Abstract: A cutting insert for chip removing machining of workpieces, including at least one chip-removal surface that carries away chips, at least one side surface that is a clearance surface, and at least one cutting edge formed between the at least one chip-removal surface and the at least one side surface. The cutting edge includes a main-edge segment that carries out a major part of a chip-removing operation, and a wiping-edge segment that, in the chip-removing operation, wipes off and levels a machined surface of the workpiece. The wiping-edge segment forms a depression.

Abstract: A tool for chip-removing machining includes a holder on which in indexible cutting insert is mounted. The holder includes a first base surface on which a plurality of male parts are disposed to define an insert seat. The insert includes generally parallel second and third base surfaces, each having a plurality of female parts disposed therein. The insert is invertible such that the female parts of one of the second and third base surfaces receive respective male parts of the holder. A fastener secures the insert on the seat, with the male parts tightly fitted in the female parts. The male parts are flexible relative to the first base surface to ensure a firm abutment of the male parts with surfaces of respective female parts.

Abstract: A turning insert includes at least one cutting surface having at least one corner area. The corner area defines a nose angle in the range of 30-85°. The corner area includes a beveled edge. A bisector of the nose angle intersects the beveled edge at a center thereof at a right angle.

Abstract: A cutting tool includes a basic body and a cutting body that is fixable to the basic body via a male/female coupling. The coupling includes male-like fingers and female-like seats, which are delimited between elastically resilient projections. Each finger includes two converging wedge surfaces, which are pressable against a pair of diverging support surfaces of two adjacent projections. The axial angle of convergence of the two wedge surfaces of an individual finger differ from the angle of divergence of the two co-operating support surfaces of the projections, as long as the fingers are not loaded against the projections. In such a way, the removal of the cutting body from the basic body is facilitated.

Abstract: A turning insert includes a chip-breaking surface and first and second clearance surfaces located at a corner of the insert. First and second edges are formed at a junction of the chip-breaking surface and the first and second clearance surfaces, respectively. The first edge defines a major cutting edge, and the second edge defines a finishing cutting edge. The major cutting edge is straight and transforms into the second edge by a sharp transition.

Abstract: A drill includes a tip-forming front end having at least two straight cutting edges and at least two chip flutes extending from the tip end towards a rear end. Each cutting edge includes an inner portion disposed near a center line of the drill, and an outer portion disposed farther from the center line. The peripheral end of each cutting edge is in the form of a smoothly curved nose portion protruding radially with respect to the center line. The nose portion is formed by several circular segments having mutually different radii (R1, R2, R3). Adjacent ones of the radii are of different size.

Abstract: A cutting insert having a front cutting edge and a connecting surface including male- and/or female-like engagement portions, in order to rigidly secure the cutting insert, a geometrically predetermined reference locus serving as a force-application spot for the clamping of the cutting insert. Simultaneously active engagement portions are of only two types—a first, elongate engagement portion, which is located between the front cutting edge and the reference locus, and a second, elongate engagement means, which is oriented at an angle to the first engagement portion and situated at a greater distance from the front cutting edge than the reference locus. In such a way, it is guaranteed that a tightening force always is applied to the cutting insert in a substantially triangular area, which is defined by the free ends of the engagement portions. Furthermore, a tool for chip removing machining, as well as an attachment, e.g., a shim plate, for such tools is provided.

Abstract: A cutting insert, intended for chip removing machining, includes a body delimited by two opposite, first and second surfaces, which in the operative state of the cutting insert form an actively chip removing top surface and a bottom surface, respectively. The insert also includes at least one side surface, serving as a flank surface, which extends between the first and second surfaces. A cutting edge is formed between the flank surface and at least one of said first and second surfaces, in which a segment is included, which has the purpose of smoothening and facing the machined surface of the workpiece. The smoothening edge segment is divided into at least three different part edge segments, a first of which forms a tangent point and is surrounded by two part edge segments having longer radii (R22, R23) than the first edge part segment.

Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining includes an insert holder and a cutting insert attached thereto.

The cutting insert includes a contact surface for mounting the insert to the seat, and a plurality of fingers projecting generally radially with respect to the center axis. Each finger includes a cutting edge and an associated chip surface.

Abstract: The cutting plate in the form of a polyhedron comprises a front surface (1) and a rear surface (2) at an angle to it, cutting edges (3), strengthening facet (4), inclined to the plane of the cutting edges, and a swarf-breaking groove (5). The strengthening facet is in the form of three sectors, the angle of inclination of which to be the plane of the cutting edges is determined from specified expressions. The third sector of the strengthening facet is wider than the first two sectors.

Abstract: A cutting insert, intended for chip removing machining includes a cutting geometry surface having a cutting edge from which extends a primary chamfer that transforms into a chip removing surface. The chip removing surface is inclined in a inwards/downwards direction in order to permit sinking of a chip being formed, and transforms into a deflection surface arranged to initiate deflection of the chip from the cutting insert. The angle of inclination of the chip removing surface does not exceed 18°. The level difference in elevation between the primary chamfer and the chip deflection surface amounts to maximally 0.20 mm.
