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.

The present invention relates to a tool (10) for machining a workpiece, comprising a cutting head (12) which comprises a sleeve (16) and a cutting element (18) which is fixed to the sleeve (16), and comprising a holder (14) to which the cutting head (12) can be detachably fixed. In an assembled state of the tool (10), the cutting head (12) and holder (14) are screwed to each other via an internal thread (40) which is arranged in the sleeve (16) and an external thread (42) which corresponds thereto and which is arranged on the holder (14). In addition, in the assembled state of the tool (10), the cutting head (12) and holder (14) contact each other along a first axial bearing surface (36) which is arranged on the sleeve (16) and a second axial bearing surface (38) which corresponds thereto and which is arranged on the holder (14), and along a first conical bearing surface (44) which is arranged on the sleeve (16) and a second conical bearing surface (46) which corresponds thereto and which is arranged on the holder (14).

An object of the present invention is to provide a cutting tool that requires the smaller number of parts and can be manufactured at a lower cost. A cutting tool includes: a tool body extending along a central axis and rotatable around the central axis; a cutting insert to be mounted on an insert mounting seat of the tool body; and at least one flow passage provided inside the tool body, the at least one flow passage extending from a back end side toward a front end side of the tool body so as to supply a coolant toward at least a part of the inside of the tool body, a back end side of the at least one flow passage being open at a portion sealed by the tool body and the holding member when the holding member is coupled.

A rotary cutting tool includes a replaceable cutting head and a tool holder. The replaceable cutting head includes a forward cutting portion and a rearward mounting portion. The mounting portion includes a male coupling member that includes a back-tapered conical external thread. The tool holder includes a female coupling member that includes an internal thread. When the rotary cutting tool is in a locked position, the external thread is threadingly engaged with the internal thread.

A device (1) for exchanging at least one cutting component (2a) of a rotating tool (2), in particular a milling tool (2), and more particularly, a hollow milling tool for machining workpieces made of plastic. The device has an aligning device (5) for orientating a position of the cutting component (2a) relative to a rotational axis (2c) of the tool (2) and an exchanging device (6) for releasing the cutting component (2a) from a part (2b) that remains on the tool (2) and for attaching another cutting component (2a) to the part (2b) that remains on the tool (2).

In an end mill body made of ceramic, a corner R rake face is formed in such a manner as to contain a point B and at least a region B, not a region A located on a side toward an end cutting edge. In other words, a first end portion of a cutting edge on a peripheral edge portion of the corner R rake face is formed on a peripheral edge of the region B of a corner R cutting edge, and a second end portion of the cutting edge reaches at least the point B. As a result, partial breakage of the corner R cutting edge is unlikely to occur in the course of cutting. That is, since the corner R rake face is formed in such a manner as to start from the first end portion located apart from a point A, which is the intersection of the end cutting edge and the corner R cutting edge, and such that the second end portion reaches the point B, a large cutting load is unlikely to be imposed on the starting point of the corner R rake face. Therefore, the corner R cutting edge is unlikely to be chipped.

A T-shaped tool is configured by fastening a head having cutting blades to a cylindrical shank, the shank is made of cemented carbide and has a tapered male thread formed at a tip end portion thereof, the tapered male thread becomes smaller in diameter toward the tip end, and the head is made of steel and has a tapered female thread formed therein, and the tapered female thread comes into engagement with the tapered male thread.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis, a cutting surface having a distal end and a blade positioned at the distal end, and a mounting interface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface. The mounting interface has an apex extending along the mounting interface parallel to the longitudinal axis, a mounting surface extending from the apex, another mounting surface extending from the apex, and an opening. A channel extends from the opening of the mounting interface into the tool body.
