Patent number: 8926234Abstract: An indexable end-milling insert including an underside, an upperside and a plurality of cutting edges that are formed between the upperside and a number of clearance sides and that include a chip-removing main edge as well as a surface-wiping wiper edge. The cutting insert has a square basic shape and includes four main edges and four wiper edges that are countersunk to a lower level than the main edges. The wiper edge is included in a lip projecting in relation to a secondary clearance surface and has a tertiary clearance surface, which laterally transforms into a primary clearance surface. The primary clearance surface has a width that decreases from the two opposite ends thereof toward a section having a smallest width therebetween.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Tord Engström, Göran Pantzar, Patrik Svedberg, Magnus Åström

Patent number: 8506208Abstract: A shim plate for milling tools for chip removing machining, including an upperside, an underside, and at least one side surface extending between the upperside and the underside and forming an angle ?90° with the upperside. A through hole includes a first section mouthing in the upperside, and a second section mouthing in the underside and having a diameter that is smaller than a diameter of the first section. The upperside at least partially transforms into the side surface via an edge portion configured to be an active auxiliary chip-removing cutting edge upon failure of a cooperating cutting insert. The edge portion includes a chamfer surface that forms an obtuse angle (?) with the upperside.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2010Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventor: Tord Engström

Patent number: 8475088Abstract: A device and a method of making thereof includes a milling cutter body that is connectable to a rotatable spindle or holder. The milling cutter body is provided with at least one series of a plurality of tangentially spaced-apart cutting edges or a plurality of tangentially spaced-apart seats intended for milling inserts having at least one cutting edge. The cutting edges or seats of the series are arranged such that, within the series, a first angle between a radius that intersects a first cutting edge and a radius that intersects another cutting edge, which is situated closest to the first cutting edge in a direction of rotation around the rotation axis, is smaller than a second angle between the radius that intersects the first cutting edge and a radius that intersects another cutting edge, which is situated closest to the first cutting edge in a direction opposite the direction of rotation.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventor: Tord Engström

Patent number: 7802944Abstract: A tool for chip removing machining, including a basic body having a connecting surface included in an insert seat, and an indexable cutting insert mounted in the basic body and having a connecting surface in mechanical engagement with the connecting surface of the basic body, and fixed by a tightening element. The connecting surface of the basic body includes a solitary, polygonal elevation that protrudes from a bottom surrounding the elevation from all sides. The elevation includes two external side support surfaces orientated at an angle to each other. The connecting surface of the cutting insert includes a solitary depression that is wider and deeper than the elevation.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2008Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Tord Engström, Göran Pantzar, Patrik Svedberg, Magnus Åström

Patent number: 7513717Abstract: A face milling insert comprising a pair of main cutting edges which are spaced apart from a center and meet at a corner where they transform into a surface wiping secondary edge, which is intersected by a bisector defining the corner between the main cutting edges, inside each main cutting edge a slope surface being formed, which slopes towards a countersunk bottom surface in a chip surface. A shoulder, having a top side situated at a higher level than the bottom surface, extends inwardly from the secondary edge, the slope surface of the main cutting edge that actively co-operates with the secondary edge, terminating at the shoulder.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2006Date of Patent: April 7, 2009Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Tord Engström, Magnus Åström
