In an aspect, a rotating tool includes a main body having a rod shape and extending along a rotation axis. The main body includes a first end, a second end, a twisted cutting edge located at a side of the first end, a twisted flute, a reverse twisted cutting edge located closer to the second end than the twisted cutting edge, and a reverse twisted flute. The reverse twisted flute is connected to the twisted flute. The twisted cutting edge includes a first part having a length from the rotation axis decreasing as approaching toward the second end.

Novel endmills are provided. Such endmills have a body with outside diameter (OD), and outer surface, and a longitudinal axis, a plurality of flutes, helical in some embodiments. Flutes include a narrow leading edge land portion with circular segment profile and having flute cutting edge portions along a substantially uniform circumferential location, with an eccentric relief margin rotationally rearward of the narrow leading edge land portions. Face portions are provided with face cutting edge portions, and with a first dish portion adjacent each of the cutting edge portions sloping inwardly and downwardly generally toward a central longitudinal axis at a first dish angle alpha (α). Corner blend portions extend from flute cutting edge portions to the face cutting edge portions. Corner blend portions are provided in a variety of profiles, including an embodiment wherein the profile of the corner blend portions are truncated before the segment of curvature becomes tangential to the face cutting edge portions. In various embodiments, one or more coolant passageways are provided, and in an embodiment, an exit port for coolant is provided at the center of rotation of the end face portion.

A milling tool comprising a cylindrical shaft part, which has a central axis and which is followed by a cylindrical cutting part comprising at least three circumferential cutting edges, which run helically and which are separated from one another by chip grooves. The circumferential cutting edges continue via cutting edge corner regions in end cutting edges, which run essentially radially and which subsequently slope away from the milling cutter face towards the central axis from radially outer end cutting edge sections, in each case with a cutting edge section, which is formed by ground-in end pockets. The cutting edge section slopes continuously all the way to the central axis. In the region of the milling cutter core, it is formed by a point thinning, which is introduced into the end pocket and by means of which a center cutting edge is created. Also, a method for producing the milling tool.

Disclosed is a helical milling tool with forward-backward feeding, the tool including a cutting portion, a neck portion and a handle portion, which are successively connected to each other; wherein the cutting portion includes a front-end cutting section, a circumferential cutting section and a back-end cutting section, which are connected successively to each other; the front-end cutting section is of an end milling cutter structure or a drill bit structure; the circumferential cutting section is of a cylindrical shape and is of a circumferential milling cutter structure; and the back-end cutting section is of a frustum-shaped. The tool can avoid defects such as layering and tearing, which go beyond processing requirements in a composite material, improve the processing quality, save on costs, simplify the processing process, improve the production efficiency and prolong the service life of the tool.

A replaceable milling head rotatable in a cutting direction about a longitudinal central axis, the central axis defining a forward direction and an opposite rearward direction, has a forward cutting portion and a rear threaded coupling portion for coupling to a shank. The cutting portion includes two or more key actuating portions which assist in mounting the milling head onto the shank. The cutting portion includes a plurality of helical chip flutes alternating with cutting edges. At least one or more of the cutting edges and flutes extend axially rearward of at least a portion of the key actuating portions.

A milling tool having an operating area that is rotatable about an operating axis of rotation for milling a workpiece. The operating area has at least one milling edge extending transversely to the circumferential direction (U) of an operating axis of rotation. At least one of the at least one milling edge includes at least one milling edge portion in which a milling edge profile (P), which is defined by the radial distance (F) between the milling edge and the operating axis of rotation along the milling edge, has a non linear progression. The milling edge in the milling edge portion has a chip space, which extends radially inward toward the operating axis of rotation in relation to the milling edge. The chip space has a chip space base that follows the milling edge profile (P) at least in portions in the milling edge portion with the non-linear milling edge profile (P).

A rotary tool can be adapted for removing material from a workpiece such as a lower receiver. A rotary tool can have an adapter with a major diameter, and a cutter head with a minor diameter. The major diameter of the adapter can reduce deflection and chatter, while the minor diameter of the cutter head can be used to manufacture lower receivers with accuracy. The rotary tool can be adapted to be engaged with a rotary power tool.

A rotary cutting tool according to the present disclosure is rotatable about an axial line and includes a rake face and a flank face. The flank face is contiguous to the rake face. A ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face constitutes a cutting edge. In a cross section perpendicular to the axial line, the rake face is constituted of a plurality of straight line portions.

A cutting tool includes a grip part and a cutting part. In the grip part and the cutting part, a channel for guiding fluid supplied from the outside to an outflow port is formed. The channel includes: a first channel extending in parallel to a rotational center axis and linearly from an end part of the grip part on an opposite side to the cutting part; and a second channel extending linearly from the first channel toward a cutting edge of a cutting insert. The first channel is formed such that a center axis thereof is decentered so as not to match the rotational center axis.

The present invention provides an end mill including: a shaft-shaped end mill main body; a chip discharge groove extending from a leading end to a trailing end in an axial direction of the end mill main body; a bottom blade which is provided at a leading end portion in the axial direction of the end mill main body and has a spherical shape in which a rotation locus around the axis has a center on the axis; and an outer peripheral blade which is provided along the chip discharge groove, and in which a rotation locus around the axis is convex outward. A curvature radius of the rotation locus of the outer peripheral blade is larger than a curvature radius of the rotation locus of the bottom blade. A twist angle of the outer peripheral blade is 20° or more.
