  • Publication number: 20170113286
    Abstract: An insert in which a cutting edge is formed only between an upper surface and a side surface. The insert comprises: three or more corners along a perimeter; a main cutting edge formed on an edge between an upper surface and a main side surface, and a sub cutting edge formed on an edge between the upper surface and a sub side surface, wherein the main cutting edge and the sub cutting edge are placed in succession between the corners; and a flat lower surface. The main cutting edge forms an inclination angle such that a height decreases gradually in a direction toward the sub cutting edge. The main side surface is formed by a first end main side surface and a second end main side surface. The sub side surface is formed by a first end sub side surface and a second end sub side surface.

  • Publication number: 20160263664
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cutting insert and an indexable drill. The cutting insert and the indexable drill according to the present disclosure are configured such that when the cutting insert is mounted on the indexable drill, the cutting insert is easily inserted into the indexable drill at the initial time, and strong coupling force is implemented between the indexable drill and the cutting insert at a point of time at which the cutting insert is completely mounted. In addition, the cutting insert, according to the present disclosure, has excellent rigidity, when compared to cutting inserts in the related art that perform identical/similar cutting processing, since a portion, which is weak in rigidity, is provided as a thick portion.

  • Patent number: 6957935
    Abstract: A cutting insert for a milling machining adapted to be mounted on a milling cutter to carry out cutting operation and having primary and secondary cutting edges provided at sides of a rectangular body, each primary cutting edge having a curved line tangential to the adjacent secondary cutting edge, to reduce the cutting force and improve flatness of the side surface of a machined workpiece. The cutting insert includes an upper face, a bottom face and a plurality of side faces connecting the upper face and the bottom face. The primary cutting edge has chip breakers for guiding chip flow, primary cutting edge land faces and primary cutting edge clearance faces. The primary cutting edges enable a bottom surface and a side surface of a machined workpiece to have a right angle therebetween.

  • Patent number: 6935990
    Abstract: A safety circuit for power takeoff (PTO) for use in an automobile and a method for controlling the same is disclosed. The safety circuit determines whether a PTO unit, driving a pump, and a transmission must be coupled to each other according to the speed of the automobile and operating states of a clutch switch and PTO switch manipulated by a driver without use of an additional power cutoff relay. Such a safety circuit provides a cost-effective system capable of reducing the number of system components and quickly performing a stable operation using a small number of components in comparison with a system equipped with a conventional safety device for PTO.

  • Patent number: 6217264
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cutting insert capable of enhancing the surface roughness of worked materials and lengthening the durability of a cutting tool which has utilized in conjunction with the cutting insert, capable of efficiently removing cut chips from the cutting region by making a chip breaker into a complete free curved surface to discharge the cut chips in the most natural direction and form, which are formed when performing a desired cutting operation of ferrous or nonferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, stainless, etc., to also minimize the resistance to chip flow and the occurrence of the melted-sticking phenomenon. The cutting insert has a specific chip breaker formed on an upper surface thereof with the aid of a pressure molding operation using a mold and in a sintering operation. A lower surface of the cutting insert is formed as a plane. The lower surface is firmly fixed on a holder for cutting tool and supports the cutting insert when mounting the cutting insert in the holder for cutting tool.
