A lightweight cutting tool, such as a reamer, includes a front cutting body, a front cutting ring, a center tube, a rear cutting ring and a rear machine connection member. An arm assembly of the front and rear cutting heads includes one or more leading arms, one or more trailing arms and a cutting head supported by the leading and trailing arms. The leading arms and the trailing arms curve in opposite directions. To reduce weight and moment of inertia of the reamer, a cross-sectional area of the leading arms and the trailing arms is largest proximate the sleeve member and is smallest proximate the cutting head. In addition, the front cutting body, the front and rear cutting rings and the center tube may be made by additive manufacturing. Fluid can be transported entirely through the reamer to the cutting insert/workpiece interface and the guide pad/workpiece interface.

A multi-component gear cutting tool that is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The gear cutting tool includes a tool body extending axially lengthwise between a first end and a second end with the tool body being made of a first material. The gear cutting tool further includes a cutting tip attached to the tool body at one of the first end and the second end. The cutting tip includes an outer axial-facing cutting end with the cutting end having a plurality of cutting faces. The cutting tip is made of a second material different than the first material and the cutting tip is attached to the tool body via brazing.

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).

One-piece reamer cutting discs including integral engagement and cutting portions are disclosed. The engagement portion may allow for torque transmission and alignment of the reamer cutting disc on a reamer tool body. The integral engagement portion and cutting portion allows for the cutting portion to be provided closer to the end of the tool body. The one-piece reamer cutting discs may be mounted on a tool body having coolant outlets that direct coolant from the tool body to the exterior surface of the cutting disc.

A reamer head for a reamer includes one or more blades separated by flutes. Each flute has a front core region proximate a front end of the cutting portion, a rear portion proximate a rear end of the cutting portion and the middle core region therebetween. The front core region has a thickness, T1, the middle core region has a thickness, T2, and the rear core region has a thickness, T3. The thickness, T2, of the middle core region is greater than the thickness, T1, of the front core region and the thickness, T3, of the rear core region. A method of making the reamer head is also disclosed.

A cutting tool according to an aspect of the present disclosure includes a shank, a joint, and a cutting portion attached through the joint to the shank. The cutting portion includes a core and a surface portion. The surface portion is disposed around a central axis of the cutting portion to cover an outer circumferential surface of the core. The surface portion includes a cutting edge. The cutting edge is disposed on an outer circumferential surface of the surface portion and formed in a helical shape about the central axis. The surface portion is a composite sintered material including a hard phase formed of a plurality of diamond particles and a plurality of cubic boron nitride particles, and a binder phase forming the remainder.

A multi-component gear cutting tool that is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The gear cutting tool comprises a tool body extending axially lengthwise between a first end and a second end with the tool body comprising a first material. The gear cutting tool further comprises a cutting tip attached to the tool body at one of the first end and the second end. The cutting tip comprises an outer axial-facing cutting end with the cutting end having a plurality of cutting faces. The cutting tip comprises a second material different than the first material and the cutting tip is attached to the tool body via brazing.

According to one implementation, a hole finishing tool includes a reaming cutter and a holder. The reaming cutter has a first detaching structure. The first flow path for ejecting cutting oil is formed inside the reaming cutter. The holder has a second detaching structure. The second detaching structure is detached from and attached to the first detaching structure. The second flow path for supplying the cutting oil to the first flow path is formed inside the holder. The holder has a shank. The shank is held by a tool rotating device. The holder has a sliding portion. The sliding portion has no back taper. The sliding portion is inserted into a positioning bush and slid inside the positioning bush. The sliding portion has a concave portion for storing lubrication oil.

A reamer has a shank made of steel and a cutting body made of a harder material, wherein the cutting body forms the outer circumference of the reamer in the region of the workpiece side end and has all the cutting ribs.

The invention relates to a rotary tool (1; 101; 201) for cutting large inside diameters at the outer circumference (2) of which at least one cutting edge (4) is arranged, comprising a support structure (10; 110; 210) which indirectly or directly supports the at least one cutting edge (4), and comprising a chucking portion (24) for coupling to a tool holder, wherein the support structure (10; 110; 210) widens in an umbrella-type manner starting from a coupling portion (11) adjacent to the chucking portion (24) and is radially stiffened by a stiffening structure (12).
