  • Patent number: 8827600
    Abstract: Provided is a long life carbide end mill which can perform stable cutting in high-efficiency machining such as die machining and parts machining. A cutting method using such an end mill is also provided. When a certain wavy or nicked peripheral cutting edge is considered a reference peripheral cutting edge with reference phases in a pitch of the reference peripheral cutting edge, wherein the distance of each reference phase is an amount corresponding to a value obtained by dividing the pitch of the nicks or waveform of each peripheral cutting edge by the number of the cutting edges; and the phase of at least one of the remaining peripheral cutting edges is deviated in the direction of the tool axis from the corresponding reference phase by an amount corresponding to 5% or less (excluding 0%) of the pitch.

  • Patent number: 4534535
    Abstract: A fixed base is formed at its upper surface with a recess portion, and a bottom surface of said recess portion is normally formed into a plane. A movable plate is disposed in the recess portion of said fixed base with a moving region left therein. Spacers are projectingly embedded in the lower surface of said movable plate, and a gap is formed between the bottom surface of the recess portion of the fixed base and the lower surface of the movable plate, said gap being filled with a viscous material. A pipe is disposed on the movable plate through a support base. The vibration of the pipe is transmitted to the movable plate to produce a relative motion between two surfaces, one being the lower surface of the movable plate and the other being the bottom surface of the recess portion of the fixed base. The viscous shearing resistance of the viscous material resulting from said motion displays an excellent vibration-absorbing action.
