The present invention provides a novel groove cutter with chip breaker, comprising: a cutter body; a cutter head arranged at the end part of the cutter body, a cutting edge being arranged at a bordering position of the cutter head; and a chip breaker arranged on the cutter head, wherein the chip breaker comprises a breaker bottom and a breaker wall, the breaker bottom being connected to the cutting edge, the breaker wall being arranged on one side of the breaker bottom away from the cutting edge, the breaker bottom being non-coplanar with the breaker wall, an intersecting line of the breaker bottom and the breaker wall comprising multiple connecting sections, and one curved transition section being arranged between two adjacent connecting sections. By means of the technical solutions provided in the present application, the problem that breaking chips in a groove machining process is difficult in the prior art can be solved.

A cutting insert includes a body having an upper face, a lower face, a plurality of planar flank faces, bidirectional acute cutting corners and bidirectional obtuse cutting corners joining two adjacent flank faces. A land has a varying width. An annular island includes a plurality of bulged extensions, relatively longer and narrower chip breaking points proximate the acute cutting corners, and relatively shorter and wider chip breaking points proximate the obtuse cutting corners. A chip breaking ramp surface flanks each of the relatively longer and narrower chip breaking points and each of the relatively shorter and wider chip breaking points. The chip breaking ramp surfaces form a series of non-collinear lines that are at a non-zero angle with respect to the cutting edge.

A tube-facing machine includes a driving unit including a driving shaft and a motor for rotating the driving shaft, a cutting unit including a cutting tip mounted to the front end of the driving shaft and having a blade, and a tube-mounting unit. The cutting tip is disposed such that an angle between an imaginary reference line extending outwards from the center point of the tube in a radial direction and an imaginary line extending from the center point of the tube to a point at which the blade meets the inner circumference of the tube in a rotating direction of the cutting tip is greater than an angle between the imaginary reference line and another imaginary line extending from the center point of the tube to a point at which the blade meets the outer circumference of the tube in the rotating direction of the cutting tip.

There is provided a machining assembly and cutting insert for machining metal or like workpieces, wherein the cutting insert body has a cutting end. The cutting end comprises at least one cutting edge and at least one cutting lip formed adjacent the at least one cutting edge. The at least one cutting lip includes at least one cutting protrusion and associated chip cutting edge to split the chip formed by the at least one cutting edge, for producing chips during machining which are of a width that is sufficiently reduced to allow proper evacuation or removal.

A cutting insert according includes a first surface and a cutting edge. The first surface includes a first inclined surface and a projection. The first inclined surface includes a first region located close to a first corner portion, a second region located close to a second corner portion, and a third region located between the first region and the second region. The projection includes a first projection located close to the first corner portion and a second projection located close to the second corner portion. A first top portion of the first projection is located closer to the first corner portion than a first boundary portion between the first region and the third region, and a second top portion of the second projection is located closer to the second corner portion than a second boundary portion between the second region and the third region.

A cutting insert is described. It has a cutting insert body with a central mounting section and at least one cutting edge. The cutting edge is wave-shaped and generally descending from an end section of the cutting edge towards a middle section of the cutting edge. Furthermore, a chip guiding recess extends substantially along the at least one cutting edge and is arranged between the cutting edge and the central mounting section. A chip breaker element is arranged in the chip guiding recess. The chip breaker element comprises a first portion having a first width and a second portion having a second width, wherein a transition between the first portion and the second portion is formed as a step.

There is provided a machining assembly and cutting insert for machining metal or like workpieces, wherein the cutting insert body has a cutting end. The cutting end comprises at least one cutting edge and at least one cutting lip formed adjacent the at least one cutting edge. The at least one cutting lip includes at least one cutting protrusion and associated chip cutting edge to split the chip formed by the at least one cutting edge, for producing chips during machining which are of a width that is sufficiently reduced to allow proper evacuation or removal.

A cutting insert for a tool for machining a workpiece. The cutting insert comprises a rake face with a chip shaping geometry which is particularly suitable for machining titanium and titanium alloys. The chip shaping geometry is designed in such a way that the chip lifted from the workpiece is deformed comparatively strongly about its longitudinal axis. The chip shaping geometry is arranged at least in a rear area of the rake face, which is laterally bounded by a first concavely curved portion and a second concavely curved portion of the minor cutting edges of the cutting insert. The chip shaping geometry projects upwardly beyond a cutting plane in which the main cutting edge of the cutting insert and two rectilinear portions of the two minor cutting edges are arranged and comprises at least two elevations so that the rake face in the rear area in a further cross-section parallel to the main cutting edge comprises two high points and an intermediate second low point which has an equal third distance from the first concavely curved portion and the second concavely curved portion. A rake angle along the main cutting edge varies such that the rake angle γ1 at a center of the main cutting edge, which has an equal second distance from a first end and a second end of the main cutting edge, is greater than the rake angle in the area of the first and/or second ends.

A cutting insert may include a first surface and a second surface. The first surface may include a first side, a first corner, a second corner, and a breaker part. The breaker part may include a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment. The first segment may be an inclined surface inclined so as to approach the second surface as going away from the first side. The third segment may be an inclined surface inclined so as to separate from the second surface as going away from the second segment. In a front view of the first surface, a maximum value at a side of the second corner may be greater than a maximum value at a side of the first corner in a distance from the first side to a top portion of the third segment on an orthogonal line with respect to the first side.

This disclosure relates to a machining tool having a base body which is rotatable about a rotary axis and movable in a feed direction along the rotary axis, at least one cutting element which is fixed on the base body and has a front cutting edge pointing in the feed direction, and a flute associated with the cutting element and formed by a recess in the base body. In order to control the chip flow, according to this disclosure, a flute cover mounted on the base body is proposed, which outwardly covers a chip removal area of the flute adjoining the cutting element.
