A cutting disk for workpieces, particularly workpieces of fiber-reinforced composite materials, has a base body which is provided at least in some areas with a circumferential toothing and with a flank toothing arranged on at least some areas and on at least one lateral surface. At least with the majority of circumferential teeth, the main cutting edges do not directly encounter the main cutting edges of the adjacent flank teeth, and the main cutting edges accordingly do not define a common rake face.

Methods of making an insulator for a condition sensing spark plug and tooling that can be used to perform the various methods, the tooling and methods involving machining one or more channels in the insulator body. The machined channels can be used to accommodate one or more wires from a sensing, display, or processing device. In one particular example, the wires are thermocouple wires used to sense temperature in an internal combustion engine while the spark plug is in use. The methods and tooling may result in channels that are formed more precisely, economically, and efficiently.

A manufacturing method of a metal member includes performing first shaving on a first surface perpendicular to a thickness direction of a metal plate, in a first portion of the metal plate by moving a cutting edge in a direction along the first surface. In the metal plate, the thickness of the first portion is reduced to be smaller than the thickness of a second portion by the first shaving.

A method of forming a fracture start portion of a con rod for forming fracture start portions of a con rod at opposing positions in an inner peripheral surface of a large end of the con rod made of metal, includes a first step of forming a groove portion at a position corresponding to the fracture start portion by using a first insert tip with a large tip end and a second step of forming the fracture start portion, which has become a V-shaped groove, by machining a bottom portion of the groove portion smaller by using a second insert tip having a tip end smaller than the first insert tip.

A cutting tool for undercutting a bore in a component includes a shaft portion and at least one tangentially and axially cutting portion. The shaft portion extends in an axial direction relative to the component and has a maximum shaft radius. The cutting portion projects radially with respect to the shaft portion further than the maximum shaft radius. Each cutting portion includes a tangentially arranged lateral cutting edge configured to form a tangentially extending groove in the component. At least one cutting portion has a front cutting edge arranged axially at a front end thereof and configured to form an axially extending groove in the component.

The thread generating tool for producing a thread in a workpiece has the following features: a) the tool is rotatable about a tool axis (A), b) the tool has a number n1 of groove generating regions for generating in each case one groove in the workpiece and a number m1 of thread generating regions for generating the thread in the workpiece, c) each of the m thread generating regions is arranged behind one of the n groove generating regions as viewed in an axial projection parallel to the tool axis (A), and has a smaller extent than said groove generating region as viewed in cross section in the axial projection.

A device for keyway broaching is provided with a housing, a drive shaft, a broaching carriage received and supported in the housing, a tool support connected to the broaching carriage, and a crank drive that couples the drive shaft and the broaching carriage with each other. The broaching carriage, when driven by the drive shaft, performs an oscillating movement comprising a cutting movement and a return stroke. A sleeve is arranged between the housing and the broaching carriage. A first seal is provided between the housing and the sleeve and/or between the sleeve and the broaching carriage. The tool support is connected to the broaching carriage with a rocking lever interposed between the tool support and the broaching carriage. The drive shaft has a control section that controls a relative movement between the rocking lever and the broaching carriage.
