In an embodiment, a cutting tool includes a holder that is a columnar body and includes a pocket in which an insert disposed. The pocket includes a first surface in contact with the insert, a second surface, and a projecting portion. The second surface is disposed further forward in a rotational direction of a rotational axis than the first surface, and disposed on a radial inner side of the holder. The projecting portion is disposed closer to a radial outer circumferential side of the holder than the first surface and projects forward in the rotational direction of the rotational axis. The second surface is inclined and comes closer to an outer circumference of the holder as going forward in the rotational direction of the rotational axis, in a front view of a first end.

A damper assembly for use with a non-rotating tool holder includes a hollow ram for supporting a non-rotating tool and a damper assembly mounted in the hollow ram for absorbing vibrations of the ram. The damper assembly includes a front plate and a rear plate, an upper tie rod and a lower tie rod extending between the front plate and the rear plate, and a damper mass mounted between the front plate and the rear plate. Ring dampers are mounted between the damper mass and the front and rear plates, and suspension springs are mounted between the upper tie rod and the lower tie rod. The suspension springs carry the weight of the damper mass so that the ring dampers do not have to carry the weight of the damper mass, and the damper mass is free to respond to vibrations in the ram.

A machining tool for cutting a work component includes a cutting tool insert having a cutting surface along a portion of an external surface that defines a circumference of the cutting tool insert. A plurality of cartridges are insertable into the machining tool, each having an insert pocket for receiving the cutting tool insert. The cutting tool insert is rotatable between first, second and third fixed positions in each insert pocket of the plurality of cartridges, a first portion of the cutting surface exposed when the cutting tool insert is in the first fixed position, a second portion of the cutting surface exposed when the cutting tool insert is in the second fixed position, and a third portion of the cutting surface exposed when the cutting tool insert is in the third fixed position. The insert pocket of each of the plurality of cartridges is offset from each other.

A cutting tool according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a substrate and a diamond layer coating the substrate. A cutting tool according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a rake face, a flank contiguous to the rake face, and a cutting edge configured by a ridge formed by the rake face and the flank. The rake face has a first rake face and a second rake face located between the first rake face and the flank. The second rake face and a surface of the substrate located on the side of the rake face form a negative angle. The second rake face is formed at the diamond layer.

The present invention provides an arbor damping device, including a rod body, a damper, two flexible absorbers and at least one flexible damping adjusting member. The rod body has an internal chamber, and the internal chamber includes a circumferential wall and two end walls. The damper is received in the internal chamber. The damper includes a side surface opposite to the circumferential wall and two end surfaces respectively opposite to the two end walls. The two flexible absorbers are disposed between the two end walls and the two end surfaces respectively. The at least one flexible damping adjusting member is radially disposed between the circumferential wall and the side surface, and axially disposed between the end walls and the two flexible absorbers.

A cutting tool, a turning machine including the cutting tool, and an associated method are provided. The cutting tool includes a tool, a cutting head, a strain gauge, and an accelerometer. The cutting head is located at the tool bar and has a cutting edge. The strain gauge measures strain at the tool bar. The accelerometer measures acceleration at the tool bar or the cutting head. Deflection of the cutting edge is estimated based on output from the strain gauge and the accelerometer. In some embodiments, the accelerometer is arranged close to the cutting edge, while the strain gauge is arranged where the tool bar is susceptible to the largest strain. In some embodiments, low frequency vibrations of the cutting edge are estimated based on measured strain, high frequency vibrations are estimated based on measured acceleration, and medium frequency vibrations are estimated based on output from both sensor types.

A production method for a ring-shaped part is provided with: an inner cutting step for reciprocating a first cutting blade in the radial direction D4 from a state of contact with the center of the thickness of one end 91a of a rotating cylindrical blank 91 and moving toward the other end 91b in the axial direction D1 to form a semicircular track while cutting the inner circumferential R1-side of the cylindrical blank 91; an outer cutting step before, after or simultaneously with the inner cutting step for reciprocating a second cutting blade in the radial direction D4 from a state of contact with the center of the thickness of the one end 91a of the rotating cylindrical blank 91 and moving toward the other end 91b in the axial direction D1 to form a semicircular track while cutting the outer circumferential R2-side of the cylindrical blank 91; and a separation step after the inner cutting step and the outer cutting step for cutting the portion 92 of the cylindrical blank 91, the inner circumferential R1-side and the outer circumferential R2-side of which have been cut, from the remainder 93 of the cylindrical blank 91 to obtain a ring-shaped part 94 with a roughly circular cross-section.

A threading tool includes: a tool main body; and a cutting edge portion, which is provided on a tip portion of the tool main body and has a rake face and a flank face. The cutting edge portion includes: a primary cutting edge extending in a tooth width direction of the cutting edge portion; two corner edges, one and other of which are provided on one and other of both ends of the primary cutting edge, respectively, and are in a convex curve shape; and two secondary cutting edges, one and other of which extend from the one and the other of the two corner edges to a rear end side of the cutting edge portion, respectively. Two secondary cutting edges are shorter than the primary cutting edge. At least one of the two secondary edges is slanted to a direction intersecting the primary cutting edge in an obtuse angle.
