Cutting insert and cutting tool equipped therewith

Abstract

Provided is a cutting insert and a cutting tool equipped with the cutting tool improving the force to clamp the insert and improving the strength of the insert and the chip dischargeability. The cutting insert includes: an upper surface, which is a first end surface; a lower surface, which is a surface on an opposite side to the upper surface, and is a second end surface having an installing surface for installing a cutting tool; a screw hole which has an axial line penetrating from the upper surface to the lower surface; a peripheral side surface which is formed such that the upper surface and the lower surface are connected; a major cutting edge and an inner cutting edge which are formed in an intersecting region between the upper surface and the peripheral side surface, and an intersecting region between the lower surface and the peripheral side surface, respectively; and a constraining surface which is formed on the peripheral side surface so as to at least partially contact with a body. An angle of the major cutting edge and an angle of the constraining surface are different in a top view viewed from the upper surface, and the angle of the major cutting edge is smaller than the angle of the constraining surface.
