A roughening tool for roughening the cylindrical surface of a bore in a particular metallic workpiece, e.g. the piston running surface of a cylinder bore or cylinder liner in an internal combustion engine, by generating a defined microstructure of a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart circumferential microgrooves. The roughening tool has a tool main body which can be driven in rotation about an axis of rotation and a multiplicity of circumferentially cutting cutting tools arranged at a defined axial distance from one another on the tool main body. According to the invention, the cutting tools are each formed from a disc milling cutter and each disc milling cutter has at least one cutting element with a multiplicity of cutting teeth arranged at an axial distance from one another. In addition, a method for roughening a cylindrical surface.

A T-slot cutter (1) is a tool for cutting a T-groove in a workpiece, and includes a body (2A) and an insert portion (3). The insert portion (3) is fixed to a leading end portion of the body (2A) using screws (8). The insert portion (3) is configured by overlaying inserts (4) and (5). By changing a combination of the inserts configuring the insert portion (3), a groove width and an angular shape of the T-groove cut in the workpiece can be easily adjusted. On mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), convex portions and concave portions of the mating face of the insert (4) overlap with concave portions and convex portions of the mating face of the insert (5). As a result, the inserts (4, 5) partially overlap with each other in a thickness direction, and thus a protrusion length of the insert portion (3) can be shortened.

A method for working a wall of a cylinder of an internal combustion engine, in which peripheral grooves are machined into the wall, wherein at least one annular saw blade, which is provided on a circumference with a multiplicity of cutting teeth, is used for introducing the grooves, wherein the saw blade is moved so as to rotate about its longitudinal axis and on an annular path. A subsequent forming operation on the lands that are formed between neighboring grooves causes the formation of undercuts that can improve the connection of the wall of the cylinder to a subsequently applied coating layer.

The present invention discloses a vertically-mounted milling cutter insert and a multitooth milling cutter, wherein the vertically-mounted milling cutter insert comprises a insert base and a cutter tip unit, the insert base is set with a mounting hole for mounting the vertically-mounted milling cutter insert onto the milling cutter wheel, and the cutter tip unit is mounted on the insert base, and the cutter tip unit has a double-cutter tip structure. In the invention, the vertically-mounted milling cutter insert is positioned via the fitting between a bent-plane structure in the vertically-mounted milling cutter insert and a positioning structure in the milling cutter wheel, and the bent-plane structure will not be abraded in use. Because the bent-plane structure will not be abraded, reliable positioning may be guaranteed when two cutter tips are used.

A rotary cutting tool includes a tool holder and a tool body releasably attached thereto. The tool body has a cutting portion that includes a peripheral insert pocket, for retaining a cutting insert. The tool holder includes an adjustment arrangement that includes a biasing member, movably attached to the tool holder, having a biasing portion. The cutting portion is adjustable between a non-flexed position and a flexed position. In the flexed position, the cutting portion is elastically deformed in a forward direction due to biasing engagement with the biasing portion, thereby adjusting the axial position of the insert pocket and thus the cutting insert.

A method for manufacturing a fastening element including a step of producing a blank of the fastening element including a head and a shank connected to each other, followed by a step of forming an impression in the head, the forming step including an operation of machining the impression, carried out with a cutting member and an operation of matting a target surface of the impression carried out with a matting member.

A cutting insert and a gear milling cutter is disclosed. A first major side portion of an insert body of the cutting insert is provided with a first recess having a first bottom surface (24a) and a second major side portion is provided with a second recess having a second bottom surface. The first and second bottom surfaces extend substantially in parallel with a longitudinal axis of the insert body. A first minor side portion is provided with a third recess having a third bottom surface and a second minor side portion is provided with a fourth recess having a fourth bottom surface, the third and fourth bottom surfaces extending across the longitudinal axis. Thus, the cutting insert may be supported in a relevant gear milling cutter against one of the first and second bottom surfaces and against one of the third or fourth bottom surfaces.

The invention relates to an apparatus for processing cylinder walls of internal combustion engines (1), including a cutting element (4). The cutting element (4) is arranged on a rotary cutting ring (3). The cutting element (4) has a slit contour (5) with a plurality of cutting edges (6) arranged next to each other in a direction of an axis of rotation of the rotary cutting ring. And, the individual cutting edges (6) face in a direction of rotation of the rotary cutting ring.

A machining apparatus capable of performing chamfering with high precision is provided. A machining unit 13 is provided at a distal end portion 12a of an arm 12 of an articulated robot 11, and the machining unit 13 includes a profiling roller 57, which serves as a roller that abuts against a part to be profiled Wd of a workpiece W, and a rotatable tool 41 having an axis line 41a having a distance between the rotatable tool 41 and the profiling roller 57 in conformity with a width of the workpiece W (width of a band-like portion Wc) and extending in parallel with an axis line 57a corresponding to a support axis of the profiling roller 57, and the rotatable tool 41 includes cutting blades 41b or blade portions 73 and 73 as chamfering blades.

Connector inserts and other structures that have a high signal integrity and low insertion loss, are reliable, and are readily manufactured. One example may provide a connector insert formed primarily using a printed circuit board. Contacts on the connector insert may be akin to contacts on a printed circuit board and they may connect to traces having matched impedances on the printed circuit board in order to improve signal integrity and reduce insertion loss. The printed circuit board may be manufactured in a manner for increased reliability. Plating, solder block, and other manufacturing steps that are native to printed circuit board manufacturing may be employed to improve manufacturability. Specialized tools that may provide a chamfered edge on the connector inserts may be employed.
