A cutting insert of the present disclosure includes a first surface, a second surface, and a cutting edge. The first surface includes a corner part, and a first side and a second side each extending from the corner part. The second surface connects to the first surface. The cutting edge is located at a region where the first surface intersects with the second surface. The cutting edge includes a first cutting edge located at the first side, a second cutting edge located at the second side, and a third cutting edge located at the corner part. The first cutting edge and the third cutting edge are provided with a honing. A honing width of a side of the second cutting edge in the third cutting edge decreases as going away from the first cutting edge and then approaching the second cutting edge.

Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

A cutting tool based on an embodiment of the present invention is provided with a cylindrical main body section which is made of a cobalt-containing cemented carbide alloy and is rotatable about the central axis thereof, a cutting edge which is provided at at least one of the tip and the periphery of the main body section, a chip discharge groove which extends from the cutting edge toward the rear end of the main body section, and a coating layer which is made of diamond and covers the cutting edge, wherein the cobalt content of the surface of the main body section at the part coated with the coating layer is less than the cobalt content of the surface of the main body section at parts other than the part coated with the coating layer.

A rotary cutting tool (10) comprises a shank (12) formed of a first material of a first hardness. The shank (12) has a first end (12a), and a plurality of elements (14) are provided at the first end (12a) of the shank (12). The elements (14) are formed of a second material of a second hardness greater than that of the first hardness. The elements (14) provide a platform to be able to create a plurality of cutting edges or teeth (18, 20a). A method of forming such a rotary cutting tool is also provided.

Tools and methods for forming modified mechanical roughening profiles are disclosed. In at least one embodiment, an engine block is provided including a body defining a cylinder bore having a bore surface. The bore surface may have defined therein a plurality of grooves extending from the bore surface and each groove may have a base and a top portion. The top portion may have opposing chamfered edges. The chamfered edges may be formed by a tool including at least one cutting element having triangular teeth and at least one cutting element having rectangular teeth. In another embodiment, a tool including at least one cutting element having curved teeth and at least one cutting element having rectangular teeth may be used to form grooves having a curved/radiused edge surface. The disclosed roughening profiles may reduce oxide growth when a coating is applied to the bore surface.

Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

A fly-cutting system is disclosed, and in particular one that comprises a dynamically-controllable actuator for controlling the position, orientation, or both position and orientation of a cutting element carried by a fly-cutting head. In certain embodiments, the actuator can adjust the position or orientation of a cutting element, or both, hundreds or thousands of times per second, enabling precise control over the shape of features formed by the cutting element in a surface of a workpiece.

In an embodiment, a cutting tool includes a holder and a cutting insert. The holder is elongated, extends from a first end to a second end along a rotational axis. The holder includes an insert pocket on a side of the first end. The cutting insert is located in the insert pocket and includes a cutting edge. The insert pocket includes an opening in an end surface of the first end and an outer peripheral surface adjacent to the first end of the holder. The cutting insert further includes a first portion that is located more radially inward than an outer peripheral opening of in the insert pocket in a front view of the first end of the holder. The first portion has a width greater than a width of the opening in a direction along a rotation direction of the rotation axis.

An end mill includes a major-diameter shank, a cone-shaped connector portion disposed at the end of the shank, a minor-diameter body disposed by way of the connector portion coaxially therewith, a toothed element disposed at the leading end of the body, an installation recess dented slightly in the toothed element, and a cutting edge held in the installation recess so as to swell in the shape of an arc to protrude from an outer peripheral face of the body.

Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.
