Provided is a cutting insert having two cutting parts that is capable of entering a workpiece more deeply and easily supports machining of a groove or hole having a small diameter in a workpiece. A cutting insert includes: a body having at least an inner surface to be fixed to a tool body of a cutting tool and an outer surface opposed to the inner surface; and two cutting parts protruding in opposite directions in a longitudinal direction of the body. The cutting part includes: a cutting upper surface; a cutting front surface; and a first cutting side surface and a second cutting side surface. A front cutting edge is located on an edge between the cutting upper surface and the cutting front surface. In a projection view of the body as seen from the longitudinal direction, the cutting upper surfaces of the two cutting parts are oriented in directions opposed to each other, and front cutting edges of the two cutting parts are disposed so as to be more away from each other as being closer to the first cutting side surface from the second cutting side surface.

A turning insert includes a top surface, an opposite bottom surface, a reference plane located parallel to and between the top surface and the bottom surface, and a center axis extending perpendicular to the reference plane and intersecting the reference plane (RP), the top surface and the bottom surface. Side surfaces connect the top surface and the bottom surface. Three nose portions are formed symmetrically relative to the center axis. Each nose portion includes a first cutting edge, a second cutting edge and a convex nose cutting edge connecting the first) and second cutting edges. In a top view the first and second cutting edges on the same nose portion form a nose angle of 25-50° relative to each other. The distance from the first cutting edge to the reference plane varies in such a way that that this distance is decreasing at increasing distance from the nose cutting edge.

There is provided a cutting insert used for both drilling and turning. The cutting insert includes an insert main body having a front surface and a rear surface, the outline shapes of which are parallelogram shapes, peripheral side surfaces disposed on four sides of the insert main body, cutting edges provided on respective intersecting ridge lines between the front surface and the peripheral side surface and between the rear surface and the peripheral side surface of the insert main body, and a hole provided in the insert main body to incline with respect to the front surface and the rear surface, the hole being usable for attachment.

There is provided a machining assembly and cutting insert for machining metal or like workpieces, wherein the cutting insert body has a cutting end. The cutting end comprises at least one cutting edge and at least one cutting lip formed adjacent the at least one cutting edge. The at least one cutting lip includes at least one cutting protrusion and associated chip cutting edge to split the chip formed by the at least one cutting edge, for producing chips during machining which are of a width that is sufficiently reduced to allow proper evacuation or removal.

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.

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.
