Cutting insert

A rotary cutting tool for slotting and a cutting insert replaceably mounted to such a rotary cutting tool. The cutting insert is mounted to an insert pocket of a tool body of the rotary cutting tool and is pressed by an elastic pressure portion provided in the tool body. The cutting insert has an upper surface, a lower surface and four peripheral side surfaces. The top and lower surfaces have an inclined surface pressed by the elastic pressure portion. When the cutting insert is mounted to the insert pocket, the inclined surface of the upper surface is pressed by the elastic pressure portion. The inclined surface is inclined with respect to a cross section of the cutting insert such that the lower surface and two peripheral side surfaces of the cutting insert are contacted with the insert pocket by pressure of the elastic pressure portion.

Rotary cutting tool and cutting insert therefor

A cutting insert mountable in an insert pocket of a milling cutter and capable of effectively absorbing a radially outward force during high speed machining and high ramp machining. The cutting insert has a top surface, a bottom surface, peripheral surfaces extending between the top and bottom surfaces, a mounting hole extending through the top surface and the bottom surface, a protrusion portion protruding from the bottom surface, and a pair of lower inclined abutment surfaces formed at opposite edges of the bottom surface. The lower inclined abutment surfaces are inclined in opposite directions toward a pair of opposing peripheral surfaces, outwardly and upwardly relative to the protrusion portion. The protrusion portion extends across the mounting hole and has a lateral surface facing radially outwardly of the milling cutter. The lateral surface selectively contacts or does not contact the insert pocket depending on a revolution speed of the milling cutter.

Cutting insert and milling cutter including same

A cutting tool has a main body provided with a pocket part and a cutting insert. The pocket part includes at least one side wall and bottom surface which includes a pocket part base surface, a first pocket part inclined surface connected to an inner end of the base surface on an inside of the main body, and a second pocket part inclined surface connected to an outer end of the base surface on an outside of the main body. The cutting insert has an upper surface, a lower surface and side surfaces connecting the upper surface and the lower surface. The lower surface includes an insert base surface, first and second inclined surfaces inclined upwardly from first and second sides of the base surface, respectively. The cutting insert is seated in the pocket part such that the second inclined surface abuts the second pocket part inclined surface.
