Abstract: A drill includes a center insert which is indexable, mounted in a center pocket, and has an elongate basic shape. One of two opposite longitudinal side contact surfaces of the cutting insert which run parallel to each other are urged against the side support surface of the center pocket. The side support surface of the center pocket is inclined in relation to the center axis of the drill body at an acute angle within the range of 3-8 degrees. An intermediate surface is formed between the side contact surface and an end surface. The intermediate surface is shorter than the side contact surface and forms an obtuse angle with the side contact surface.

Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining, including a basic body and two replaceable cutting inserts. Each insert includes a chip-removing main edge situated between a chip surface and a clearance surface, a first insert of which precedes a second insert during machining of a workpiece. The cutting inserts overlap each other in a zone defined by a borderline along which a surface generated by the main edge of the first cutting insert, with a time delay, is intersected by the main edge of the subsequent, second cutting insert. The main edge of the second cutting insert that afterwards intersects the already generated surface, is formed along a chip surface including primary and secondary sections, which have different shapes in cross-sections spaced-apart along the main edge in order to form a primary part edge and a secondary, reinforced part edge arranged to intersect the already generated surface.

Abstract: A drill for chip removing machining, including a drill body, and a replaceable cutting insert mounted in a pocket formed in a front tip of the drill body. A chip flute extends backwardly from the pocket along the drill body, and the cutting insert is fixed in the pocket by a screw including a head and a shank having a male thread. The cutting insert includes a through hole extending between a topside and an underside. The hole has a basic shape that is rotationally symmetrical in relation to a center axis, and is delimited by a series of surfaces including a mouth surface, converging downward from the topside, and a shoulder surface. The head of the screw is kept pressed against the shoulder surface when the male thread of the screw is tightened in a female thread included in a hole that mouths in a bottom of the pocket. The mouth surface in the hole of the cutting insert has a trumpet-like, cross section-wise convex shape adjacent to the topside of the cutting insert.

Abstract: A drill for chip removing machining, including a drill body that rotates around a center axis (C1) and has a rear end, and a front end from which there extends rearward an envelope surface in which two chip flutes each having an insert pocket are countersunk, and two replaceable cutting inserts, including a peripheral cutting insert mounted in a peripheral pocket, and a center insert, which is indexable and mounted in a center pocket that opens in the front end of the drill body and is delimited by a bottom surface, a rear end support surface, a side support surface of a partition wall, and an inside of a border adjacent to the envelope surface. The center insert includes an upperside and an underside between which a through hole for a tightening screw extends, and has an elongate basic shape that is mirror-symmetrical in relation to an imaginary, longitudinal central plane (P) with which a center axis (C3) of the hole coincides.
