  • Patent number: 8734062
    Abstract: A cutting assembly useful for the chipforming removal of material from a workpiece at the cutting insert-workpiece interface. The cutting assembly has a holder with a coolant passage and a seat. As one option, a stud extends away from the seat and facilitates coolant flow to an insert locking cap, which attaches to the stud. The insert locking cap directs coolant flow toward the cutting insert-workpiece interface. As another option, a diverter plate has a bottom surface with a bowl and an arcuate forward surface with one or more openings. Coolant flows from the coolant passage into the bowl then exits through at least one opening in the arcuate forward surface towards the cutting insert-workpiece interface.

The spacer element preferably has an interface which comprises only radial contact surfaces, which run parallel to a longitudinal axis of the spacer element, and a substantially flat axial contact surface, which runs transverse to the longitudinal axis. The length of the spacer element can therefore be shortened on the rear side of the spacer element without destroying said interface.

  • Patent number: 8465232
    Abstract: A cutting tool includes a coolant conveying member, to provide coolant fluid to a cutting area during a cutting operation. The coolant conveying member includes a member body having a fluid passage formed therein, and a nozzle to convey and to jet out the coolant fluid therethrough. The nozzle is shiftable relative to the member body, between a first, extended position and a second, retracted position. In the extended position, for example, assumed during the cutting operation—the nozzle extends out and forwardly from the member body, stabilized by the continuous flow of coolant fluid therethrough, forcing the nozzle forwardly. In the retracted position, for example, assumed when the when the coolant fluid does not flow through the coolant conveying member, or flows at a very low rate, the nozzle may be at least partially accommodated in the fluid passage, to allow, for example, indexing or replacing of the cutting insert.

  • Patent number: 8459904
    Abstract: A cutting insert rotated about an axis may be utilized during a metal working operation and applied against the rotating workpiece to enhance tool performance. Coolant may be provided through the central bore of the cutting insert utilizing bypass ports around the threaded hold-down bolts. Additionally, the cutting insert may be held within the toolholder pocket utilizing hoop walls which follow a serpentine path to provide flexibility. Finally, relative rotation of the cutting insert with respect to the toolholder body may be prevented utilizing a pair of protrusions within the toolholder pocket which engage a pair of recesses within a side of the cutting insert.

  • Publication number: 20130129428
    Abstract: A toolholder has a head portion including a slot separating the head portion into a lower extension with a lower seat and an upper extension with an upper seat to retain a cutting insert. The head portion contains a coolant entrance passage, which receives coolant from a coolant source, and a coolant delivery passage, which discharges coolant toward a cutting insert. The cutting insert includes a top surface with an upwardly extending protuberance that can be engaged by the toolholder to rigidly mount the cutting insert in the head portion of the toolholder. The cutting insert further includes a coolant channel formed in the top surface of the cutting insert that is positioned directly opposite of the coolant discharge to enhance the flow rate of the coolant delivered to the cutting insert-workpiece interface.

  • Patent number: 8439608
    Abstract: A cutting insert-shim assembly that has a cutting insert with a bottom surface and a plurality of interior coolant passages wherein each interior coolant passage has a coolant inlet in the bottom surface of the cutting insert. The shim has a first side surface and a second side surface and contains a cavity, which communicates with the coolant conduit. The cavity defines a first opening in the first side surface and a second opening in the second side surface. When the shim is in a first condition, the first side surface contacts the bottom surface of the cutting insert and the first opening provides a first level of coolant communication to the interior coolant passages in the cutting insert. When the shim is in a second condition, the second side surface contacts the bottom surface of the cutting insert and the second opening provides a second level of coolant communication to the interior coolant passages in the cutting insert.

  • Publication number: 20130101362
    Abstract: A method for bonding together components, such as a tip and a shaft which include mutually facing carbide end surfaces. The tip includes circumferentially spaced flutes formed in its cylindrical outer periphery. The shaft has a cylindrical outer periphery and a plurality of coolant holes extending through the shaft. Bonding of the tip to the shaft is performed by inserting gauge wires into the coolant holes and associated flutes, and positioning brazing material between the first and second end surfaces. A water-soluble bond-blocking material is applied to the gauge wires for preventing brazing of the gauge wires to the brazing material. The brazing material is heated to braze the first and second end surfaces together while the flutes and their associated coolant holes are maintained in alignment by the gauge wires. Then, the gauge wires are removed, and residual bond-blocking material is dissolved in water.

    Abstract: A cutting assembly useful for the chipforming removal of material from a workpiece at the cutting insert-workpiece interface. The cutting assembly has a holder with a coolant passage and a seat. As one option, a stud extends away from the seat and facilitates coolant flow to an insert locking cap, which attaches to the stud. The insert locking cap directs coolant flow toward the cutting insert-workpiece interface. As another option, a diverter plate has a bottom surface with a bowl and an arcuate forward surface with one or more openings. Coolant flows from the coolant passage into the bowl then exits through at least one opening in the arcuate forward surface towards the cutting insert-workpiece interface.
