A cutting insert for a tool for machining a workpiece. The cutting insert comprises a rake face with a chip shaping geometry which is particularly suitable for machining titanium and titanium alloys. The chip shaping geometry is designed in such a way that the chip lifted from the workpiece is deformed comparatively strongly about its longitudinal axis. The chip shaping geometry is arranged at least in a rear area of the rake face, which is laterally bounded by a first concavely curved portion and a second concavely curved portion of the minor cutting edges of the cutting insert. The chip shaping geometry projects upwardly beyond a cutting plane in which the main cutting edge of the cutting insert and two rectilinear portions of the two minor cutting edges are arranged and comprises at least two elevations so that the rake face in the rear area in a further cross-section parallel to the main cutting edge comprises two high points and an intermediate second low point which has an equal third distance from the first concavely curved portion and the second concavely curved portion. A rake angle along the main cutting edge varies such that the rake angle γ1 at a center of the main cutting edge, which has an equal second distance from a first end and a second end of the main cutting edge, is greater than the rake angle in the area of the first and/or second ends.

A cutting insert may include a base and a cutting part. The cutting part may include an upper surface, a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge. The first cutting edge may be located on a first ridgeline. The second cutting edge may be located on a second ridgeline. The upper surface may include a first inclined surface, protrusions and a first upheaved part. The first inclined surface may be located along the first ridgeline. The protrusions may be located side by side in a direction along the first ridgeline on the first inclined surface. The first upheaved part may be located at a side further away from the first ridgeline than the pair of protrusions. The second cutting edge may be inclined downward. An upper end of the first upheaved part may be located above the second cutting edge.

A turning insert includes a top surface, an opposite bottom surface, and a reference plane located parallel to and between the top and the bottom surfaces. A nose portion includes a convex nose cutting edge, and a first and a second cutting edge. The nose cutting edge connects the first and second cutting edges. The first and second cutting edges form a nose angle of 71-85° relative to each other. The nose portion has a third convex cutting edge adjacent to the first cutting edge and a fourth cutting edge adjacent to the third convex cutting edge. The fourth cutting edge forms an angle of 10-30° relative to a bisector. The distance from at least a portion of the fourth cutting edge to the reference plane increases at an increasing distance from the nose cutting edge. A second protrusion is arranged between the nose cutting edge and the first protrusion.

A cutting insert based on a non-limiting aspect has a first member and a second member joined to the first member. The second member has an upper surface and a side surface adjacent to the upper surface. The upper surface includes a first side, a second side and a corner. The upper surface has a first convex portion extending toward the corner, and a second convex portion extending from the first convex portion toward the first side. The second convex portion has a first end portion and a second end portion located closer to the corner than the first end portion. A first length from the first end to the first side is less than a second length from the second end portion to the first side in a top view.

A cutting insert has a cutting portion corner formed at the intersection of a rake surface, a forward cutting portion surface and a relief surface. A cutting edge is formed at an intersection of the rake surface and the relief surface with a land that is located on the rake surface and that extends along, and negatively away from, the cutting edge. A chip-control arrangement is located at the rake surface and includes an elongated projection and plurality of spaced apart elongated protuberances that extend from the projection to the cutting edge, so that the land has a plurality of spaced apart bulging land portions. A non-rotary cutting tool has an insert holder having an insert pocket and the cutting insert releasably retained therein.

A turning tool includes a tool body and a turning insert, and an insert seat in which the turning insert is mounted. The insert seat includes a bottom surface and a side surface, the side surface having a first surface and a second surface. The first surface includes a contact surface, wherein the contact surface is in contact with a portion of the side surface of the turning insert. The tool body includes a coolant channel, which extends between a coolant channel inlet and a coolant channel outlet opening into a void between the side surface of the turning insert and the first surface of the side surface of the insert seat.

A cutting insert has a top surface, a seating surface, and an outer peripheral surface. The cutting edge includes a corner cutting edge portion, a first cutting edge portion, and a second cutting edge portion. The top surface includes a first rake face, a second rake face, a third rake face, a front side surface, an upper surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface. A ridgeline between the first side surface and the second side surface is continuous to the upper surface. When seen in a direction perpendicular to the seating surface, a width of a boundary between the front side surface and the third rake face is larger than a width of a boundary between the front side surface and the upper surface.

An indexable drill insert (10) includes a top surface (12), a bottom surface (14), and a plurality of side surfaces (16) adjoining the top surface (12) and the bottom surface (14). A plurality of cutting edges (20) is formed by an intersection of a respective side surface (16) with the top surface (12). One aspect of the invention is that the top surface (12) includes a protruding portion (50) having a backwall (50a) and a segmented portion (52) extending radially outwardly with respect to the protruding portion (50) for effective chip breaking. Another aspect of the invention is that a rake surface (48) has a positive rake angle (RA) that varies along a first cutting edge section (22) of the cutting edge (20) to lower cutting force.

It is intended to allow a wide range including a low region (fine finishing) to a middle region (medium cutting) to be covered with a single insert. A cutting insert includes an upper surface, a lower surface, a peripheral side surface, a cutting edge including a main cutting edge and a corner cutting edge, a corner portion, a projecting portion formed to extend from the corner portion toward a central axis and including a first projection and a second projection, a rake portion, and an inclined portion provided at the cutting edge. The inclined portion has a first inclined portion beginning at an intermediate point in the corner cutting edge, while the rake portion has a shape in which an angular degree of a rake angle gradually increases with distance from the corner portion.

A cutting insert may include a first surface, a second surface and a third surface. The first surface may include a corner having a convex curvilinear shape and an inclined surface. The inclined surface may include a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface and a third inclined surface. The first inclined surface may be inclined at a first angle. The second inclined surface may be inclined at a second angle. The third inclined surface may be inclined at a third angle. The first inclined surface may have a concave curvilinear shape in a cross section orthogonal to a bisector of the corner. The second inclined surface may be a flat surface. The second angle may be smaller than either of the first angle and the third angle in a cross section which includes the bisector and is orthogonal to the reference plane.
