A method of manufacturing a machining tool in which an insert holder comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first insert tip slot extending between the first surface and the second surface. The first insert tip slot is configured so as to be compressed and densified to support a first insert tip. The insert holder further includes elevated projections extending from the first and second surfaces proximate the first insert tip slot.

A method for producing a milling tool with cutting teeth includes the steps: defining a tooth profile to be machined with the milling tool from a workpiece to be processed to produce a gear tooth; determining a cutting tooth geometry, including the cutting edges of the cutting tooth geometry, with which the defined tooth profile to be machined in the workpiece to be processed can be machined using a milling process; subdividing the cutting tooth geometry into at least two different partial cutting tooth geometries, wherein the different partial cutting tooth geometries are configured such that at least one of the partial cutting tooth geometries has portions which recess behind the outer contour of the cutting tooth geometry and that the superposition of the different partial cutting tooth geometries reproduces the cutting tooth geometry; providing a milling tool blank; and machining of cutting teeth from the milling tool blank.

A tool holder has a tool body with at least one pocket for receiving at least one cutting insert. The at least one pocket has a support surface and an abutment surface transverse thereto, and a first stress relief surface located between the support surface and the abutment surface. The first stress relief surface extends along a first axis towards a first pocket peripheral surface.

A method for assembling cable wrapping tapes. From an adhesive tape parent roll, strip-like adhesive tapes (11), each having two cut edges (12a) on the sides, are produced from a textile material which has an adhesive coating (12) on one side, by cutting in the drawing direction of the parent roll.
