A modular rotary cutting tool includes a cutting head for insertion into a support. The cutting head has a coupling pin having torque surfaces and clamping surfaces formed on its outer peripheral surface. The coupling pin is divided into a front pin part and a rear pin part. The front pin part is defined by a circumferential groove. Stop surfaces for an axial pullout prevention are formed between the front pin part and the rear pin part. The torque surfaces and the clamping surfaces are arranged in different pin parts. For example, the clamping surfaces are preferably formed on the front pin part and the torque surfaces are preferably formed on the rear pin part. The clamping surfaces taper radially inward in a direction of the front cutting part at an angle of inclination, 2, with respect to the axis of rotation. Other variants and embodiments are broadly contemplated herein.

A cutting tool and method of manufacturing a tool including determining desired flowrates to cutting edges. The method includes calculating pressure drop and passage dimensions for each of an nth-number of passages to the cutting edges based on I.sub.n=(P.sub.n*A.sub.n.sup.n)/(.sub.n*L.sub.n), wherein I.sub.n is nth-passage flow rate, P.sub.n is nth-passage pressure drop, A.sub.n.sup.n is nth-passage cross-sectional area raised to a power n, the power n being equal to 1 or 0.5, .sub.n is nth-passage resistivity, and L.sub.n is nth-passage length. The method includes forming the nth-passages in the tool open to each cutting edge based on the nth-passage dimensions.

A cutting insert includes a main body including a first face, a second face, and a third face. The second face includes a rake face. Among the outer-peripheral sides of the second face, the boundary portion with the first face is a main cutting edge. When viewed from the side where the first face is disposed, the main cutting edge includes a first straight portion, a second straight portion, and a curved portion. The first straight portion is located adjacent to a reference side. The second straight portion is arranged at a distance from the first straight portion. The curved portion connects the first straight portion and the second straight portion. A first intersection angle of the first straight portion with respect to the reference side is different from a second intersection angle of the second straight portion with respect to the reference side.

The technical objective of the present invention is to provide a double-sided cutting insert having a high feed rate, which can increase the edge strength and reduce the cutting load, and thus can be suitable for high feed rate processing. To this end, a double-sided cutting insert having a high feed rate according to the present invention comprises: two main surfaces that face in opposite directions; two shorter side surfaces, which connect between the two main surfaces, and which face in opposite directions; two longer side surfaces, which connect between the two main surfaces and between the two shorter side surfaces, which face in opposite directions, and the width of which is larger than that of the shorter side surfaces; and a fastening hole that extends through the two longer side surfaces such that a cutting tool fastening bolt is inserted therein, wherein the double-sided cutting insert having a high feed rate comprises a shorter cutting edge provided on a boundary portion between each of the main surfaces and each of the shorter side surfaces, a longer cutting edge provided on a boundary portion between each of the main surfaces and each of the longer side surfaces, and a corner cutting edge that connects between the shorter cutting edge and the longer cutting edge, and the shorter cutting edge has a curved shape that is outwardly convex, when the same is viewed from a direction of the main surfaces.

Cutting tool systems including a tool holder and tangential cutting inserts are disclosed. The tangential cutting inserts have indexable cutting edges that may be sinusoidal-shaped and helical-shaped. The tangential cutting inserts have integrated fan and base portions. The tool holders comprise a plurality of insert pockets structured and arranged to receive the indexable tangential cutting inserts. The cutting tool systems provide cutting tools with effectively longer sinusoidal and helical cutting edges at their cutting rake faces and a strong support when seating in insert-receiving pockets on the tool holder.

In a cutting insert according to an embodiment of the present invention, an upper surface sequentially includes a first rake surface and a second rake surface. The first rake surface being inclined toward the lower surface as going inward from the cutting edge at a first rake angle on a basis of a perpendicular plane perpendicular to a central axis extending between the upper surface and a lower surface. The second rake surface is located more inward than the first rake surface and is inclined toward the lower surface at a second rake angle different from the first rake angle on the basis of the perpendicular plane. An intersecting part of the first rake surface and the second rake surface includes a protruded part located at a highest position in a region of the intersecting part along the second side surface. A cutting tool with the cutting insert, and a method of producing a machined product by using the cutting tool are also provided.

A skiving tool comprising a cutter head (2) having a plurality of cutter blade mounting and positioning slots (8) arranged spaced, preferably equidistant, about the periphery (7) of the cutter head with the blade slots, and hence the cutting blades (4), preferably oriented perpendicular to the axis of rotation (A) of the cutter head. Alternatively, the blade slots may be inclined from the perpendicular orientation by less than 50 degrees, preferably less than 20 degrees, thereby forming a conical shaped cutter. Additionally, the blade slots may be positioned to extend radially from the cutter head axis whereby the longitudinal axis of a cutter blade will intersect the cutter head axis, or the blade slots may be radially offset from the cutter head axis. The blade slots may have any cross-sectional shape such as square, rectangular or those types having generally V-shaped seating surfaces (10) comprising a pair of angled mounting surfaces (12, 14) each less than 90 degrees. In contrast to known cutting blade configurations, the cutting blade (4) of the present invention has its cutting face (16) formed in a surface of the cutting blade that is located opposite to the seating surface or V-shaped seating surfaces (13, 15) of the cutting blade.
