Patent number: 8807888Abstract: A tool shank for use with a cutting insert in a rotary cutting tool includes a body having, and adapted to be rotated about, a central longitudinal tool axis, the body having a tip portion structured to receive at least a portion of the cutting insert therein. The shank also includes a pair of chip flutes formed in the body and a pair of recesses, each recess bordering a respective chip flute. Each recess includes a rim portion extending perpendicular to the tool axis and a bearing surface extending at an incline relative to the tool axis. Each rim portion is adapted to engage a corresponding surface on the cutting insert. Each bearing surface is adapted to engage a corresponding bearing surface on the cutting insert in a manner such that the cutting insert is pulled against the body when the rotary cutting tool is rotated about the tool axis.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2013Date of Patent: August 19, 2014Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Bernhard Borschert, Dieter Muhlfriedel, Jurgen Schwagerl, Ruy Frota de Souza, Jr., Michael D.

Patent number: 8366358Abstract: A rotary cutting tool that is composed of a tool shank with at least one chucking groove or chip flute and one exchangeable cutting insert. At the tip of the shank a recess for accommodating the cutting insert is provided. The tool shank, on its circumference, has a limb with a bearing surface that is inclined relative to the tool axis and that corresponds to a likewise inclined bearing surface on a wing of the cutting insert. The inclination of the bearing surfaces produces an axial force that retains the cutting insert on the tool shank.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Bernhard Borschert, Dieter Mühlfriedel, Jürgen Schwägerl, Ruy Frota De Souza, Jr., Michael D.

Patent number: 7832966Abstract: The present invention is directed to a helical drill configuration that allows substantially flat bottomed holes to be machined. At the cutting end of the body member, there are at least two cutting edges that are symmetrically oriented on opposing sides of the rotational axis of the drill. In an embodiment of the invention, first and second cutting edge portions form a continuous surface which provides strength and tool stability. The height of the second portions of each of the cutting edges remains relatively consistent along the horizontal for formation of a generally flat bottom hole. In the embodiment, a center point is defined by two sloped peak surfaces. A central straight chisel edge is formed by the intersection of the two sloped peak surfaces. The first cutting edge section extends from the chisel edge to the second cutting edge section. The first cutting edge section for both cutting edges is formed by symmetrically thinning the two peak surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 28, 2006Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Michael D. Shultz, Stephen M. George, Raymond E. Moring, David L. Ford

Patent number: 5495132Abstract: A brushless DC motor in which increased rotor resistance is used to facilitate very frequent reversals. The rotor endcap is thinned down to the point where the resistance seen by the path of the current loop through one of said endcaps, is at least one-half as much as the resistance seen by the portion of said current loop which flows along the length of one of said rotor bars.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 1994Date of Patent: February 27, 1996Assignee: SGS-Thomson Microelectronics, Inc.Inventors: Christopher J.
