A round double-sided cutting insert includes an insert peripheral surface that includes a plurality of angularly spaced apart indexing latches protruding therefrom and a plurality of cylindrical insert side abutment surfaces that circumferentially alternate with the plurality of indexing latches. An insert holder has a pocket peripheral surface which includes at least one indexing gap and a plurality of pocket side abutment surfaces that circumferentially alternate with the at least one indexing gap. When the cutting insert is releasably attached to the insert holder, to constitute a fastened position of a cutting tool, each of the plurality of pocket side abutment surfaces abuts a respective insert side abutment surface and each indexing gap has a respective indexing latch located therein.

An indexable cutting insert has opposing upper and lower end surfaces, and a peripheral surface including three side surfaces circumferentially alternating with three corner surfaces. The three side surfaces define an imaginary triangle and an imaginary hexagon. Each corner surface intersects the upper end surface to form an upper corner peripheral edge having a primary cutting edge. In a top view, each triangle side traverses two upper corner peripheral edges, imaginary lines tangential to the end points of each primary cutting edge are either collinear or form an obtuse angle greater than 175 degrees, each primary cutting edge has a primary length greater than half the hexagon side length, and at least one triangle side traverses each primary cutting edge. The insert is removably secured in a rotary cutting tool such that one of the upper corner peripheral edges contains an axially forwardmost point of the insert's upper peripheral edge.

Disclosed is an indexable face milling cutting insert which comprises an insert body and a cutting body laminated on an upper surface of the insert body, and the insert body comprises multiple positioning side surfaces, an upper plane, and a positioning bottom surface; a projection of an edge of the positioning bottom surface, or an extension line thereof, on a rake face is intersected with a corresponding edge of the rake face, or an extension line thereof, to form a surface deflection angle and multiple flank faces are arranged between the rake face and the multiple positioning side surfaces, so as to avoid damaging the positioning side surfaces when a cutting edge is sharpened, thereby ensuring stability and long-term effect of a positioning reference, and a face cutting milling and a wiper face milling are applicable to a same face milling insert retaining slots.

A cutting insert 10 comprises a peripheral side surface 16 comprising a plurality of peripheral side surface parts 16A-16H formed so as to be in rotational symmetry with respect to a central axis AX. In the cutting insert 10, a second end surface 14 is provided with a plurality of inclined surface parts 13A-13H formed so as to be in rotational symmetry with respect to the central axis AX and to be recessed from a peripheral edge part 14A.

A cutting insert includes a rake face, a seating face facing an opposite side to the rake face and seated on an insert mounting seat, and a flank face extending around the rake face and the seating face, in which two cutting edges each having an arcuate cutting edge portion extending in an arc shape and a linear cutting edge portion which is in contact with the arcuate cutting edge portion are formed on an intersecting ridgeline portion between the rake face and the flank face, a groove portion having a wall surface coming into contact with a projection portion protruding from a bottom surface of the insert mounting seat is formed on the seating face, and the groove portion has a narrow width portion in which a groove width decreases from one end side toward the other end side in a direction in which the groove portion extends.

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. The cutting is performed using an ultrasound-excited cutting tool (1) and wherein the cutting is performed using a cooled cutting tool (1). An adhesive tape (11), having a strip-like textile carrier material (13) and an adhesive coating (12) applied to one side and two cut edges (12a) on the sides. The cut edges (12a) are created by ultrasound cutting, and the textile carrier material (13) of the carrier is fused to its cut edges (12a). No adhesive coating (12) exists on the cut edges (12a); which are free of lint and threads.

An indexable cutting insert has a first corner edge forming a front tip of a cutting edge portion configured to project furthest in the direction of an axis of rotation of an end mill tool receiving the insert. A major cutting edge is descending to come closer to the lower surface of the insert along its extension away from the first corner edge. The minor cutting edge extends from the first corner edge while descending from a point of the cutting edge portion most distant to the lower surface all the way to an inner corner of the insert and has a length of 80%-95% of the length of the major cutting edge including a second corner edge in a side elevation view of the cutting insert.

A rotary cutting tool having a disk-shaped cutting body with a plurality of identical insert receiving pockets, and an equal number of indexable cutting inserts removably retained therein, having opposing upper and lower surfaces and opposing first and second insert end surfaces. First and second cutting edges are formed at the intersection of the upper surface and the first and second insert end surfaces, respectively. Circumferentially adjacent cutting inserts have a different one of their first and second insert end surfaces in contact with an insert receiving pocket back wall. First and second planes are equidistantly offset from opposite sides of the cutting body, the first plane only intersecting the first cutting edge of every circumferentially alternate cutting insert and none of the second cutting edges, and the second plane only intersecting the second cutting edge of every circumferentially alternate cutting insert and none of the first cutting edges.

A compression milling cutter includes a shank and a front cutting portion that terminates at a leading end of the milling cutter. The front cutting portion has a first circumferential row of one or more insert receiving pockets proximate a leading end of the milling cutter, and a second circumferential row of one or more insert receiving pockets, each insert receiving pocket configured to receive a respective indexable cutting insert. The cutting insert mounted in the first circumferential row has a positive axial rake angle, A, and the indexable cutting insert mounted in an insert pocket of the second circumferential row has a negative axial rake angle, B. Because of the different axial rake angles, chips generated during a machining operation flow in opposite directions, thereby creating a compression zone disposed between the first and second circumferential rows. This compression zone replicates the cutting action of a solid end mill, particularly when machining fiber reinforced plastic materials.

A cutting insert for milling square shoulders has side surfaces each provided with a major cutting edge connected to an associated wiper edge on an adjacent side surface of the insert. The side surface provided with the major cutting edge has two generally flat and non-coplanar support surfaces arranged consecutively with respect to a direction of the extension of the major cutting edge and make different angles with a normal to a bottom surface of the insert. A border forming a limit of the support surfaces most distant to the bottom surface is inclined with respect to the bottom surface so that the distance of this border to the bottom surface increases in a direction of extension of the cutting edge towards the wiper edge.
