A tool holder for carrying a cutting insert wherein the cutting insert is useful for the removal of material during a material removal operation. The tool holder includes a tool holder body. The tool holder body includes a pocket adapted to carry the cutting insert, a coolant inlet in communication with a pressurized source of coolant, a coolant chamber having a central region, an upstream coolant passage having a central longitudinal upstream coolant passage axis, and a downstream coolant passage having a central longitudinal downstream coolant passage axis. The upstream coolant passage opens into the coolant chamber. The upstream coolant passage has an orientation relative to the coolant chamber so that the central longitudinal upstream coolant passage axis is offset from the central region of the coolant chamber whereby coolant flows into the coolant chamber in a tangential fashion.

Provided is a boring tool capable of suppressing wear of a cutting blade according to a shape of a bore to be formed in a workpiece. The tool includes a tool body to be attached to a spindle of a rotary machining tool, and a plurality of cartridges each attached to a leading end face of the tool body, having a cutting blade and being position-adjustable in a radial direction. The tool body has a coolant passage for transporting coolant along a rotational axis direction. A discharge hole for the coolant is comprised of a first discharge hole provided between the plurality of cartridges in a leading end face and a second discharge hole provided in an outer circumference of the tool body and directed toward the cutting edge of the cutting blade.

A tool (700, 800) is insertable into an interior space of a body part (400, 240) that is a part of a tool holder (300). The tool has at least one cutout part (730, 831) and may or may not have a tool passage (740), which has an opening (740b) at a tool rear end surface (710B). The cutout part includes a cutout surface (731) on a tool outer peripheral surface (712) and an opening (730b) at the tool rear end surface. By supplying a coolant from a flow inlet (450a) into the interior space of the body part, a movable member (500) is moved forwardly until a front end surface portion (530A) of the movable member sealingly abuts against the tool rear end surface, whereby coolant flows through the tool passage (if present) to a spray port near the tip of the tool.

A partial separation continuous high-speed ultrasonic vibration machining method is provided, which belongs to the technical field of machining. Through the method, partial separation continuous high-speed ultrasonic vibration machining further breaks through a limitation on a critical feed rate on the basis of breaking through a critical cutting speed in complete separation intermittent high-speed ultrasonic vibration machining, which can achieve dynamically variable cutting thicknesses through transverse vibration or transverse component vibration during continuous cutting of a cutting edge, so that wave ridge structures are formed on a chip bottom surface and a machined surface to cause completely new partial separation of wave ridge on a cutting interface, to facilitate entering of cutting liquid into a cutting area, and to reduce cutting force and cutting heat during machining. The method significantly improves the material removal rate and prolongs the tool life.

A cutting tool may include a base body, a tip, a sensor, and a cover. The base body may have a shank portion extending in a first direction, a fixation portion, and a recess opening at an outside surface of the shank portion. The tip may be fixed to the fixation portion and may have a cutting edge. The sensor may be positioned inside the recess. The cover may close the recess. Among peripheral surfaces of the shank portion, a first area may face one side in a second direction that is a direction orthogonal to the first direction, and the cutting edge may be positioned further toward the one side in the second direction from the first area. The entirety of the cover may be positioned further toward the other side in the second direction from the cutting edge.
