A cutting insert of an embodiment includes a cutting edge located at an intersecting part of an upper surface and a side surface. The cutting edge includes a corner cutting edge, a major cutting edge, and a flat cutting edge. The upper surface includes a first land surface located along the corner cutting edge, a second land surface located along the major cutting edge, and a third land surface located along the flat cutting edge. A maximum value of a width of the third land surface is smaller than a maximum value of a width of each of the first land surface and the second land surface in a top view.

The invention concerns a cutting insert comprising an upper and a lower surface and one or more edge surfaces which connect the upper surface and the lower surface together, wherein provided at the transition of at least one edge surface at least to the upper surface is at least one cutting edge, wherein the upper surface adjoining the cutting edge is in the form of a chip surface and the edge surface adjoining the cutting edge is in the form of a tool flank. To provide a cutting insert in which the chip break range is enlarged and the risk of damage to the cutting insert and/or the tool and/or the workpiece by coiling chips is reduced it is provided according to the invention that at least one recess is provided in the tool flank at a spacing from the cutting edge.

A cutting tool insert includes eight identical cutting edges. Each separate cutting edge has a first cutting edge portion and a second cutting edge portion. A corner angle between the first cutting edge portion and the second cutting edge portion is within a range of 75 to <90 degrees. The first cutting edge portion and the second cutting edge portion have substantially the same length to provide a substantially equal cutting depth. As seen along the center axis of the insert a first angle within a range of 14+/−9 degrees is formed between a first imaginary line extending from the center axis to a corner point at the first side surface and a second imaginary line extending from the center axis to an adjacent corner point at the second side surface. A cutting tool insert holder is also disclosed.

A cutting insert includes a body having an upper face, a lower face, a plurality of planar flank faces joining the upper and lower faces, and a plurality of curved flank faces joining the plurality of flank faces. A T-land is formed at a downward sloping angle with respect to the upper face. A cutting edge is formed at an intersection of a respective flank face and the T-land. A curved cutting edge is formed at an intersection of a respective curved flank face and the T-land. A micro-channel is formed in one of the flank faces, the curved flank faces and the T-land and proximate one of the cutting edge and the curved cutting edge.

A cutting insert configured to couple to a pipe machining apparatus is provided and includes a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge opposite the first cutting edge. A pipe cutting assembly is provided and includes a first base, a second base separate from the first base, and a cutting insert interchangeably couplable to the first base and the second base to perform a first cut with the cutting insert coupled to the first base and a second cut with the cutting insert coupled to the second base. A pipe machining apparatus is provided and includes a tool support, a first cutting tool base and a second cutting tool base interchangeably coupled to the tool support, and a cutting insert interchangeably coupled to the first cutting tool base and the second cutting tool base.

A cutting insert is provided, comprising a top surface, a bottom surface, a plurality of side surfaces spanning therebetween, and a cutting edge formed at an intersection of the side surface and a forwardly-disposed portion of the top the surface. It further comprises a cooling cavity projecting into the insert, a top end thereof being disposed further forwardly than an open bottom end thereof. The cooling cavity defines at least one molding axis such that a solid element having the shape of the cooling cavity and completely inserted therein may be retracted intact therefrom along a linear path parallel to the molding axis. A circumscribing portion is formed on the side surfaces encircling the cutting insert. The circumscribing portion is formed parallel to the molding axis and has a non-zero height along its entire extent. The cutting insert does not extend beyond the circumscribing portion.

A disposable chamfering blade is provided with a mounting hole through which the disposable chamfering blade can be locked to a cutter body. One end of the disposable chamfering blade is provided with a conical cutter head whose conical periphery is circumferentially provided with a plurality of chip removing grooves. Each chip removing groove has a side face formed as a cutting edge such that the disposable chamfering blade is formed with a plurality of cutting edges for continuous cutting.

A turning tool cutting insert having an insert face with a rake face includes a primary land extending along a first cutting edge. The primary land includes a first primary land portion adjacent a linear edge portion, and a second primary land portion adjacent a central portion of the corner edge portion. The first primary land portion differs from the second primary land portion. A transitional primary land portion adjoins the first primary land portion and the second primary land portion, and forms a transition between the first primary land portion and the second primary land portion. The transitional primary land portion is arranged only adjacent an outer portion of the corner edge portion. Further, a turning tool including a turning tool cutting insert is disclosed.

A cutting insert configured to couple to a pipe machining apparatus is provided and includes a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge opposite the first cutting edge. A pipe cutting assembly is provided and includes a first base, a second base separate from the first base, and a cutting insert interchangeably couplable to the first base and the second base to perform a first cut with the cutting insert coupled to the first base and a second cut with the cutting insert coupled to the second base. A pipe machining apparatus is provided and includes a tool support, a first cutting tool base and a second cutting tool base interchangeably coupled to the tool support, and a cutting insert interchangeably coupled to the first cutting tool base and the second cutting tool base.

A cutter assembly for a cutting tool has a super-hard volume of super-hard material having a proximal end and a distal end and including a cavity; and a cover member. The super-hard volume has a super-hard surface at the distal end including a cutting edge. The cavity has a cavity open end at the distal end. The super-hard surface includes a cavity peripheral area coterminous with the cavity open end and the cover member has a cover peripheral area configured to mate with the cavity peripheral area to allow the cover member to cover the cavity at the cavity open end, the covered cavity providing a housing chamber within the super-hard volume. A method of making a cutter assembly is also disclosed.
