  • Patent number: 8641334
    Abstract: An insert attached to a tool body of a hole machining tool having an attachment seat and a pressing member for pressing the insert to adjust the position of a peripheral cutting edge in a diameter direction of the tool. The insert has a panel shape. One surface of the insert in a thickness direction provides a seating surface, the other surface in the thickness direction provides a peripheral flank surface. A surface facing the rear side of the insert in a tool rotation direction provides a pressed surface in a state that the insert is attached to the attachment seat. A side surface facing the front side in the tool rotation direction provides an inclined surface, and a peripheral cutting edge is formed at a ridge portion outside of the inclined surface in the diameter direction of the tool.

  • Patent number: 7862266
    Abstract: A recess and an attachment seat are formed in a front end of a tool body. A panel-shaped insert attached to the attachment seat where the thickness direction is matched with the diameter direction of the tool body and a surface of the insert facing the rear in a tool rotation direction becomes a pressed surface. A peripheral cutting edge is formed at a ridge of an inclined surface on the outside in the diameter direction of the tool body, a bevel edge is formed at a ridge on the front side of the tool body, and a back taper is attached to the peripheral cutting edge. A pressing member for pressing the pressed surface of the insert to adjust a position of the peripheral cutting edge in the diameter direction of the tool body is disposed on the rear side of the attachment seat in the tool rotation direction.
