In a drill, a negative land is provided on a rake face, and a ridge line at an intersecting position of the negative land and a flank face, a ridge line at an intersecting position of the flank face and a margin, and a ridge line at an intersecting position of the negative land and the margin are convex faces in a longitudinal rectangular cross section. When a curvature radius of the convex face of a first ridge line at the intersecting position of the flank face and the negative land is 1, at curvature radius of the convex face of a second ridge line at the intersecting position of the flank face and the margin is 0.8 to 1.5 times the curvature radius of the first ridge line, and a curvature radius of the convex face of a fourth ridge line at the intersecting position of the negative land and the margin is 1.5 to 3.0 times the curvature radius of the first ridge line.

A coated cutting tool comprising a substrate and a coating layer formed on a surface of the substrate, the coating layer comprising a first laminate structure and a second laminate structure, wherein: the first laminate structure has a laminate structure in which predetermined compound layers of two kinds, each having a different composition, are laminated in an alternating manner; the first laminate structure satisfies a predetermined condition; the second laminate structure has a laminate structure in which a first compound layer comprising a predetermined oxide and/or oxynitride and a second compound layer having a predetermined composition are laminated in an alternating manner; and an average thickness of each compound layer which constitutes the first laminate structure, an average thickness of each compound layer which constitutes the second laminate structure, and a thickness of the coating layer in its entirety each fall within a predetermined range.

The present invention relates to a multi-material rotary cutting tool (1) and a method for manufacturing such a tool that includes at least one continuous or substantially continuous cutting edge (8, 9) made of at least two different successive materials. The extremity or top (10) of the tool is a point off-centered in relation to the axis of rotation (5) of the tool.

A drilling system and methods provide stability and cutting performance to produce holes having desired straightness and other characteristics. The system may include a cutting head provided with a central cutting system and first and second side cutting inserts. The tool provides a major diameter with the OD cutting margins on the replaceable side inserts, as well as possibly cutting margins on the center cutting member. Adjustment mechanisms may be provided to adjust the center cutting member and/side cutting inserts.

One example of the present disclosure relates to a coupon. The coupon includes a first surface with a first circular channel and a second surface opposite and parallel to the first surface. The second surface is spaced a distance D0 from the first surface and includes a second circular channel concentric with the first circular channel. The coupon also includes a toroidal portion between the first circular channel and the second circular channel. The toroidal portion includes a rectangular sectional portion.

A drill includes a drill body rotatable about a drill axis, and a cutting portion. The cutting portion includes a first grinding face having first and second chisel edges defining an angle therebetween, and a second grinding face having third and fourth chisel edges defining an angle therebetween, the second grinding face being point-symmetrical with the first grinding face. A first relief face associated with a first cutting edge extends from the first and fourth chisel edges and a second relief face associated with a second cutting edge extends from the second and third chisel edges. A first intersection line is formed where the first and second relief faces meet; a second intersection line is formed where the third and fourth relief faces meet. The first and second intersection lines are spaced apart from an imaginary center line passing through the rotational axis and the first and third relief faces.

The present disclosure relates to cutting tools and cutting inserts in general, and more particularly to the specific shapes of cutting edges on cutting tools and cutting inserts. In an embodiment, a cutting tool with a cutting edge formed as a sinusoidal curve is provided. In an embodiment, a rotary drill bit including a cutting insert comprising a sinusoidal curve is provided.

This HEMS (200) is provided with a control unit (230) that, if an operation directive does not go through a server (600) provided externally to a customer's home (10), identifies said operation directive as having come from within the customer's home, and if the operation directive does go through the server (600) provided externally to the customer's home (10), identifies the operation directive as having come from outside the customer's home.

A drill has a thinning rake face formed in the front end. An intersection ridgeline between the thinning rake face and the tip flank face is the thinning edge. On the opposite side of the rotation direction, the first and second thinning wall surfaces (6b, 6c) and are formed. Viewed from the front, an intersection angle between the thinning edge (4a) and the first thinning ridgeline is larger than 95. The second thinning ridgeline (L2) is bent to the opposite side of the rotation direction. The thinning edge and the first thinning ridgeline are connected via a concave curve line. The first and second thinning wall surfaces are connected via a concave surface, and a curvature radius of the concave curve line is smaller than a curvature radius of the concave surface.
