A device for mechanically removing material from a workpiece or bulk feedstock, thereby creating chips of removed material while producing a new surface on the workpiece or bulk feedstock. The device comprises a body and at least one round cutting insert that is tangentially mounted on the body. Location and orientation of the insert is characterized by a reference plane offset and an insert axis angle. The insert has an outwardly-facing rake surface on which chips are formed. A planar flank surface is oriented relative to a cutting motion so as to provide clearance between the cutting insert and the surface created by removal of a layer that is converted into chips. A circular cutting edge lies at the intersection of the flank and rake surfaces.

In a circular cutting insert of the present invention, the upper side surface and the lower side surface each include: a plurality of planar restraining faces which are disposed sequentially in a circumferential direction of the upper side surface and the lower side surface so as to interpose a joint portion between each of the planar restraining faces and each have a side disposed on the side surface-intermediate line (N); and a plurality of antivibration restraining faces which are each disposed between two planar restraining faces adjacent through the joint portion and each include an inclined face, and the restraining faces of the lower side surface are disposed so as to be shifted with respect to the restraining faces of the upper side surface by a predetermined angle () around a central axis of a screw insertion hole.

A cutting insert (20) for a milling cutter (10) is described, wherein the cutting insert (20) comprises a first main surface (22) for abutment against a stop surface (24) oriented substantially perpendicular to the direction of rotation of the milling cutter (10), a second main surface (26) which is opposite to the first main surface (22), which comprises the cutting surface, and a lateral surface (28) which connects the first main surface (22) with the second main surface (26) and which comprises the free surface. The lateral surface (28) has at least one clamping section (38) by which the cutting insert (20) is clamped in a recess (18) in a tool body (12) by means of a clamping element (40), in particular wherein the cutting insert (20) is a turning cutting insert. Furthermore, a milling cutter (10) is described.

Provided are a cutting insert and a tool holder on which the cutting insert is provided. The cutting insert includes a circular upper surface, a circular lower surface, a cylindrical lateral surface for connecting the upper surface and the lower surface, an upper cutting edge formed between the upper surface and the lateral surface, a lower cutting edge formed between the lower surface and the lateral surface, and a plurality of rotation-preventing parts provided at the lateral surface so as to prevent the cutting insert from rotating with respect to the tool holder. Each rotation preventing part includes an inner curved surface recessed toward the center of the lateral surface and convexly rounded so as to form concentric circles in conjunction with the lateral surface, and a stepped rotation-preventing surface parallel to the axial direction of the insert and connecting the inner curved surface and the lateral surface.

A cutting insert, a cutting tool and method of manufacturing a machined product. The cutting insert includes: upper and lower surfaces; a side surface; a cutting edge; and a rake portion on the upper surface. The cutting edge includes major and minor cutting edges that are convex toward outside of the main body portion. The minor cutting edge has a curvature radius smaller than a curvature radius of the major cutting edge. The rake portion is inclined and approaches the lower surface as moving from the major cutting edge toward inside of the main body portion and is located along the major cutting edge. An inclination angle of the rake portion becomes smaller as moving from a part continuous with one end of the major cutting edge toward a part continuous with center of the major cutting edge.

A cutting insert including first cutting edges and second cutting edges respectively formed in a first end surface and a second end surface which are opposed to each other; at least one groove formed in a peripheral side surface which connects the first end surface and the second end surface; and, while one end of the groove reaches the first end surface, another end thereof reaches the second end surface, and an opening width in the first end surface is different from an opening width in the second end surface.

A tool body for a milling tool includes a front and rear end, an envelope surface extending between the front and rear ends, a central recess extending configured to receive coolant from a machine spindle, at least one insert seat for a cutting insert, and at least one coolant passageway for passage of coolant from the central recess to the exterior of the tool body. The coolant passageway has a first portion extending from the central recess towards the envelope surface, and a second portion extending from the first portion to an outlet in the tool body exterior. The second portion of the coolant passageway is directed towards the insert seat such that, when a cutting insert having a flank face is mounted in the insert seat and the flank face faces outward, coolant from the outlet passes along the flank face towards the cutting edge of the insert.

A cutting tool includes a cutting insert having an anti-rotation stopping indent formed in a transition between a bottom surface and a side surface thereof and includes a first stop surface. The insert seat has at least one anti-rotation stop, which protrudes with respect to a side wall of the insert seat and includes a second stop surface. The anti-rotation stop is arranged to inhibit rotation of the cutting insert in the insert seat by contact between the first and second stop surfaces. The second stop surface is completely located within the anti-rotation stopping indent when the cutting insert is mounted. As seen in a section perpendicular to a common central axis, an angle of less than 180? is formed between a tangent to the second stop surface and a tangent to the first duct at a transition between the two.

A cutting insert for a rotary cutting tool has a second surface that includes a second seating surface having a shape of a flat surface. The first cutting edge has a first main cutting edge portion and a first sub cutting edge portion. The second cutting edge has a second main cutting edge portion and a second sub cutting edge portion. When viewed in a direction from the first surface toward the second surface, at least a portion of the second sub cutting edge portion is located outside the first main cutting edge portion, and at least a portion of the first sub cutting edge portion is located outside the second main cutting edge portion. When viewed in the direction from the first surface toward the second surface, each of the first sub cutting edge portion and the second sub cutting edge portion has a shape of a curved line.

A cutting insert (1) has a first end surface (2); a second end surface (3) opposing the first end surface; and a peripheral side surface (4) connecting the first and second end surfaces. A cutting edge (6) extends along an intersecting edge between the first end surface and the peripheral side surface. A land (20) is formed in the first end surface and extends along the cutting edge. At least one groove (18) is formed in the peripheral side surface, each groove forming an opening in the first end surface and separating the cutting edge into a plurality of portions. In a plan view of the first end surface, a portion of the land adjacent to an end area (S) of the groove, has a greater width than a width of a portion of the land which is distant from the groove.
