  • Patent number: 10576555
    Abstract: This cutting insert is provided with a lower surface of polygonal shape including side parts and a pair of corner parts, an upper surface, a lateral surface situated between the lower surface and the upper surface, a pair of corner cutting edges located at the pair of corners, and a main cutting edge located in a side portion. The main cutting edge is upwardly convex in shape, and in side view includes an upwardly convex curving portion, and a pair of linear portions respectively extending toward the pair of corner cutting edges from the curving portion. The top portion of the curving portion is positioned more toward the one of the corner cutting edges which, of the pair of corner cutting edges, is that contiguous to a working surface of a work material during cutting of the work material.

  • Patent number: 10507536
    Abstract: In a cutting insert of an embodiment of the present invention, an upper surface includes a first corner, and a second corner and a third corner respectively adjacent to both sides of the first corner. The upper surface sequentially includes a rake surface located along an upper cutting edge and inclined toward a lower surface as going inward from the upper cutting edge at a rake angle on a basis of a perpendicular plane perpendicular to a central axis extending between the upper and lower surfaces, and a connection surface located more inward than the rake surface and inclined toward the lower surface as going inward at a connection angle on the basis of the perpendicular plane. An intersecting part of the rake surface and the connection surface includes a highest position in a portion of the intersecting part corresponding to the minor rake surface. A cutting tool with the cutting insert, and a method of producing a machined product by using the cutting tool are also provided.
