  • Patent number: 11806792
    Abstract: A cutting tool may include a holder extended along a central axis from a first end to a second end and including a pocket, and a cutting insert located in the pocket. The holder may further include an upper surface, a lower surface, a first end surface, a first side surface, a recess, a first flow path and a second flow path. The recess opens into the first end surface and the first side surface. The first flow path is located along the central axis. The second flow path is located closer to the upper surface than the recess and connects to the first flow path. An imaginary plane that passes through the central axis and is orthogonal to the lower surface is a reference plane. The pocket opens into the recess and is recessed from the recess toward the reference plane.

  • Patent number: 8342779
    Abstract: In a cutting insert of the invention, a protruded portion formed on an upper surface lying more inward than a breaker groove along a corner comprises a breaker projection adjacentmost to the corner; a breaker wall face formed connectedly with the breaker projection so as to project more upward than the breaker projection; and a breaker side face formed connectedly with the breaker wall face. The breaker wall face is formed to have a smaller width toward the projecting direction of the breaker wall face, and inclined to have a higher position as it departs from the corner. The breaker side face is formed to have a larger width as it departs from the corner. The height of the breaker projection is not more than half of the height of the top of the breaker wall face, and is lower than the height of the cutting edge along the corner. A cutting method using a cutting tool comprising the cutting insert is also provided.
