MODULAR DRILL WITH ENHANCED BUMP-OFF CAPABILITY

A rotary cutting tool with enhanced bump-off capability is disclosed. The cutting tool includes a tool shank having a pocket. A replaceable cutting head is at least partially disposed within the pocket of the tool shank with an interference fit. A coupling pin assembly is at least partially received within a bore of the tool shank. The coupling pin assembly comprises a sleeve member and a coupling pin at least partially disposed within the sleeve member. The sleeve member includes an upper portion and a lower portion having a non-circular cross-sectional shape with a bump-off surface. An actuation screw contacts the coupling pin assembly and causes the replaceable cutting head to move relative to the tool shank. The bump-off surface of the lower portion of the sleeve member extends radially outward with respect to the coupling pin by a distance, D, thereby providing enhanced bump-off capability.

Provided is a machining tool, including: a tool head, configured to contact a workpiece to be processed and process the workpiece to be processed; a tool shank including a body and a fixing recess formed by recessing from one end of the body in an axial direction of the body; and a fixing shaft including a shaft body formed by extending from the tool head and a shaft extension extending from the shaft body in a direction facing away from the tool head. The shaft extension is inserted into the fixing recess to achieve fixing. At least a portion of the shaft extension has a non-circular cross-section, and a shape of the fixing recess matches a shape of the shaft extension. Compared with the related art, the machining tool of the present disclosure has high processing precision and good reliability.

Cutting tool part assembly

A cutting head attachment assembly for a cutting tool includes a body forming an axially forward part of the cutting tool attachable to a cutting head via a clamping element and a fixation element. A guide surface provided at the body or cutting head extends in both a radial and an axial direction to support movement of the clamping element in both the radial and axial directions via actuation of the fixation element to force and clamp together axially the head and body.

Cutting insert and cutting tool

A cutting insert includes a cylindrical body portion, a cutting portion, a first fitting portion, a second fitting portion, and a third fitting portion. The cutting portion includes a rake face and a flank face. A ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face constitutes a cutting edge. When viewed in the axial direction, the cutting portion is provided opposite to the third fitting portion relative to the insertion hole. When viewed in the axial direction, a straight line extending through an outer circumferential end of the cutting edge and a center of the insertion hole overlaps with the third fitting portion and is located between the first fitting portion and the second fitting portion. A third central angle is smaller than a first central angle and is smaller than a second central angle.
