Provided are a tool body of a cutting tool for indexable inserts and a round milling insert that are configured not to cause floating or rattling when the round milling insert is mounted, by keeping the contact part between the round milling insert and the tool body at a predetermined part. The tool body includes a recessed portion provided so that only one of a plurality of protrusions is fitted thereto, the plurality of protrusions being formed in the round milling insert so as to protrude in the radial direction, wherein the recessed portion has both inner surfaces thereof formed of curved surfaces in such a manner that the distance therebetween gradually decreases toward a depth portion, at the contact area between the recessed portion and said protrusion fitted thereto out of the plurality of protrusions. The round milling insert mounted onto such tool body includes a plurality of protrusions formed so as to protrude in the radial direction, any of the plurality of protrusions being able to be fitted into a recessed portion provided on a mounting seat of the tool body, wherein each of the protrusions has both outer surfaces thereof formed of curved surfaces in such a manner that the distance therebetween gradually decreases toward a tip of the protrusion, at the contact area between the protrusion and the recessed portion into which the protrusion is fitted.

A tool body (12) for a shell end mill (10) is described with at least one helical chip guiding groove (24) arranged at the circumference of the tool body (12) for chip dissipation and at least two receptacles (28) for indexable cutting inserts (26) arranged at the chip guiding groove (24). In this case, the receptacles (28) each comprise a base surface having a bore for receiving an indexable cutting insert fastening screw (34) and at least one first abutment surface adjacent to the base surface. The transition between the base surface and the first contact surface is a groove. In addition, a cutting tool is described with such a tool body, wherein a two-sided indexable cutting insert (26) is attached in each receptacle (28).

The present invention relates to a tool (100) for machining workpieces (200), comprising a surface (110) which is at least partially covered by a PVD deposited wear-resistant coating (120), said wear resistant coating (120) comprising one or more wear-resistant layers (121, 122), the coating having a modulus of elasticity, E, which is in a range 300 GPa≤E<350 GPa, and further having a hardness, H, which is greater than 30 GPa.

A single-sided three-way indexable milling insert for feed milling operations, includes a positive basic shape, a rake surface, a peripheral surface including side abutment surfaces, a base bearing surface and a screw hole connecting the rake and base bearing surfaces. The insert has a cutting edge including exactly three main cutting sub-edges and three secondary cutting sub-edges. A material volume V.sub.F of the cutting insert and a void volume V.sub.S of the insert fulfill the condition V.sub.S/V.sub.F≥0.30.

The milling cutter according to the present invention consists of insert holders where these insert holders project from a carrier disc which is adapted for clamping onto the spindle of a machine tool, and the individual holders are connected with one another by braces. Arms are provided between the holders and the carrier disc.

A rotary cutting tool that implements a chip space in proportion to a feed-per-tooth is proposed. The rotary cutting tool includes a cutting part in which a plurality of cutting teeth and flutes are alternately formed, wherein a cross-section of the cutting part perpendicular to a central axis is divided into a plurality of cutting tooth spaces defining a section between cutting edges of adjacent cutting teeth on the basis of the central axis, such that all of the cutting tooth spaces are designed in different sizes, or some of the plurality of cutting tooth spaces are set in different sizes from the other cutting tooth spaces.

A hardware fastener with a movable threaded element suspended within a cavity formed in a body. The movable threaded element has an internal surface with threads for cooperating with a threaded fastener. The movable threaded element is suspended in the cavity by the one or more spring-like members such that an area, A, of reduced stiffness is created in the cavity proximate the movable threaded element, thereby allowing the movable threaded element to move a predetermined distance within the cavity when torque is applied to the threaded fastener. The one or more spring-like members store elastic potential energy to prevent the loss of pretension of the threaded fastener that can be caused by heat or vibration. The invention also eliminates the need for a torque wrench when tightening the threaded fastener to a specified torque value.

A coated tool has a substrate and a hard material coating deposited on the substrate. The hard material coating has a layer structure in the following order, starting from the substrate: a titanium nitride layer, a titanium boron nitride transition layer, and a titanium diboride layer. The titanium boron nitride transition layer has a boron content that increases from the titanium nitride layer in the direction of the titanium diboride layer. The boron content does not exceed 15 at %.

A tool body for a milling tool includes a front end and a rear end between which a center axis and a peripheral envelope surface extend. The tool body is arranged to be rotated in a direction of rotation around the center axis. At least one insert seat is configured to support a cutting insert. A chip pocket is provided in front of the insert seat in the direction of rotation, delimited by a wall surface. A surface pattern including a plurality of first grooves and second grooves is formed on at least a portion of the wall surface. The second grooves intersect the first grooves and each groove of the first grooves and/or each groove of the second grooves has a concave groove profile.
