A processed article is manufactured with a tool including a cutting blade. The cutting blade is arranged to be in contact with two machined segment surfaces so that two contact points are defined between the two machined segment surfaces and the cutting blade in a corner. A machining pitch is set in a pick feed direction of the tool at the corner to a first machining pitch for when a part of the cutting blade corresponding to a projected shape of a side surface of the cutting blade having a first curvature radius is a cutting point. A cut is performed along a feed direction in the two adjacent machined segment surfaces successively at the corner so that the tool proceeds toward the corner in one of the machined segment surfaces and away from the corner in the other one of the machined segment surfaces.

An end mill includes a major-diameter shank, a cone-shaped connector portion disposed at the end of the shank, a minor-diameter body disposed by way of the connector portion coaxially therewith, a toothed element disposed at the leading end of the body, an installation recess dented slightly in the toothed element, and a cutting edge held in the installation recess so as to swell in the shape of an arc to protrude from an outer peripheral face of the body.

Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

A method for milling a workpiece by way of at least one substantially polygonal cutting insert, which is arranged in a tool holder. A spindle axis of the tool holder encloses an angle of more than 0 with a plane normal to a machined workpiece surface. An effective lead angle between a main cutting edge of the cutting insert and the machined workpiece surface lies between 0 and 20.

A method for forming dimples on a workpiece includes providing a rotary cutting tool. The rotary cutting tool includes a cutting edge that protrudes in a leading direction parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool. The cutting edge extends from a position at the leading end of the rod-shaped main body that is radially offset from the longitudinal axis. The rotary cutting tool is set such that the longitudinal axis of the rotary cutting tool is inclined relative to a line perpendicular to the processing surface of the workpiece. The rotary cutting tool is moved along the processing surface while the rotary cutting tool is rotated about the axis. The processing surface is cut by the cutting edge to form the dimples, which are spaced apart from each other on the processing surface.

A milling method includes moving a milling tool having at least two axially spaced apart sets of cutting inserts to an axial position within a bore in a material and rotating the milling tool about a longitudinal axis. The method further includes initiating contact between the milling tool and a wall of the bore in a region of the wall having a least amount of material at the axial position. The method further includes moving the milling tool around a perimeter of the bore.

An element with an insertion groove and a dismantling groove. A method for providing a dismantling groove in an element for a product to be assembled by a plurality of elements locked by a locking arrangement including a flexible tongue. The method includes providing an insertion groove and a dismantling groove in the same element. The dismantling groove extends along the element between a first side and a second side and is configured for receiving the flexible tongue of the locking arrangement for locking the element to another element having a tongue groove. The dismantling groove is provided in the element such that it extends from the first side to the insertion groove and along a portion of the insertion groove, and is configured to receive a dismantling tool for dismantling the element from the other element.

A milling device having a first milling station with a first workpiece spindle capable of rotating about a first spindle axis A1 intended to receive a first lens blank and with a first milling tool with first cutters capable of rotating about a first milling axis FA1 intended for machining a received first lens blank. At least one second milling station with a second workpiece spindle capable of rotating about a second spindle axis A2 receives a second lens blank, and with a second milling tool with second cutters capable of rotating about a second milling axis FA2 machining the received second lens blank, the spindle axes A1, A2 being aligned parallel to one another, the milling axes FA1, FA2 being aligned parallel to one another, and obliquely aligned to the spindle axes A1, A2. The invention also includes a method for the operation of the milling device.

A method is provided for the material-removing machining of fillets on a workpiece by means of a tool, more particularly a milling tool, which is guided over a fillet at a contact point. The invention is characterized in that the fillet is machined by means of a tool comprising a conical-convex cutting edge on a flank of the tool, wherein the tool, with the contact point on the conical-convex cutting edge, moves along at least one contact path running in the longitudinal direction of the fillet and the tool is inclined sideways in relation to the at least one contact path on the fillet such that a substantially sickle-shaped material engagement is formed in front of the contact point in the movement direction of the tool.
