The amount of sideward projection of the leading corner from the surface of the corresponding tip support is set larger by a given amount than that of the trailing corner.

Abstract: A metal bonded drilling and boring tool which can prevent the separation of abrasive grains during drilling and boring to maintain a stable working performance for a long period of time without the need for tool exchange. The tool includes a rod-shaped body having a substantially semispherical front end portion and numerous abrasive grains bonded to an outer circumferential surface of the rod-shaped body at the front end portion and at a portion having a given length from the front end portion by a bond member formed primarily of copper alloy. The bond member contains a material selected from the group consisting of Ti, Al, and a mixture thereof. The copper alloy is selected from the group consisting of bronze containing 10 to 33 wt % of Sn, brass containing 5 to 20 wt % of Zn, and aluminum bronze containing 5 to 20 wt % of Al.

Abstract: A disk cutter has an annular disk-shaped base which is composed of a first disk and a second disk spot-welded at a plurality of portions to the first disk. Each of the first and second disks has a plurality of holes formed therein. The holes are circumferentially spaced at an equal interval with the holes of the first and second disks being alternately arranged. The base has a peripheral edge with a plurality of tool receiving recesses formed therein. A plurality of hardened cutting tool inserts are fixed to the base at the recesses.

Abstract: A disk-type cutting tool having a plurality of hardened inserts that are received in recesses formed in the periphery of a base disk. Each insert has a shank portion that is received in the recess and which defines a shoulder that is in abutting engagement with one side of the base disk. This provides a mechanical interlock and location for brazing operation, and also increases the amount of surface area for brazing to provide a more rigid assembly.
