A cemented carbide insert, including an upper side, an under side, a plurality of side surfaces extending between the upper side and the underside, and an inset including a cutting edge. The cutting edge includes a nose edge and two main edges converging toward the nose edge. The inset is formed of a material that is harder than the cemented carbide, and is countersunk in the surrounding cemented carbide and co-ground with the surrounding cemented carbide. The inset is arranged in a front, wedge-shaped head delimited by one chip surface and two clearance surfaces running along the main edges. The inset transforms into an adjacent body part via limiting surfaces situated inside imaginary planes in the extension of the chip surface and the clearance surfaces.

Cemented carbide insert as well as a cemented carbide blank for the manufacture of such cutting inserts

A cutting insert kit, including a base part formed of a brittle and wear-resistant material, and a plurality of cutting insert blanks integrally formed with the base part, which are separable one by one from the base part via indications of fracture. Each insert blank includes a front end portion, a rear end portion, an upper side, an under side, and at least one cutting edge in the front end portion formed between a clearance surface and one of the upper and under sides. The base part is common to all cutting insert blanks and to which each cutting insert blank is united to the base part via an indication of fracture in the form of a weakened connection member between the base part and the rear end portion of the cutting insert blank.

Cutting insert kit, method for manufacturing cutting inserts and a cutting insert for a cutting insert kit

Tool for chip removing machining includes a basic body having an insert seat, and an indexable cutting insert fixed in the seat. The insert includes two cutting edges and at least two heads spaced-apart via an intermediate part and individually include a front portion having at least one cutting edge and a rear portion along which a pair of side contact surfaces are formed. The insert seat includes a front cavity including a pair of side support surfaces against which side contact surfaces of the cutting insert are pressed. The basic body is formed integrally of steel material and the seat is countersunk in the basic body so side support surfaces are integrated in the steel material. The cutting insert is formed integrally from a second, hard-wearing material having at least the same hardness as cemented carbide, the side contact surfaces of the insert being integrated in the second material.

Tool for chip removing machining as well as a solid indexable cutting insert and a solid basic body therefor

The invention relates to a cutting tool including a basic body and a cutting insert detachably connected to the basic body via an interface, which includes a pair of co-operating connecting surfaces in which engagement means are included, which may be in the form of knobs and seatings. A knob and a co-operating seating have a rotationally symmetrical, conical shape to prevent translation of the cutting insert in the plane of the interface. Another knob ensures that the cutting insert cannot be rotated in relation to the conical knob. Simultaneously, ample bearing surfaces abut against co-operating support surfaces in a connecting surface. In such a way, the cutting insert is fixed in a stable, non-overdetermined position in the basic body. Furthermore, the invention relates to a cutting insert as such.

Tool and a cutting insert for chip removing machining

An indexable turning insert, which has a symmetrical, preferably rotationally symmetrical basic shape, that is determined by a clearance surface extending between a top side and an underside, and which includes a cutting edge as well as a coupling device located to the underside. The coupling device comprises at least two, preferably three, suitably equiangularly spaced-apart engagement members, preferably in the form of ridges, emanating radially from a center axis and having a pair of flanks that mutually form an obtuse angle. A turning tool and an attachment for the same is also disclosed.

Turning tool and an indexable turning insert, as well as an attachment for such turning tools

A cutting insert having a front cutting edge and a connecting surface including male- and/or female-like engagement portions, in order to rigidly secure the cutting insert, a geometrically predetermined reference locus serving as a force-application spot for the clamping of the cutting insert. Simultaneously active engagement portions are of only two types&#x2014;a first, elongate engagement portion, which is located between the front cutting edge and the reference locus, and a second, elongate engagement means, which is oriented at an angle to the first engagement portion and situated at a greater distance from the front cutting edge than the reference locus. In such a way, it is guaranteed that a tightening force always is applied to the cutting insert in a substantially triangular area, which is defined by the free ends of the engagement portions. Furthermore, a tool for chip removing machining, as well as an attachment, e.g., a shim plate, for such tools is provided.

Cutting insert and a tool for chip removing machining, as well as an attachment for such tools

An indexible turning tool for chip forming machining, includes a holder equipped with insert pockets receiving replaceable inserts, as well as a securing portion intended to be received in a tool machine. At least one of the replaceable inserts has a main plane that extends laterally in relation to the tool's axial direction.
