Abstract: A rotary cutting tool is provided that includes a cutter body, and a plurality of cartridges, fasteners, and cartridge axial adjustment mechanisms. The cutter body has a rotational axis, a circumferential exterior surface, and a plurality of cartridge pockets disposed in the circumferential exterior surface. A cartridge fastener threaded aperture is disposed in each cartridge pocket. The cartridge fastener threaded apertures extend along an axis disposed at an acute angle. Each cartridge has a body having at least one cartridge fastener aperture disposed at the acute angle. Each cartridge axial adjustment mechanism is aligned with a cartridge. Each fastener holds a cartridge against a cartridge pocket, and biases the cartridge against the aligned cartridge axial adjustment mechanism.

Abstract: A rotary cutting tool is provided that includes a shank and a body. The body extends axially outwardly from the shank, and has a plurality of first teeth and a plurality of second teeth. The first and second teeth are alternately arranged and spaced apart from one another around a circumference. Each first tooth includes a primary cutting edge disposed at a primary angle relative to the rotational axis and a tertiary cutting edge disposed at a tertiary angle relative to the rotational axis. Each second tooth includes a secondary cutting edge disposed at a secondary angle relative to the rotational axis. The secondary cutting edge is disposed axially between the primary cutting edge and the tertiary cutting edge.

Abstract: A rotary tool comprises a cylindrical sleeve including an opening formed in an outer circumferential surface thereof providing fluid communication between a hollow interior of the sleeve and an environment surrounding the sleeve. The sleeve includes an axially extending flow passage formed therein terminating in a first fluid outlet formed in an open end of the sleeve disposed adjacent a cutting element of the rotary tool. The fluid outlet is configured to deliver a flow of a fluid toward the workpiece to cause chips formed during the machining operation to be directed away from the workpiece and out of the hollow interior of the sleeve through the opening formed in the outer circumferential surface thereof.

Abstract: A lubricant distribution device configured to be coupled to a rotating cutting tool having a plurality of circumferentially spaced cutting surfaces comprises a main body having a manifold conduit extending along a central rotational axis of the main body and a plurality of lubricant distributing conduits formed in the main body and extending radially outwardly from the manifold conduit. Each of the lubricant distributing conduits is configured to convey a lubricant therethrough and includes an inlet fluidly coupling each of the lubricant distributing conduits to the manifold conduit and an outlet disposed adjacent a corresponding one of the circumferentially spaced cutting surfaces of the cutting tool.

Abstract: A cutting tool including an annular cutter body having at least one V-shaped pocket formed therein and a cutting tool cartridge configured to be received in the at least one pocket of the cutter body. The cutting tool cartridge including a main body. The main body includes a cutting head having a cutting chip control portion and a pocket configured to receive a cutting insert.
