A rotary cutting tool having a disk-shaped cutting body with a plurality of identical insert receiving pockets, and an equal number of indexable cutting inserts removably retained therein, having opposing upper and lower surfaces and opposing first and second insert end surfaces. First and second cutting edges are formed at the intersection of the upper surface and the first and second insert end surfaces, respectively. Circumferentially adjacent cutting inserts have a different one of their first and second insert end surfaces in contact with an insert receiving pocket back wall. First and second planes are equidistantly offset from opposite sides of the cutting body, the first plane only intersecting the first cutting edge of every circumferentially alternate cutting insert and none of the second cutting edges, and the second plane only intersecting the second cutting edge of every circumferentially alternate cutting insert and none of the first cutting edges.

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.

This disclosure relates to a metal-cutting machine tool with a base body, which is rotatable about an axis of rotation relative to a workpiece to be machined, at least one plate seat disposed outside the axis of rotation on the base body and a cutting insert, which is inserted into the plate seat and held therein by at least one fastening means and which is provided with a coating, at least in the area of its cutting edge. In order to compensate for positional tolerances, according to this disclosure the plate seat comprises a positioning surface oriented toward the axis of rotation, and the cutting insert has a reference surface lying against the positioning surface and facing away from the axis of rotation, for radially determining the position of its cutting edge, wherein the coating is also applied to the reference surface.

A stump cutter bit for use with a stump cutting apparatus of the type utilizing a cutting wheel or drum rotated about a rotational axis wherein the cutting tool is attached to the cutting wheel or drum. The cutting tool supports the stump cutter bit. The cutting bit having a front face including a plurality of surfaces including an outer surface, an inner surface, and in intermediate surface located between the outer and inner surface.

A milling tool has a support member with an exterior surface with at least one receptacle, wherein the at least one receptacle has a bottom. At least one cutting element provided with a cutter having a cutting edge is positioned in the at least one receptacle. A three-point support is arranged between the at least one cutting element and the bottom of the at least one receptacle for positioning the cutting edge relative to the bottom of the at least one receptacle. The three-point support comprises three support pads arranged at a bottom side of the at least one cutting element and/or three projections arranged at the bottom of the at least one receptacle.

A reaming tool includes a tool holder body and at least one one-piece indexable reaming insert. The reaming insert includes more than one cutting edge. The tool holder body has an insert clamp for clamping the reaming insert relative to the tool holder body. The cutting edge extends beyond a periphery of the tool holder body when the reaming insert is clamped relative to an abutment surface of the tool holder body. The reaming insert has a head and an integral mounting portion, the tool holder body having an opening in which the integral mounting portion of the cutting insert is disposed. A reaming insert for a tool is also disclosed.

An indexable cutting insert for milling of a root between two cogs of a cog wheel includes a top surface forming a chip surface, a bottom surface, a side surface forming a clearance surface, a first and a second curved cutting edge formed at an intersection between the top surface and the side surface for milling of the root between the two cogs. The bottom surface includes a first planar abutment section and a second planar abutment section. A first groove extends in the first abutment section and a second groove extends in the second abutment section, each along an axis parallel to a virtual line connecting the apexes of the first and second cutting edges. A first and a second stop section extend across the virtual line, wherein the first stop section protrudes above the first abutment section and the second stop section protrudes above the second abutment section.

A milling tool having multiple cutting disks is disclosed. Each cutting disk is anchored into a flute on the milling tool with clamping screws. During use, the cutting disks naturally become dull. In a preferred embodiment, a single clamping screw is used to hold the cutting disk in place. The clamping screw is loosened and the cutting disk is rotated such that a new and sharp portion of the cutting disk is exposed for use. In an alternative embodiment, multiple clamping screws are used to secure the cutting disk into the flute. In the event a cutting disk becomes stuck in a flute, a clamping screw in a threaded bore coaxially aligned with the locating bore is used to push the cutting disk and eject it out of the flute. This design allows for many positions on the cutting disk to be used before the disk needs to be replaced, sharpened, or refurbished.

An integral cutting tool configured for revolving about a central axis is provided. The cutting tool is formed with at least one cutting portion having a rake surface, a relief surface, and a cutting edge formed at the intersection between the rake surface and the relief surface. The cutting tool is further provided with a cooling fluid provision arrangement having at least one passage, and a cooling aperture formed at the relief surface. The cooling aperture is directed towards the cutting edge at an acute angle.

A cutting insert has a first (top) end surface, a second (bottom) end surface, a peripheral side surface connecting the top and bottom end surfaces, and a mounting hole having a central axis O which penetrates the top and bottom end surfaces. Cutting edges are formed on an intersecting edge between the first end surface and the peripheral side surface. The second end surface has an inclined part. When a virtual plane substantially perpendicular to the axis O and passing through any point of the cutting edges is defined, the inclined part is inclined so as to be more distant from the virtual plane, heading from the peripheral side surface to the axis O. A projected part projected in a direction along the axis O is formed in an area around the mounting hole in the inclined part. This reinforces the strength of the mounting hole.
