A milling tool has a shank and a milling portion arranged along a longitudinal axis of the milling tool. The milling portion has at least one peripheral blade and a flute that adjoins a cutting edge of the peripheral blade. A radial spacing between the cutting edge and the longitudinal axis is selected on the basis of a specified compensation rotational speed such that a shell surface formed by the rotating cutting edge is circular cylindrical in the case of a rotation of the milling tool at the compensation rotational speed. The radial spacing of the cutting edge increases continuously or decreases continuously as the distance from the shank increases.

A rotary cutting tool. The tool has a body with outside diameter (OD), and outer surface, and a longitudinal axis, a plurality of flutes, helical in some embodiments. Flutes include a narrow leading edge land portion with circular segment profile and having flute cutting edge portions along a substantially uniform circumferential location, with an eccentric relief margin rotationally rearward of the narrow leading edge land portions. Face portions are provided with face cutting edge portions, and with a first dish portion adjacent each of the cutting edge portions sloping inwardly and downwardly generally toward a central longitudinal axis at a first dish angle alpha () Corner blend portions extend from flute cutting edge portions to the face cutting edge portions. Corner blend portions are provided in a variety of profiles, including an embodiment wherein the profile of the corner blend portions are truncated before the segment of curvature becomes tangential to the face cutting edge portions. Large core diameters of cutting tools are provided, which gives high strength at when working with axial depths of cut of about three times outside tool diameter or less.

A tool for machining a stacked material workpiece includes a tool body having one or more helical flutes extending to a forward end of the tool body. Each helical flute has a width defined by a first cutting edge and a second edge, a surface of the flute adjacent the first cutting edge facing the forward end of the tool body and a surface of the flute adjacent the second edge facing away from the forward end of the tool body. Each helical flute can include a first portion having a first negative pitch angle and a second portion having a second negative pitch angle different from the first negative pitch angle, the first portion extending from the forward end of the tool body to the second portion. The tool has only negative pitch angles. A method for machining a stacked material is also disclosed.

A rotating tool includes a tool body which rotates around an axial line, four or more chip discharge grooves which are formed on an outer periphery of the tool body with gaps therebetween in a circumferential direction, and a plurality of cutting inserts which are arranged in multiple stages along the chip discharge grooves. In a cross-sectional view perpendicular to the axial line, when a center angle formed between a pair of virtual straight lines which connects each of the cutting edges of the cutting inserts disposed in a pair of chip discharge grooves adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction and the axial line to each other is defined as an angle, a plurality of angles formed around the axial line include one maximum angle (max), one minimum angle (min), and two or more angles other than the angle (max) and the angle (min).

A cutting tool according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes a shaft portion and cutting edge portions. The main cutting edge portions have a main cutting edge. In a section within ?30% of a blade length of a region from a center of the region in a direction along the central axis, the main cutting edge portions have first and second nick portions. The main cutting edge portions are formed in the region. The relationship between the first nick portion and the second nick portion satisfies at least one of a first condition and a second condition. The first condition is that a width of the first nick portion is different from a width of the second nick portion. The second condition is that a depth of the first nick portion is different from a depth of the second nick portion.

A bur with features that minimize the application of substantially identical forces to the tissue against which the bur is applied. One of these features is the arrangement of the flutes so that one pair of flutes projects outwardly from the tip at an acute angle that is greater than the angle at which the other flutes project outwardly from tip. Consequently at the equator of the bur head, the location along the bur head where the bur head has a maximum diameter, the flutes define a perimeter that is non-circular in shape.

The invention provides a dental milling tool for milling dental materials in the making of dental prostheses. The dental milling tool is a ball-nose end mill having three helical flutes, each flute being associated with a cutting edge, each cutting edge having chip breakers along the curved edges of the ball. The dental milling tool may be formed from a hard material such as carbide based material, ceramic, cermet, superhard materials including polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride (CBN), and diamond composite. Alternatively, the dental milling tool may be coated with a hard coating such as diamond coating, diamond-like-carbon (DLC), nitride based coating such as titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN), aluminium titanium nitride, (AlTiN), and titanium nitride (TiN), and ceramic coating.

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 one-piece cutting tool has a shank portion with a mounting end and a cutting end. The cutting end has a body portion and a substantially hemispherical portion. The cutting end further comprises a plurality of flutes, each flute helically extending adjacent to one another about the cutting end along a length from the body portion to the hemispherical portion. Each flute has a cutting edge divided into a first cutting edge section and a second cutting edge section, the first cutting edge section extending along the body portion and being substantially straight-edged or serrated, and the second cutting edge section extending along the hemispherical portion and being serrated along at least a part of the hemispherical portion. A cutting tool assembly is also provided.

In a roughing end mill, an end mill main body is provided with: a peripheral cutting edge; an end cutting edge; and a corner cutting edge formed between the peripheral cutting edge and the end cutting edge. A roughing part having a waveform pattern of recesses and protrusions is formed in the peripheral cutting edge, and a phase of the recesses and protrusions of the roughing part of one chip discharge flute is shifted with respect to that of the other chip discharge flute adjacent to the one chip discharge flute. A foremost protrusion of the roughing part of one peripheral cutting edge is located closer to a distal end of the end mill main body than those of the other peripheral cutting edges, a peak of the foremost protrusion of the one peripheral cutting edge is aligned with another peak of the corner cutting edge adjacent to the one peripheral cutting edge. Also, a peak of a foremost protrusion of the roughing part of each of the other peripheral cutting edges is connected to another peak of the corner cutting edge adjacent to the other peripheral cutting edge by another straight portion extending in a linear manner.
