A rotary cutting tool has an insert receiving pocket with a cutting insert removably secured therein and an adjustment recess rearward thereof having a radially outward facing recess side surface and an adjustment tongue spaced apart therefrom by a first inner passage. The adjustment tongue extends rearwardly from a tongue root to a tongue tip and includes a tongue through bore. The tongue root has a shoulder surface facing in the forward direction and the cutting insert is in contact with the shoulder surface. An adjustment screw extends through the tongue through bore and engages the recess side surface, and rotation of the adjustment screw causes axial displacement of the cutting insert in a forward direction. An imaginary straight line in the first inner passage intersects a recess rear end surface formed on a first body sub-portion of the cutting body which is integrally formed with the adjustment tongue.

A minor cutting edge has a first minor cutting edge and a second minor cutting edge that extends inward of the insert in a direction of an insert short side face axial line, as the second minor cutting edge extends from the first minor cutting edge in a direction of an insert major face axial line. A flank face of the second minor cutting edge is inclined outward of the insert in the direction of the insert short side face axial line, as the flank face extends from the second minor cutting edge in the direction of an insert long side face axial line, and is inclined outward of the insert in the direction of the insert short side face axial line, as the flank face extends from a major face adjacent to the flank face in the direction of the insert major face axial line.

A second distance is longer than a first distance and a value obtained by dividing the third distance by the fourth distance is more than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.8 when it is assumed that the first distance represents a distance between the cutting edge and the mounting surface in a direction perpendicular to the rake face, the second distance represents a distance between the mounting surface and a boundary portion between the rising portion and the flat portion in the direction perpendicular to the rake face, the third distance represents a distance between the boundary portion and a tip of the cutting edge in a direction parallel to the rake face, and the fourth distance represents a distance between the second discharging opening portion and the tip of the cutting edge in the direction parallel to the rake face.

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.

In one embodiment, a cutting tool includes an insert that includes a cutting edge at at least one part of a portion where two surfaces intersect. The cutting tool further includes a holder capable of rotating about a rotational axis. The holder includes a pocket including: a placement portion where the insert is positioned; and a cutout portion is adjacent to the placement portion and positioned further forward in a rotational direction than the placement portion. The holder further includes an inflow port that opens at at least one part of the holder, a first flow path positioned in the interior of the holder, and an outflow port positioned at the pocket. The cutout portion includes a recessed portion.

In an embodiment, a cutting insert includes a body member and a cutting member. The body member is a columnar body, and includes: an upper surface; a lower surface; and an outer side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface. The cutting member is located at a corner part of the outer side surface in the body member. The cutting member includes: at least three surfaces being exposed; and a cutting edge at an intersecting portion of two of the at least three surfaces. The body member includes a through hole penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface.

A cutting insert having two opposing end surfaces, two identical opposing major side surfaces and two identical opposing minor side surfaces. Each end surface has four corners with two lowered corners and two raised corners, the two lowered corners being diagonally opposite each other, the two raised corners being diagonally opposite each other. The cutting insert also includes a major cutting edge formed at an intersection of each major edge and the end surface. A first section of the major cutting edge proximate the raised corner constitutes a leading end of the major cutting edge, and a second section of the major cutting edge proximate the lowered corner constitutes a trailing end of the major cutting edge. An angled margin only partially extends along the leading end of the major cutting edge and segments the major cutting edge.

A cutting insert having two opposing end surfaces, two identical opposing major side surfaces and two identical opposing minor side surfaces. Each end surface of the insert has a concave-shaped seating surface for contacting the insert pocket the insert pocket along an entire length of the cutting insert. The minor side surfaces are convex-shaped. The concave-shaped seating surface and the convex-shaped minor side surfaces enable the cutting insert to be accurately tangentially mounted in the insert pocket.

A cutting insert includes a rake end surface having four corners and, in a center thereof, a central surface portion. A supporting end surface has four corners and, in a center thereof, a central supporting surface portion. A peripheral side surface extends between the rake end surface and the supporting end surface. The peripheral side surface includes two opposing major side surfaces. A hole extends through the cutting insert from one of the major side surfaces to the other of the major side surfaces, wherein the central surface portion is disposed at a greater distance from a central axis (A) of the hole than is the central supporting surface portion. The single-sided cutting insert has a corner radii or cutting edge radii that extend over at least a quarter of a width of the cutting insert.

An insert includes a first part and a second part. The first part includes a first surface, a second surface, and a plurality of side surfaces located between the first surface and the second surface. The second part includes a third surface, a fourth surface, and a first cutting edge. The third surface is located between the side surfaces and located from a side of the first surface to a side of the second surface. The fourth surface is located between the side surfaces and adjacent to the third surface. The first cutting edge is located along at least a part of a ridge line of the third surface and the fourth surface. The first cutting edge is inclined in a front view of the third surface, and the first cutting edge has a convex curvilinear shape in a front view of the fourth surface.
