Abstract: A turning tool cutting insert having an insert face with a rake face includes a primary land extending along a first cutting edge. The primary land includes a first primary land portion adjacent a linear edge portion, and a second primary land portion adjacent a central portion of the corner edge portion. The first primary land portion differs from the second primary land portion. A transitional primary land portion adjoins the first primary land portion and the second primary land portion, and forms a transition between the first primary land portion and the second primary land portion. The transitional primary land portion is arranged only adjacent an outer portion of the corner edge portion. Further, a turning tool including a turning tool cutting insert is disclosed.

Abstract: A turning insert includes a top surface, an opposite bottom surface, side surfaces connecting the top surface and the bottom surface and two opposite nose portions. Each nose portion includes a convex nose cutting edge, a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge. The convex nose cutting edge connects the first and second cutting edges. A bisector extends equidistantly from the first and second cutting edges. In a top view the first and second cutting edges on the same nose portion form a nose angle (?) of 70-85° relative to each other. Each nose portion includes a third convex cutting edge adjacent to the first cutting edge and a fourth cutting edge adjacent to the third cutting edge. In a top view the fourth cutting edge forms an angle (?) of 0-34° relative to the bisector.

Abstract: A turning insert includes a top surface, an opposite bottom surface, a reference plane located parallel to and between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a center axis extending perpendicular to the reference plane and intersecting the reference plane (RP), the top surface and the bottom surface. Side surfaces connect the top surface and the bottom surface. Three nose portions are formed symmetrically relative to the center axis. Each nose portion includes a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge and a convex nose cutting edge connecting the first) and second cutting edges. In a top view the first and second cutting edges on the same nose portion form a nose angle of 25-50° relative to each other. The distance from the first cutting edge to the reference plane varies in such a way that that this distance is decreasing at increasing distance from the nose cutting edge.

Abstract: A double-sided, indexable, polygonal turning insert includes a plurality of corners, a peripheral clearance surface, and identical upper and under sides. Along the upper side and underside, primary cutting edges, which individually include a nose edge situated in a corner and two main edges, converge toward the same and transform into auxiliary cutting edges, which separate each pair of primary cutting edges along one and the same side. Chip-directing guide surfaces are placed inside the chip surfaces of the cutting edges. The primary cutting edge has a generally positive cutting geometry such that a wedge angle of the cutting edge between the chip surface and the clearance surface is acute in arbitrary sections along the nose edge, as well as along the two main edges. In such a way, the primary cutting edge produces chips that can be guided in a careful, although distinct, way by the guide surfaces.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a polygonal turning insert having primary cutting edges, which individually include a nose edge and two main edges, which converge toward the same. Behind the nose edge, chip-directing guide surfaces are formed, on one hand, with a breast surface included in a knob situated behind the nose edge along a bisector between the main edges, and, on the other hand, with a pair of flank surfaces included in a land there behind. At a distance behind the knob, there is formed a second breast surface, the upper part of which is situated on a higher level than the upper part of the first breast surface. In such a way, it is guaranteed that thin chips, which tend to pass or jump over the first breast surface without being affected by the same, will impinge on the second, higher breast surface and be subjected to guiding by the same.

Abstract: Polygonal turning insert has a cutting edge including three part edges, a nose edge and two main edges, and chip-guiding flank surfaces for each part edge, a primary flank surface, and secondary flank surfaces. The primary flank surface is convexly arched and delimited by an arched lower boundary line, which has an apex point facing the nose edge and is situated along a bisector between the main edges, and includes two mirror-symmetrical arc part lines extending from the apex point to a pair of opposite end points situated along a reference line intersecting the bisector at a midpoint between the end points. The distance between the midpoint and the individual end points is greater than that between the midpoint and the apex point. An angle of inclination of the primary flank surface decreases from a greatest value in a bisector section to a smallest value in a reference line section.
