Thermally stable diamond constructions comprise a diamond body having a plurality of bonded diamond crystals, a plurality of interstitial regions disposed among the crystals, and a substrate attached to the body. The body includes a working surface and a side surface extending away from the working surface to the substrate. The body comprises a first region adjacent the side surface that is substantially free of a catalyst material and that extends a partial depth into the diamond body. The first region can further extend to at least a portion of the working surface and a partial depth therefrom into the diamond body. The diamond body can be formed from natural diamond grains and/or a mixture of natural and synthetic diamond grains. A surface of the diamond body is treated to provide the first region, and before treatment is finished to an approximate final dimension.

A method for forming a stand-alone wafer or a coating on a substrate uses a composite of cubic boron nitride (cBN) particles and other materials, such as nitrides, carbides, carbonitrides, borides, oxides, and metallic phase materials. The wafer or coating may be formed of a thickness up to about 1000 microns for improved wear life. The density of material within the wafer or coating may be varied according to desired parameters, and a gradient of particle sizes for the cBN may be presented across the thickness of the material.

The present invention concerns a rotary cutting tool (1) with a cylindrical supporting spindle (2) and several individual blades (3) with essentially radial cutting edges, helically ground and set at regular intervals on the outer surface of the spindle, each blade (3) having a rectilinear base (4) which inserts into a slot (5) of the same shape as said base, each individual blade (3) being mechanically fixed to the spindle (2), characterized in that it also comprises two covers (8, 9) fixed to the respective bases (8, 9) of the spindle (2) so as to reinforce the fixing of the blades (3).

A cBN tool that exhibits: excellent chipping resistance and wear resistance; and excellent cutting performance, for a long term use even in intermittent cutting work on high hardened steel is provided. The cutting tool includes a cutting tool body that is a cubic boron nitride-based material containing cubic boron nitride particles as a hard phase component. In the cutting tool, the cubic boron nitride particles includes an Al.sub.2O.sub.3 layer with an average layer thickness of 1.0-10 nm on a surface of the cubic boron nitride particles, a rift with an average rift formation ratio of 0.02-0.20 being formed in the Al.sub.2O.sub.3 layer, and the cubic boron nitride-based sintered material includes a binding phase containing at least one selected from a group consisting of: titanium nitride; titanium carbide; titanium carbonitride; titanium boride; aluminum nitride; aluminum oxide; inevitable products; and mutual solid solution thereof, around the cubic boron nitride particles.

A cutting tool formed by a coating layer on a substrate has cutting edges that feature serrations. The linear dimensions of the serrations may vary from a few nanometers up to 10 microns. The serrations result in a smoother cut edge on the workpiece, particularly when the workpiece is formed of certain materials that are seen as particularly difficult to cut, such as hardened steels.

A machining tool that comprises a cutting part and a base that supports the cutting part. The base and/or the cutting part are made at least in part of a fiber-reinforced plastic. In some embodiments, the fiber-reinforced plastic is CFRP or CFC.

A milling tool for working non-metal materials, in particular wood, engineered wood, and plastic, includes a carrier body, a plurality of cutting elements, which can be inserted into said body on the periphery in a corresponding number of openings extending in the radial direction and can be screwed to the carrier body by way of a bore and which have a plate-shaped and in the cross-section a substantially triangular-shaped design and on a side edge are provided with a blade. The cutting element includes: the region located opposite of the blade is rounded, a groove extending substantially at a right angle to the blade is provided in the bottom, the bore divides the groove preferably into two regions. The opening includes: a web, which extends radially upward from the bottom of the opening serving as a support surface for the cutting element and which corresponds with the groove, a radial threaded bore, which preferably divides the web into two regions, and the cutting element has contact with the opening only with the bottom thereof, a side wall of the groove and part of the region located opposite of the blade.

A cutting tool for performing cutting operations on a workpiece when the cutting tool is rotated about a central axis by a machine tool, the cutting tool includes a generally cylindrical body disposed about the central axis. The generally cylindrical body includes a first end and an opposite second end. The cutting tool further includes a cutting portion and a mounting portion. The cutting portion is disposed at or about the first end of the generally cylindrical body and includes a number of cutting edges structured to engage the workpiece during cutting operations. The mounting portion is disposed at or about the opposite second end of the generally cylindrical body and is structured to be coupled to the machine tool. At least a portion of the generally cylindrical body comprises a molded portion formed via a molding process about the cutting portion in a manner that couples the cutting portion to the generally cylindrical body.

Provided is a replaceable machining head wherein: fractures on the tool attaching portion do not occur; the production cost is minimized; the tool life of the working tool will be lengthened; and the head body is free from a risk of falling off during replacement.
