[Problem] A cutting tool to which a cutting insert can be firmly fixed is provided. [Means for Resolution] Provided is a cutting tool where a replaceable cutting insert having a hole for fixing is mountable. The cutting tool includes a main body portion, a lever, a pin, and a screw. The main body portion has a placement surface where the cutting insert is placed, a side wall coming into contact with at least one side surface of the cutting insert, a lever accommodating hole, a pin accommodating hole, and a screw accommodating hole. The screw presses a rear end portion of the pin by being tightened. A tip portion of the pin presses the lever by the rear end portion being pressed against the screw. The lever has a concave surface configured by a line segment parallel to a reference axis and, by the concave surface being pressed against the tip portion of the pin, a head protruding into the hole of the placed cutting insert presses an inner wall of the hole and presses and fixes the cutting insert against and to the placement surface and the side wall.

A modular drill including a shank having a shank bore therein, a guide pin tip disposed in the shank bore, a cutting tip, and a connection shaft coupled to the cutting tip, the connection shaft having a connection shaft sidewall and a guide path therein for guiding the guide pin tip therethrough while the connection shaft moves through the shank bore.

A cutting insert capable of performing front-turning and high feed back-turning according to one embodiment includes: an upper surface; a lower surface opposite to the upper surface in a vertical direction; a side portion configured to connect the upper surface and the lower surface; a mounting hole extending through the upper surface and the lower surface; and a plurality of cutting edges formed at edges where the upper surface meets the side portion, wherein the upper surface has one or more cutting corners, the plurality of cutting edges include a major cutting edge and a minor cutting edge extending from the cutting corner, and a representative inclination of the minor cutting edge used for high feed back-turning is greater than a representative inclination of the major cutting edge used for front-turning with respect to a virtual reference plane perpendicular to the vertical direction.

In a cutting tool having an indexable lay-down cutting insert with a central body portion and three circumferentially spaced apart cutting portions, the cutting insert is removably secured to an elongated holding portion of an insert holder. Each cutting portion has a cutting edge with first and second cutting end points, the cutting edge formed at the intersection of an upward facing rake surface and a radially outward facing relief surface. In a top view of the cutting insert, parallel imaginary first and second vertical planes containing the first and second cutting end points, intersect the central body portion at first and second body side points, which are located first and second cutting distances from the first and second cutting end points, respectively. Each of the first and second cutting distances is greater than twenty-five percent of the first radius of an imaginary first circle circumscribing the cutting insert.

A whirling tool configured to machine a workpiece. The whirling tool includes a plurality of cutting inserts, a cutting insert carrier, and a coolant channel which is arranged in the cutting insert carrier. The cutting insert carrier includes a plurality of cutting insert receptacles for receiving and releasably fastening respectively one of the cutting inserts. The cutting insert receptacles are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction over the cutting insert carrier. The cutting insert carrier further includes a through-opening which extends along a central axis of the cutting insert carrier, and through which the workpiece can be passed during the machining. The cutting inserts protrude into the through-opening, and the coolant channel extends between an inlet opening and an outlet opening, wherein the outlet opening leads into the through-opening and/or is oriented towards the through-opening.

A cutting insert in a non-limiting aspect of the present disclosure may include an upper surface, a lower surface, a lateral surface and a cutting edge. The upper surface may include a first corner and a first side. The upper surface may further include a rake surface, a bottom surface and a raised surface. The bottom surface may include a first bottom surface and a second bottom surface. The first bottom surface may be located on a bisector of the first corner. The second bottom surface may be located inwardly of the first side. The first bottom surface may be an inclined surface located closer to the lower surface as going away from the first corner. The second bottom surface may be an inclined surface located further away from the lower surface as going away from the first side.

Embodiments of a cutting insert are provided. The cutting insert includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a plurality of side surfaces extending between the upper surface and the lower surface, an insert hole extending through the upper surface and the lower surface, and a corner portion provided with a cutting edge. At least one of the upper surface and the lower surface has a plurality of recesses extending between the insert hole and the corner portion. The plurality of recesses includes a first recess into which one portion of the mounting portion is inserted when the cutting insert is supported by the mounting portion, and a second recess into which another portion of the mounting portion is inserted when the cutting insert is supported by the mounting portion. The second recess has a side wall spaced apart from another portion of the mounting portion.

Tool system (1) comprising a tool holder (2) that includes an insert seat (17) for accommodating an insert (6) having a depression (7), further comprising a clamping element (4) that has an opening (26) for accommodating a clamping means (15), and a projection (5), and comprising a mechanism (functional dimension (Fx) that limits the linear mobility of the clamping element (4). This ensures that a disposable insert (6) can be repeatedly securely clamped.

The invention relates to a cutting tool comprising a main part which extends along a longitudinal center axis or rotational axis, at least one cutting insert holder mounted on the main part such that it can be radially adjusted, and an adjusting device for adjusting the position of the cutting insert holder relative to the main part. The adjusting device comprises a threaded sleeve which is non-rotatably but axially movably mounted in the main part and a screw drive driving the threaded sleeve.

Provided is a cutting insert that can suppress damage of a corner cutting edge. The cutting insert has an approximately polygonal shape, and is constituted of a main cutting edge and a corner cutting edge connected to the main cutting edge. The cutting insert includes: a first side face portion that is connected to the main cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and is formed such that height thereof increases gradually in a direction of approaching the corner cutting edge; and a second side face portion that is connected to the corner cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and has height that is greater than the first side face portion.
