of rotation to form a stop face for a chip removed by the cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 7455482
    Abstract: An indexable cutting insert has at least first and second cutting edges and first and second edge-location surfaces associated with the first and second cutting edges, respectively. The insert-manufacturing procedure includes forming the first edge-location surface with reference to the first cutting edge, and then forming the second edge-location surface with reference to the second cutting edge. There results an indexable cutting insert having at least two spaced-apart chip-removing cutting edges and a plurality of location surfaces adapted to engage a base body for determining the spatial positions of respective cutting edges, wherein each location surface determines the spatial position of no more than one of the cutting edges.
