  • Publication number: 20150174664
    Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a cutting insert which can minimize friction with a chip and maximize heat-radiating performance. To this end, the present invention provides a cutting insert comprising: an upper surface; a lower surface; a plurality of lateral surfaces for connecting the upper surface with the lower surface; a main cutting edge formed between the lateral surface and the upper surface; and a main cutting edge land and a main cutting edge incline formed in series between the main cutting edge and the upper surface, wherein the main cutting edge incline has a first wavy shape in which two or more incline convex parts and two or more incline concave parts are repeated from the main cutting edge land toward the upper surface.

  • Publication number: 20150139745
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cutting insert. The cutting insert, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a top surface; a bottom surface; side surfaces which connect the top surface and the bottom surface to each other; a hole which penetrates the top surface and the bottom surface; and cutting edges which are defined by the top surface and the side surfaces, wherein a main cutting edge side surface among the side surfaces is provided with a first relief surface, a transition surface extending from the first relief surface, and a second relief surface extending from the transition surface, the first relief surface is formed such that the relief angle or the relief surface width varies along the cutting edge, and the transition surface is provided with a plurality of ridges in order to reinforce the rigidity of the cutting edge.

  • Patent number: 8876440
    Abstract: A cutting insert, and more particularly, an improved double-sided cutting insert is provided, which provides improved machinability obtained due to increased rake angle, without compromising coupling state. The double-sided cutting insert includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of lateral relief surfaces connecting the top and bottom surfaces, and a cutting edge formed by the top and bottom surfaces and the plurality of lateral relief surfaces, in which one or more lateral relief surfaces of the plurality of lateral relief surfaces are formed into three stages in sequence which are a first positive surface, a negative surface and a second positive surface in a direction from the top surface to the bottom surface.

  • Patent number: 8419320
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cutting tool for milling works which employs a cutting insert. The cutting tool for milling works employs a cutting insert. By forming a concave nick cutting edge on the lateral surface of the cutting insert, it may cut a chip in a short form in case of high depth of cutting to shorten the effective cutting edge, so as to reduce a friction and a cutting resistance, thereby increasing the life span of the cutting tool as well as to facilitate a chip disposal and reduce the cutting resistance, so as to increase a feed rate at a high depth of cutting, thereby enhancing the productivity of the cutting works. By forming concave recesses on the upper and lower surfaces of the cutting insert it may reduce the cutting resistance between the chip being short cut by the concave nick cutting edge and the upper and lower surfaces.
