Patent number: 7270504Abstract: A cutting tool and a method for the production of cutting tools for metalworking characterized in that the holder body of the tool first is submitted to a surface hardening that results in the formation of compressive stresses in the surface and then submitted to a surface treatment that gives additional contribution of compressive stresses in the surface. In this way, it is allowed to, on one hand, be able to modify/machine or remove parts of or the entire phase-transition layer obtained in the surface hardening at the same time as additional compressive stresses are built up in the surface of a hardened steel material in the tool body.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Klas Tübinger, Mikael Herdin, Dan Höglund

Patent number: 7261498Abstract: A deburring tool having an indexable cutting insert having four cutting edges. The cutting insert has a main body portion and a guide groove. The cutting insert is slidably retained in an insert pocket with the main body portion of the insert located in a generally rectangular slot of the insert pocket and with the guide groove located and engaging a guide member portion of the insert pocket. The cutting insert is moveable between a retracted position and an extended position by means of a spring which biases the cutting insert towards the extended position. The sliding movement of the cutting insert is performed by the sliding of the guide member within the guide groove.Type: GrantFiled: November 3, 2005Date of Patent: August 28, 2007Assignee: Iscar Ltd.Inventors: Gil Hecht, Michael Abramson, Daniel Men

Patent number: 7220086Abstract: The invention concerns a tool head for employment in machine tools with multiple indexable cutting inserts (20, 20?, 20?). The tool head includes a base body (12), a tool shank (14) projecting axially beyond the base body (12) and at least two blade receptacles (18, 18?, 18?) which are spaced apart at least in the circumferential direction for receiving respectively one indexable cutting insert. The active main cutting edge of the different indexable cutting inserts therein have a differing adjustment angle (?, ??, ??) relative to the axis of the base body. In order to reduce the blade costs, the same type of indexable cutting insert (20, 20?, 20?) is provided in the different blade receptacles.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 2003Date of Patent: May 22, 2007Assignee: Komet Group Holding GmbHInventors: Bernd Killinger, Mike Bodin

Patent number: 7201542Abstract: A solid drill bit for machine tools. has a bit body and two movable inserts located a radial distance apart in insert seats of the bit body. The inserts have a rectangular or quadratic contour, project axially over the bit body with their major cutting edges and overlap in their working area. The outer movable insert projects radially beyond the periphery of the bit body with its outer cutting edge corner and with the adjoining minor cutting edge. Starting from the cutting edge corner, the minor cutting edge is inclined in the direction of the bit body at a setting angle of less than 3.2 °. The minor cutting edge has a guiding edge that is slidingly supported against the wall of the bore over at least part of its length due to a radially outwardly oriented thrust force.Type: GrantFiled: April 6, 2001Date of Patent: April 10, 2007Assignee: Komet Praezisionswerkzeuge Robert Breuning GmbHInventors: Andree Fritsch, Hans Haidinger, Alexander Krause, Jacek Kruszynski, Helmut Morlok, Frank Roeser, Henry Schuett, Miltiadis Theodorou

Patent number: 7192224Abstract: A double or multiple-edged drilling tool has a base body rotatable about a drilling axis, and at least two plate seats arranged on the front face for accommodating identical interchangeable cutting plates. The cutting plates each have a machining face, and a clearance face adjoining a principal cutting edge forming a cutting wedge, and a seat face facing away from the clearance face. A guiding land adjoins radially outwardly through each edge the machining face, the clearance face and optically the seat face. The cutting plates each have a hole for a retaining screw which is screwed into a threaded bore at the front face of the base body. The holes are aligned with their axis perpendicular to the clearance face of the associated cutting plates the threaded bores are aligned inclined to the drilling axis and inclined to each other in the base body.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2001Date of Patent: March 20, 2007Assignee: Komet Praezisionswerkzeuge Robert Breuning GmbHInventors: Andree Fritsch, Jacek Kruszynski, Frank Roeser, Henry Schuett, Benno Spors, Juergen Heilmann, Peter Leuze

Patent number: 7182556Abstract: A drill improving the aligning accuracy of an insert and achieves a stable machining operation while maintaining the strength of the drill main body. The drill includes a drill main body rotatable about an axis, and a throwaway insert detachably attached to the drill main body. The drill main body includes a concave groove opening at a distal end face thereof, the concave groove includes guiding grooves extending in the direction of the axis on an inner surface thereof, the throwaway insert includes convex portions on an outer surface that are engageable with the guiding grooves, and the concave groove is formed so as to accommodate the throwaway insert. The throwaway insert is attached to the drill main body by insertion into the concave groove in a direction from the distal end face to the concave groove while engaging the convex portions with the guiding grooves.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2002Date of Patent: February 27, 2007Assignee: Mitsubishi Materials CorporationInventors: Syoji Takiguchi, Yasuhiko Kawade

Patent number: 7168893Abstract: In a throw-away tipped drill, a slit is formed at the bottom surface of a tip attachment seat which faces towards the end of its axial line direction, with this slit extending towards the rear of the axial line direction. Furthermore, when seen from the end of the axial line direction, this slit is arranged as being displaced so as to be closer to a second end portion into which a shaft portion of a clamp bolt is threaded than to a first end portion which is pressed by a head portion of that clamp bolt. As a result, when, using the clamp bolt, the pair of outer side surfaces of the tip are pressed by the pair of internal side surfaces of the tip attachment seat, the pressing forces are mutually equal to one another.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2004Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: Mitsubishi Materials CorporationInventor: Syoji Takiguchi
