Abstract
A throw-away insert for low-depth-of-cut finish cutting can be used over a wide range of feed rates. A breaker groove is provided between the center land and each cutting edge. An arcuate small protrusion is formed on the bisector of each nose portion. A narrow groove is formed in the small protrusion. Thin chips, which are produced while the feed rate is low, are curled and broken by the groove formed in the protrusion. Thick chips, which are produced while the feed rate is high, are guided along the grooves and collide with an edge of a side wall of the center land. Thus, thick chips are also smoothly curled and broken by the edge.
