  • Patent number: 11745270
    Abstract: An elongated tool holder includes a mass housing portion having a housing peripheral surface, an outer sleeve having a sleeve hole wall surface, and an anti-vibration arrangement. An elongated groove is formed in one of the housing peripheral surface and the sleeve hole wall surface. In an assembled state of the tool holder, the groove, which is located at a common interface of the housing peripheral surface and the sleeve hole wall surface, forms a groove coolant channel. The groove coolant channel forms part of an overall tool holder coolant channel which is spaced apart from the anti-vibration arrangement, and thus isolates the coolant from the anti-vibration arrangement. A cutting tool incorporates the tool holder.

  • Patent number: 11660679
    Abstract: A tool body to which a replaceable cutting insert is fixed includes: a holder: an insert mounting seat that is provided on a first surface of the holder; a clamp member that constrains the cutting insert placed on the insert mounting seat; and an operating member that presses a pressure receiving surface of the clamp member. The clamp member has the pressure receiving surface, a spherical head portion that is formed into a spherical crown shape, and a hook portion that protrudes to a side opposite to a side of the spherical head portion when seen from a side of the first surface. The insert mounting seat supports the clamp member to be swingable with the spherical head portion as a fulcrum, and the hook portion contacts a diameter reducing portion that is formed on an inner peripheral surface of an mounting hole for the cutting insert in a state in which the pressure receiving surface is pressed.

  • Patent number: 11638961
    Abstract: A cutting tool body for indexable inserts, and a round milling insert, are configured not to cause floating or rattling upon mounting the milling insert. The tool body includes a recessed portion for fitting one of a plurality of protrusions thereto, the protrusions being formed in the milling insert to protrude in the radial direction. The recessed portion has two inner surfaces having curved portions disposed so the distance between them gradually decreases at the contact area between the recessed portion and the protrusion fitted thereto. The milling insert includes protrusions protruding radially, any of which fit into a recessed portion on a mounting seat of the tool body. The protrusions each have two curved outer surfaces arranged so the distance between them gradually decreases toward a tip of the protrusion, at the contact area between the protrusion and the recessed portion into which the protrusion is fitted.
