Abstract: A cutting tool bit has at least one cutting edge formed by an abutment edge between an end face and a side face; a cutting face adjoining the cutting edge and more than two chip breaker steps bounded by step edges and extending approximately parallel to the length dimension of the cutting edge and ascending from the cutting face towards the bit center. The chip breaker steps are arranged in a terraced manner and each step edge has a wavy shape along its length.

Abstract: A cutting tool comprising a cutting bit, a tool holder having a cutting bit receiving recess and a clamping member for clamping the cutting bit in the recess of the tool holder. The flank surface of the cutting bit remote from its cutting edge has two recesses therein, the bottom surfaces of which extend inwardly of the cutting bit at an acute angle with respect to a lower, seating face of the cutting bit. Two toe dogs are provided on the clamping member and engage in the recesses of the cutting bit with flat contact with the bottom surfaces of the recesses to position the cutting bit in the cutting bit receiving recess.

Abstract: In a cutting element for cutting metals and having adjacent surfaces which meet to form a cutting edge, with a chip-controlling groove being formed in one of the surfaces, the groove being composed of a plurality of depressions disposed parallel to one another, spaced apart in the direction of the groove width, and extending along substantially the entire cutting edge, the ability of the groove to effectively deflect chips having a wide range of thicknesses, or cross sections, is improved by forming the groove to have more than two such depressions, with the depressions arranged to form a ridge between each two adjacent depressions, the ridges being located such that, in the direction extending away from the cutting edge, each succeeding ridge is at a higher elevation than the preceding ridges.
