A cutting tool to cut a hollow vessel includes a conical member, a plurality of grooves, and a plurality of cutting members. The plurality of grooves are disposed in a semi-helix around an outer conical surface of the conical member. Each of the plurality of cutting members is disposed in fixed position within one of the plurality of grooves at a non-zero angle relative to a vertical axis.

A piston has a piston crown and a top land extending circumferentially around the piston crown, as well as a combustion bowl and at least one valve pocket machined therein. The valve pocket has a side wall and a bottom, and wherein the side wall extends at an angle of between 110 and 120 from the bottom. A method for forming such valve pockets in the piston crown includes machining the valve pockets with a rotating cutter having an inverted frustoconical shape such that an angle between a bottom of the cutter and a side wall of the cutter amounts to between 110 and 120.

A deburring tool includes a shank attached at a first end to a chuck and a working portion at a second end of the shank. The working portion includes a first end portion closest to and joining the second end of the shank at a first end of the first end portion, a second end portion furthest from the shank, and an intermediate portion disposed between the first end portion and the second end portion, a first end of the intermediate portion joining a second end of the first end portion and a second end of the intermediate portion joining a first end of the second end portion. The intermediate portion tapers continuously from a largest diameter at the first end of the intermediate portion to a smallest diameter at the second end of the intermediate portion, and deburring cutter members provided on the second end portion adjacent the second end of the intermediate portion.

A method for machining long edges of metal workpieces (2), wherein during the machining of the workpiece (2), all the cutting edges (z) are put into engagement with the machining surface (B) over an effective length (l) and having a cutting depth (t), and the removal of the chips is effected in each case over a length which is equivalent to the tooth spacing (a.sub.s) between the adjacent teeth simultaneously with their motion along the effective length (l).

A guide 2 for a burr cutter 34, the guide 2 comprising: a body portion 4 having first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b which are spaced from one another to define a slot 14 between the first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b; a bearing 32a, 32b for rotatably mounting the body portion 4 to a shank 38 of the burr cutter 34 with a cutting head 36 of the burr cutter 34 adjacent the slot 14; wherein the first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b and the bearing 32a, 32b are positioned relative to one another such that the first and second guide surfaces 12a, 12b are tangential to the cutting head 36 of the burr cutter 34.

In an example, a method for milling a sink is disclosed. The method includes receiving a metal sheet, positioning the metal sheet in a receiving assembly for a milling machine, and scoring the metal sheet via a cutter of the milling machine. The metal sheet is scored along an axis corresponding to a bend of the sink. The method also includes manipulating the metal sheet to form the sink.

The holder for a head replacement-type cutting tool is provided with a holder main body and a tubular coupling member 3 which is housed in an attachment hole formed on the holder main body and made of a metal material lower in hardness than the holder main body. A recessed part is formed on an inner circumferential face of the attachment hole, the coupling member is engaged with the recessed part by firmly attaching the outer circumferential face thereof on the inner circumferential face of the attachment hole, and the coupling member is provided with an attachment screw part which is screwed into a head-side screw part formed at the replacement-type cutting head.

An end milling cutter for heat-resistant superalloys (HRSA) has a shank and a cutting head, which have a common rotation axis, the shank having a connection section for connection to the cutting head and a coupling section for connection to a tool holder, the cutting head consisting of a solid ceramic part, which has a rotationally symmetrical envelope and is butt-joined to an end face of the connection section. In order to keep excessive vibrations and thus stresses low in the interface between the cutting head and the connection section of the milling cutter and to create milling cutters that can also cover the diameter range above 12 mm and in particular above 20 mm and up to 32 mm, the coupling section has a conical peg having an external thread.

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 straight external thread. The tool holder includes a female coupling member that includes a conical internal thread. When the rotary cutting tool is in a locked position, the external thread is threadingly engaged with the internal thread.

A one-piece cutting tool has a shank portion with a mounting end and a cutting end. The cutting end has a body portion and a substantially hemispherical portion. The cutting end further comprises a plurality of flutes, each flute helically extending adjacent to one another about the cutting end along a length from the body portion to the hemispherical portion. Each flute has a cutting edge divided into a first cutting edge section and a second cutting edge section, the first cutting edge section extending along the body portion and being substantially straight-edged or serrated, and the second cutting edge section extending along the hemispherical portion and being serrated along at least a part of the hemispherical portion. A cutting tool assembly is also provided.
