  • Patent number: 8403604
    Abstract: Rotatable multi-operation tool including replaceable cutting inserts of different types, and a basic body rotatable around a center axis with rear and front ends from which there is extending rearward an envelope surface in which at least one chip space is countersunk, which opens in the envelope surface and in the front end. A first cutting insert type is mounted in a first insert seat formed in one side surface of the chip space in the immediate vicinity of the front end and included in a cavity opening in the front end for the cutting insert to partly protrude axially forward from the front end. A second cutting insert type is mounted in a second insert seat formed in the same side surface as the first insert seat and situated axially behind the first insert seat and included in a cavity opening in a part of the envelope surface.

  • Publication number: 20120321397
    Abstract: Milling tool formed for hobbing of workpieces having cogs has a cylindrical tool body defining a rotation axis and a plurality of disc-shaped segments. Each segment includes a hub part having two opposite plane-parallel end surfaces extending perpendicular to the rotation axis, and a peripheral cam having a plurality of tangentially spaced-apart milling inserts. Bordering segments are detachably interconnected by male and female members co-operating in pairs and situated with the rotation axis extending through the members, each of which include a contact surface converging from a big end toward a small end and, in a cross-section across the rotation axis, form an out-of-round curve. Contact surfaces are dimensioned so that, when members are brought together, they direct their two bordering segments toward an end position centred and mutually angularly determined by the out-of-round cross-section curve and where plane-parallel end surfaces abut against each other. An individual segment is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8096734
    Abstract: A milling cutter tool including a basic body and a replaceable cutting body. The cutting body includes a set of teeth which are situated with a uniform partition along one of a pair of opposite sides of the cutting body. The cutting body is fixed in a pocket having a support surface against which the underside of the cutting body is mounted. The support surface of the pocket, and the underside of the cutting body, are tipped at a negative axial angle ? of at least 0.5° in relation to a center axis (C1) of the basic body such that the teeth of the cutting body are located along a common, phantom helical line (X), which is concentric with the center axis (C1) of the basic body and has an even pitch which corresponds to the partition between the teeth.

  • Patent number: 8038370
    Abstract: A milling cutter tool, including a basic body and a cutting body. The basic body includes an envelope surface and two opposite ends between which a geometrical center axis extends around which the basic body is rotated. The cutting body is fixed in a seating of the basic body and includes a pair of opposite main surfaces, a pair of opposite sides, and a pair of opposite end surfaces between which an imaginary, axial neutral plane extends situated halfway between the two main surfaces. The cutting body includes a set of chip removing teeth, which protrude from the envelope surface of the basic body, and are arranged in a row one after the other along at least one of the pair of opposite sides of the cutting body. Each one of the teeth includes a chip surface formed adjacent to a cutting edge from which the tooth extends between a pair of flanks along a length extension which is orientated at an angle (?) to the neutral plane.

  • Publication number: 20110197723
    Abstract: A turning insert formed for chip-cutting metal machining of a workpiece that rotates in a direction of rotation at a first speed of rotation around a workpiece axis, the turning insert including a front surface, an envelope surface, and a circular cutting edge located where the front surface meets the envelope surface. The cutting edge extends around the front surface and lays in a plane that forms an angle ? with the envelope surface. A tool axis extends through the turning insert in a normal direction in respect of the plane, and the turning insert, during the chip-cutting metal machining, is formed to rotate around the tool axis at a second speed of rotation. The envelope surface forms a chip surface and is arranged to meet chips formed in the chip-cutting metal machining, and the chip surface includes chip breaking means.

  • Publication number: 20110150582
    Abstract: A face mill for fine milling, including a basic body that is rotatable around a center axis (C1) in a predetermined direction and has a front end surface as well as an envelope surface concentric with the center axis (C1). A replaceable milling insert is mounted in a seat and has the shape of a polygon that includes a front side, a back side and a plurality of side surfaces, which converge in pairs into corners and at least one of which forms a chip surface that, together with the front side, delimits a cutting edge, which is tangent to an imaginary reference plane (RP) that extends perpendicular to the center axis (C1) and is axially spaced apart in the forward direction from the front end surface of the basic body. The front side of the milling insert is tilted at a clearance angle (?) in relation to the reference plane (RP).

  • Patent number: 7568864
    Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining, including a replaceable cutting insert and a basic body. The basic body includes a rear fixing part, a front supporting part having an insert seat, and a tightening part situated over the support part, and spaced-apart from the front supporting part by a first gap and from the rear fixing part by a second gap. The tightening part is connected to the basic body via a joint. The joint is formed of at least one elastically resilient material portion and has an axis around which the tightening part is pivoted in order to press the cutting insert against the insert seat by a front finger. The rear fixing part includes an internal channel for feed of a fluid in the forward direction through the basic body. The internal channel extends into a second channel inside the tightening part via a channel section that is entirely or partly housed in a bridge which, like the joint, is formed of the material in the basic body, and which bridges one of the first and second gaps.
