A cutting tool may include a circular columnar body extending from a first end to a second end along a rotation axis. At least a part of the columnar body may correspond to an insert including a cutting edge at the first end. The insert may include therein a flow path extending from a side of the first end toward a side of the second end. A width of the flow path along a radial direction of the circular columnar body may be smaller than a width of the flow path along a circumferential direction of the circular columnar body in a cross section orthogonal to the rotation axis.

One-piece reamer cutting discs including integral engagement and cutting portions are disclosed. The engagement portion may allow for torque transmission and alignment of the reamer cutting disc on a reamer tool body. The integral engagement portion and cutting portion allows for the cutting portion to be provided closer to the end of the tool body. The one-piece reamer cutting discs may be mounted on a tool body having coolant outlets that direct coolant from the tool body to the exterior surface of the cutting disc.

A reamer head for a reamer includes one or more blades separated by flutes. Each flute has a front core region proximate a front end of the cutting portion, a rear portion proximate a rear end of the cutting portion and the middle core region therebetween. The front core region has a thickness, T1, the middle core region has a thickness, T2, and the rear core region has a thickness, T3. The thickness, T2, of the middle core region is greater than the thickness, T1, of the front core region and the thickness, T3, of the rear core region. A method of making the reamer head is also disclosed.

A multi-edge reamer has a cutting region having a main body with a central axis. A first number of first cutters and a second number of second cutters extend from the main body. Each first cutter has a cutting edge and an adjoining circular grinding chamfer which forms a guide region for a corresponding first cutter and has a first width. Each second cutter has a cutting edge and an adjoining circular grinding chamfer which forms a guide region for a corresponding second cutter and has a second width. The first width is greater than the second width, the first number of first cutters is greater than the second number of second cutters, and all of the first cutters directly adjoin one another when seen in the circumferential direction so as to be arranged in a continuous group.

Provided is a coated cutting tool that has a nitride hard coating that contains Ti at 70 at % to 95 at % and Si at 5 at % to 30 at % with respect to the total amount of metallic elements, and Ar at 0.05 at % to 0.20 at % with respect to the total amount of metallic and non-metallic elements, has a NaCl-type crystalline structure, exhibits maximum diffraction peak intensity in the (200) plane, and has an average grain size of 5 nm to 30 nm. When 100 at % is defined as the total of content rates of the metallic elements, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon in a composition at intervals of 20 nm from a depth of 20 nm to 200 nm from a surface of the hard coating, the content rate of nitrogen is 50.0 at % or more.

A hard coating film of a coated cutting tool contains Al within a range of 70 at % to 80 at % and Ti within a range of 20 at % to 30 at % with respect to a total amount of metallic (including metalloid) elements, and contains Ar of 0.50 at % or less with respect to a total amount of the metallic elements (including metalloid) and nonmetallic elements. The film has a diffraction peak due to each of a TiN (111) plane, a TiN (200) plane, and a TiN (220) plane of an fcc structure and an AlN (100) plane and an AlN (002) plane of a hcp structure, in which the diffraction peak of the TiN (200) plane indicates a maximum intensity and an intensity of the diffraction peak due to the TiN (111) plane is next thereafter. The average crystal grain size is within a range of 5 nm to 50 nm.

A surface-coated cutting tool has a rake face and a flank face, and includes a base material and a coating formed on the base material. The base material has a cutting edge face connecting the rake face to the flank face. The coating includes an aluminum oxide layer containing a plurality of aluminum oxide crystal grains.
