A cutting insert (10) for a tool (100) for machining a workpiece. The cutting insert (10) is a four-bladed cutting insert which is in the form substantially of a rhomboid. The cutting insert (10) has two identical, oppositely arranged base sides (14a, 14b) and four identical main sides (16a-16d) which extend between the two base sides (14a, 14b). Each of the four main sides (16a-16d) comprises a rectilinear main cutting edge (12a-12d) and a rectilinear secondary cutting edge (26a-26d) which is arranged transversely thereto. The main and secondary cutting edges (12a-12d) and (26a-26d) of each main side (16a-16d) lie in each case in a common cutting plane which is aligned parallel to a contact surface (28a-28d) which is also provided on the main sides (16a-16d).

Manufacturing hard-metal pressed articles includes providing a multi-part die comprising a plurality of lateral mold parts defining lateral surfaces of a cavity for the article. At least one of the plurality of lateral mold parts defines a portion of an upper side of the cavity. The lateral mold parts and at least two lateral punch parts are fed. At least two of the plurality of lateral mold parts are provided with a guide recess for one of the at least two lateral punch parts. A filling unit feeds an opening of the cavity which is filled with a hard-metal powder. At least one upper mold part is fed, which defines a portion of the upper side of the cavity. The lateral mold parts and the upper mold part are held to form the cavity. The powder is compressed with at least two lateral punch parts and the part demolded.

Cutting tool systems including a cutting tool holder and cutting inserts are disclosed. The cutting inserts have eight cutting edges and eight wiper edges. The first and second faces each include at least two cutting edges or two wiper edges on alternating sides of the cutting insert. The cutting edges and wiper edges are structured and arranged to allow the cutting insert to be interchangeably used in both right handed and left handed cutting tool holders.

A tangential cutting insert includes two opposing main surfaces having a triangular shape, three identical side surfaces extending between the main surfaces, and at least three identical and indexable major cutting edges formed at the intersection of at least one of the main surfaces and the three identical side surfaces. Each side surface includes three flat support surfaces recessed in relation to the major cutting edge and arranged one after another in a longitudinal direction of each side surface. A first flat support surface is disposed centrally in each side surface and forms the lowermost recessed support surface in relation to the major cutting edge. Second and third flat support surfaces are located on opposite sides of the first flat support surface and extend at an obtuse angle with the first flat support surface. A milling tool having a plurality of insert seats receiving the tangential cutting insert is provided.

A cutting tool of the present disclosure may include a holder including a pocket, a shim member, a first screw and an insert. The shim member may include a first hole that opens into an outer side surface and an inner side surface. The pocket may include a second hole corresponding to the first hole. The first screw may be inserted into the first hole and the second hole. A first central axis of the first hole may be located ahead of a second central axis of the second hole in a rotation direction.

The present disclosure's technical object is to provide a high feed cutting insert capable of providing a sufficient entering angle while ensuring rigidity of a cutting tool's bottom part. For this, the high feed cutting insert of the present disclosure comprises a short cutting edge provided on a boundary portion between a main surface and a short side surface, a long cutting edge provided on a boundary portion between the main surface and a long side surface, two ascending corner cutting edges connecting the short cutting edge and the long cutting edge, and placed on one diagonal position, and two descending corner cutting edges placed on the other diagonal position and having the height lower than that of the ascending corner cutting edges, wherein the short cutting edge and the long cutting edge, when viewed towards the main surface, form an obtuse angle while the ascending corner cutting edges are interposed therebetween and form an acute angle while the descending corner cutting edges are interposed therebetween.

The technical problem to be solved by the present disclosure is to provide a single-sided high feed cutting insert which can have increased edge strength and reduced cutting load so as to be suitable for high feed machining. To this end, the single-sided high feed cutting insert of the present disclosure comprises: a short cutting edge disposed between a major surface and a short lateral surface; a long cutting edge disposed between the major surface and a long lateral surface; and a corner cutting edge disposed between the short cutting edge and the long cutting edge, wherein the short cutting edge has an outwardly convex curved shape when viewed from the major surface, and a minor surface has a straight shape when viewed from the short and long lateral surfaces, respectively.

A double-sided tangential milling cutting insert for corner milling, contains: a first end surface, an opposed second end surface, two main side surfaces, two secondary side surfaces, and a through-hole penetrating the two main side surfaces. The first and second end surfaces each have two diagonally opposed raised corners and two diagonally opposed lowered corners. The cutting insert has a first symmetry plane and a reference plane dividing the cutting insert into two halves. First to fourth cutting edge sections each having a main cutting edge, a raised corner and a wiper edge are formed at intersections of the first and second end surfaces with the main side surfaces and secondary side surfaces. A transitional edge portion, connecting the wiper edge to an adjacent lowered corner, is formed along the secondary side surface.

A face milling tool includes a tool body having an axial front end surface with several seats. Each seat has support surfaces for rotationally locking and supporting a tangential cutting insert in the seat. One of the support surfaces is a flat axial support surface for supporting the tangential cutting insert in an axial direction defined by the central rotation axis. The flat axial support surface extends perpendicular to the central rotation axis and is situated axially foremost in the seat. A side wall of each seat is formed out of round side support surfaces. Each tangential cutting insert includes an axial back side with a flat axial contact surface abutting the flat axial support surface and a projecting member extending axially from the flat axial contact surface and having a circumferential side surface forming out of round side contact surfaces abutting the out of round side support surfaces.

A rotatable bit cartridge that can be inserted and removed from permanently mounted cutter bodies, bit holders, and/or picks and are used until replacement of the cutter body, bit holder, and/or pick is required. The rotatable bit cartridge may include a forward end with a brazed diamond coated, layered, and/or diamond table bit tip insert or a brazed tungsten carbide bit tip insert. The rotatable bit includes a body that includes a generally cylindrical and/or a tapered first bore extending axially inwardly from a forward end of the body and a bit tip insert comprising a tip and a base subjacent the tip, a portion of the base adjacent a distal end of the bit tip insert disposed within the first bore of the body.
