  • Publication number: 20230398611
    Abstract: A drill body is provided which enables a cutting edge member to be readily correctly mounted to a leading end part of the drill body and which can suitably supply a cutting region with a cutting fluid. The drill body includes: a body part which extends in a rod shape from a base end part toward a leading end part; a fluid hole for causing a fluid to flow inside the body part from a side of the base end part toward a side of the leading end part; and a mounting part which is provided in the leading end part and which is for mounting a removable cutting edge member, wherein the mounting part has a recessed part which is provided along a central axis of the body part from an end surface of the leading end part, and the fluid hole is provided by being bent in a side part of the recessed part so that a discharge port of the fluid hole in the leading end part opposes a cutting edge of the cutting edge member when the cutting edge member is mounted to the mounting part as prescribed.

  • Publication number: 20230347424
    Abstract: Provided are a guide pad having sufficient strength and a gun drill having the guide pad. A guide pad includes: a first surface; a second surface that is a flat surface located at a position opposed to the first surface; and a third surface that connects the first surface and the second surface to each other. When viewed along a rotational center axis, the first surface is a circular-arc-shaped surface, and when a point at which a virtual line passing through a circular-arc center of the first surface and perpendicular to the second surface and the second surface cross each other is assumed as a first point and a point at which a central axis of the through hole and the second surface cross each other is assumed as a second point, the first point is located at a position closer to the third surface than the second point.

  • Publication number: 20230347423
    Abstract: Provided is a body capable of suppressing the bending of the body during machining. A body includes: a first mounting part serving as a portion that is provided on a leading end side and has a cutting edge mounted thereon; and a second attachment part serving as a portion that is provided at a position different from a position of the first mounting part along a circumferential direction and has a guide pad attached thereto on the leading end side. One discharging groove that extends from the leading end side to a base end side and is used to guide and discharge a fluid to the base end side is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the body, and at least a part of the discharging groove is bent.

  • 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.

  • Patent number: 11628505
    Abstract: A drilling tool is provided, which is configured to prevent an insufficient chip discharge ability thereof. The drilling tool includes a cutting insert having a cutting edge at a leading end portion, and a body to which the cutting insert is mounted. The drilling tool also includes a recessed part provided on an outer peripheral surface of the body and extending to a leading end of the body, and an oil supply port provided on a base end side of the recessed part and supplying cutting oil, passing through the inside of the body, to an outer peripheral side of the body. In a case where the drilling tool further includes a guide pad that comes into abutment with an inner wall surface of a hole cut by the cutting insert, and a fastening screw for fixing the guide pad to the body, the oil supply port may be provided at a position further toward the base end side of the body than a position of the fastening screw.

  • Publication number: 20220288706
    Abstract: Provided are a tool body of a cutting tool for indexable inserts and a round milling insert that are configured not to cause floating or rattling when the round milling insert is mounted, by keeping the contact part between the round milling insert and the tool body at a predetermined part. The tool body includes a recessed portion provided so that only one of a plurality of protrusions is fitted thereto, the plurality of protrusions being formed in the round milling insert so as to protrude in the radial direction, wherein the recessed portion has both inner surfaces thereof formed of curved surfaces in such a manner that the distance therebetween gradually decreases toward a depth portion, at the contact area between the recessed portion and said protrusion fitted thereto out of the plurality of protrusions.
