A rotary tool holder having a plurality of cutting insert-receiving seats is manufactured by rough-forming the seats in a steel body, then hardening the body, and thereafter finish-forming the seats.

An indexable cutting insert comprises an upper surface, a bottom surface and side surface extending between said two surfaces. Between two adjacent cutting corners, a rake surfaces is formed such that the rake angle decreases with increasing cutting depth. In this way the cutting edge is reinforced towards a maximal cutting depth. This configuration is favorable, for example, at the machining of materials with a tendency of surface hardening.

Cutting insert with twisted chip surface

An indexable cutting insert comprises an upper surface, a bottom surface and side surfaces extending therebetween. Between two cutting corners, the rake surface is formed such that the rake angle is largest next to the two cutting corners and smallest at a point somewhere between the two cutting corners, preferably at or near the middle of the cutting edge. In this way, the cutting edge is strongest where the pressure load from the workpiece is largest, at the same time as a relatively small average rake angle is attained. This configuration decreases the cutting forces and the energy consumption.

Cutting insert for milling cutters

A cutting insert, preferably for milling cutters, comprises an upper side or chip surface, a bottom surface and side surfaces extending between the upper and bottom surfaces. At least one of the side surfaces having a relief surface adjacent to a cutting edge, which relief surface is helically twisted along the cutting edge so that the relief or clearance angle decreases with increasing cutting depth. This arrangement makes it possible to obtain an equally large clearance along the cutting edge even with a negative inclination of the cutting insert in the milling cutter body.

Cutting insert with twisted relief surface

A cutting insert comprises an upper side or chip surface, a bottom surface and side faces extending between these two surfaces. At least one side face is provided with a first, possibly helically twisted relief surface and under this first relief surface, a secondary relief surface. Between these two relief surfaces a recess is provided. With this recess, all grinding in the immediate proximity of the cutting edge is avoided. Further, by providing the recess, it is also made possible to precisely position the insert in the milling cutter body, even when the first relief surface is helically twisted.

Cutting insert with recess

A cutting insert is produced by form-pressing and sintering of powder. The insert comprises a top chip surface, a bottom surface, and at least one edge surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces. The edge surface includes at least one relief surface portion which intersects the top surface at an acute angle to form therewith a cutting edge. A grinding operation is performed on the edge surface, but only along a lower portion thereof disposed below the relief surface portion, i.e., only along an area which is to be placed against a locating surface of a machine tool during a cutting operation.

Process for producing a cutting insert

An insert for a milling cutter has a chip face and a bottom face which are interconnected by side surfaces. The intersection of side surfaces with the chip face forms four cutting edges. Each side surface is beveled at its intersection with a cutting edge to form a planar clearance face, the width of which increases toward one of the cutting corners. Each cutting edge includes a main edge portion, a corner edge portion, and a secondary edge portion. Each secondary edge portion extends inwardly from an associated secondary edge at an angle no greater than four degrees. At each corner, a secondary edge portion of one cutting edge forms an actual angle with a main edge portion of another cutting edge greater than ninety degrees. The insert is mounted at a negative radial rake and a positive axial rake such that such actual angle presents to a workpiece an effective angle of ninety degrees to cut a ninety degree shoulder in the workpiece.
