Patent number: 8366358Abstract: A rotary cutting tool that is composed of a tool shank with at least one chucking groove or chip flute and one exchangeable cutting insert. At the tip of the shank a recess for accommodating the cutting insert is provided. The tool shank, on its circumference, has a limb with a bearing surface that is inclined relative to the tool axis and that corresponds to a likewise inclined bearing surface on a wing of the cutting insert. The inclination of the bearing surfaces produces an axial force that retains the cutting insert on the tool shank.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2010Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Kennametal Inc.Inventors: Bernhard Borschert, Dieter Mühlfriedel, Jürgen Schwägerl, Ruy Frota De Souza, Jr., Michael D.

Patent number: 8360694Abstract: A rotatable multi-operation tool for chip removing machining, including a plurality of replaceable cutting inserts of different types, and a basic body that is rotatable around a center axis and includes a rear end and a front end from which there is extending rearward an envelope surface in which at least one chip space, delimited by two opposite side surfaces, is countersunk, which opens in the envelope surface and in the front end. A first cutting insert is mounted in a first insert seat that is formed in one side surface of the chip space and situated in the immediate vicinity of the front end and included in a cavity that opens in the front end for the cutting insert to partly protrude axially forward from the front end. A second cutting insert, of a type other than the first cutting insert, is mounted in a second insert seat, which is formed in the same side surface as the first insert seat and situated axially behind the first insert seat.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: January 29, 2013Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventor: Sture Sjöö

The basic body includes at least one end-side drilling major cutting edge, a main flute which is assigned to said drilling major cutting edge and is wound at a first helix angle, and a plurality of reaming cutting edges which are arranged circumferentially on the basic body and have in each case one reamer flute which is assigned to the respective reaming cutting edge and is wound at a second helix angle. The reaming cutting edges adjoin the at least one major cutting edge directly in the longitudinal direction. Each reamer flute is merged into the main flute.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2012Publication date: January 3, 2013Applicant: KENNAMETAL, INC.Inventors: HERBERT RUDOLF KAUPER, JURGEN SCHWAEGERL

Patent number: 8342781Abstract: A drill body for chip removing machining, including a rotationally symmetrical envelope surface and front and rear ends between which a center axis extends, around which the envelope surface is rotatable in a predetermined direction of rotation. A head is formed in the front end that includes two cutting edges, each one of which includes a first part edge and a second part edge. The first part edge is included in a central tip part having a front end portion situated along the center axis. The second part edge extends between a peripheral end point positioned along the envelope surface and a radially inner end point where the second part edge transforms into the first part edge. The two first part edges converge at a positive nose angle (?) in an axially forward direction, and the two second part edges diverge at a negative angle (?) in the axially forward direction.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2009Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventor: Kari Soittu

Patent number: 8328473Abstract: A drill in which no positional shift on a drilled hole and no irregularities on an internal wall are formed. A torsion angle of a shaving discharge groove of a drill is set in the range of 30 degrees to 50 degrees. In this manner, a positional shift of a through hole to be drilled can be reduced. In addition, shavings of the drill are properly discharged, and thus, drilling is not precluded by the shavings. Therefore, a printed wiring board having excellent electric connectivity and reliability can be obtained.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2005Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Ibiden Co., Ltd.Inventors: Akinobu Ito, Yasuharu Sakaguchi

Publication number: 20120294683Abstract: Rotatable drilling tool has an insert top detachably connectable to a basic body and at least one chip flute. In each cross-section, each chip flute has a depth equal to the difference between the radius of a cutting circle and a radius of a greatest possible core circle centered on the longitudinal axis and tangential to a limiting curve of the respective chip flute. The basic body is divided longitudinally into a coupling segment, extending axially rearward from a coupling end, and a transportation segment that is situated axially behind the coupling segment, extends rearward toward a fixing end, and is longer than the coupling segment. Each chip flute extends through the coupling segment and the transportation segment. At least essentially the entire female part is situated in the coupling segment, and each chip flute has a smaller depth in the coupling segment than in the transportation segment.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 7, 2012Publication date: November 22, 2012Inventor: Magnus Aare

Publication number: 20120288340Abstract: A bit for removing a broken fastener comprises a tip from which extend two or more notches separated by traction or biting surfaces formed from two-sided frusto-conically-shaped regions. The surfaces are bounded on one side by a nonlinear cutting edge and on the other side by a non-cutting edge and are configured to cut into the fastener when the bit is rotated in a direction opposite to the fastener's direction of engagement. Specific embodiments include configurations where the cutting edges extend at different angles with respect to the bit axis, where the biting surfaces comprise a plurality of serrations, and where the cutting edges are separated by flutes which spiral along a longitudinally extending periphery of the bit.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2012Publication date: November 15, 2012Inventors: Burton Kozak, Ira Kozak

Patent number: 8308402Abstract: A drill body for chip removing machining, including an envelope surface which is concentric with a center axis around which the drill body is rotatable, and transforms into a front end surface, and a front cutting edge adjacent to a chip flute which is countersunk in the envelope surface in the area in front of the cutting edge as viewed in the direction of rotation of the drill body and runs out into the front end surface. In the front part of the chip flute, a depression is formed, which includes two part surfaces extending at an obtuse angle (?) to each other, one of which forms a bottom surface in the depression, and the other of which faces the cutting edge and is in front of the cutting edge as viewed in the direction of rotation to form a stop face for a chip removed by the cutting edge.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventor: Magnus Brink

Patent number: 8292555Abstract: This invention has to do with a rotary twist drill of the type having a fluted cylindrical shank with a drill bit end having at least two cutting edges extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the drill. Cutting edges are formed by the intersection of the flutes with the drill point end and extend radially outwardly from the center of the drill body to the outer perimeter of the drill body. Gashes formed on the drill point end form innermost cutting edge portions which are symmetrical with one another about a point offset both horizontally and vertically from the axial centerline of the drill body so as to allow a positive cutting action at the centerline of the material to be removed.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2008Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Inventor: William Allen Shaffer
