Patent number: 8858126Abstract: A cutting tool includes a body having a forward end and a rearward end. The forward end includes an insert-receiving pocket with a threaded hole having a center axis. The cutting tool further includes a cutting insert with a countersunk bore with a center axis. The cutting tool includes an error proofing feature for preventing the cutting insert to be properly mounted in an insert-receiving pocket when an offset distance between the center axis of the threaded hole of the insert-receiving pocket and the center axis of the countersunk bore of the cutting insert is greater than a predetermined percentage of the outer diameter of the threaded screw.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2009Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Michael Glenn Morrison, Srikanth Bontha, Juan Seculi, Thomas Jerry Long, II, Jeremy Joseph Verellen, Ravishankar Iyer

Patent number: 8827610Abstract: A hydraulic coupling system includes an adapter, a shell mill, a threaded member, and a chucking membrane. The adapter includes a tapered pilot disposed on and extending from an end face. The shell mill includes a central counter bore for enabling the pilot of the adapter to be inserted therein. The threaded member includes at least one sealing member and is capable of being threaded into a threaded bore of the shell mill. The chucking membrane includes an intermediate portion disposed between two flanges and forms a fluid-tight channel for hydraulic fluid. The chucking member has a tapered inside surface. When the threaded member is threaded into the shell mill, the tapered surfaces of the pilot and the chucking membrane cause an axial force to seat the end face of the shell mill firmly against the end face of the adapter.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2011Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Brad Daniel Hoffer, Kevin Michael Gamble, Thomas Jerry Long, II
