A method of manufacturing a metallic rotor of an eccentric screw pump, comprising clamping a workpiece extending along a central longitudinal axis in a workpiece clamping device and removing material from the workpiece by cutting with a cutting tool. The invention further comprises not producing the surface of the rotor in a three-axis whirling process, using the cutting tool to produce the outer surface geometry of the rotor, advancing the cutting tool along an axis of advance that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotor, and rotating the cutting tool about an axis of tool rotation that is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the rotor.

Holders are described herein providing secure clamping and/or positioning of cutting inserts. Briefly, a holder for a cutting insert comprises a base and a slot for receiving the cutting insert, wherein the slot forms an angle with the base ranging from 10 degrees to 60 degrees.

The present invention belongs to the technical field of milling machines, and mainly relates to a novel cutter holder and base system for a milling machine. The cutter holder and base system according to the present invention aims to solve the problems in the prior art that a cutter holder structure is unreasonable, the cutting force of a cutter cannot be well dispersed in the cutter holder and a base, so that the service lives of the cutter holder and the base are shortened. The base is provided with a hole-shaped inner area and two curved surface areas, where the two curved surface areas are disposed in a circumferential area of the hole-shaped inner area, the curved surface areas are arranged at an angle, and each curved surface area includes two curved surfaces. The cutter holder improves its own usage performance while a lighter weight is achieved.

A method of cutting (e.g. micro-milling) brittle materials where a protective ductile layer is present on the brittle material during the cutting step. The method offers an improved edge quality of the machined profile relative to previous cutting (e.g. micro-milling) techniques. A machined product obtained by or obtainable by this method is disclosed.

A method for processing a workpiece by using a diamond tool comprising nano-polycrystalline diamond or vapor-phase synthesized single crystal diamond, the nano-polycrystalline diamond comprising 10 ppm or more and 1000 ppm or less of nitrogen atoms, the vapor-phase synthesized single crystal diamond comprising 1 ppm or more and 100 ppm or less of nitrogen atoms, in processing the workpiece, the diamond tool having a temperature of 400 C. or lower at a contact point of the workpiece and the diamond tool, a spatial region within a distance of 3 cm from the contact point having an oxygen concentration of 20% or less.

In a method for marking on a surface of a work, kept is a state where an end of a rotating tool for marking is contacted with a surface of the work, and a rotation of the rotating tool is started at the same time when a relative movement of the work in an X-axis direction and/or in a Y-axis direction relative to the rotating tool is started. According to the above marking method, a width of a marked line can be made constant over its entire length.
