A cutting insert that suppresses softening of joint material in a joint surface between a sintered body and a base body to improve the joint strength, and that enables size reduction of the sintered body, is provided. The cutting insert includes a sintered body having a cutting edge, and a base body having a leading end where the sintered body is joined via a braze material. The sintered body includes a front surface on a leading side, an upper surface connected to the front surface and forming the cutting edge with the front surface along a connecting edge with the front surface, a bottom surface opposite the upper surface, a back surface opposite the front surface, and two side surfaces. The sintered body and base body are joined together in a joint surface including the bottom surface and back surface of the sintered body. The joint surface in side view has a step-like shape with a leading side thereof being lower than a trailing side thereof.

A drill (1) is provided with a body (10) and a head (30). The body (10) is formed of cemented carbide, and the head (30) is formed of PCD. Spiral coolant passages (17, 18) are provided inside the body (10). Oil holes (25, 26) are provided in a body-side joint surface of the body (10). The oil holes (25, 26) are outlets of the coolant passages (17, 18). Coolant passages (37, 38) provided inside the head (30) extend from oil holes (45, 46) provided at a tip (31) toward a rear end (32). A head-side joint surface of the head (30) is joined to the body-side joint surface. Two oil holes are provided in the head-side joint surface. The two oil holes are inlets of the coolant passages (37, 38), and communicate with the oil holes (25, 26) in the body-side joint surface.

Improvements in a self-balancing tool holder or material removal machine that allows for greater accuracy of material removal. The balancer is able to self-adjust, any changes in the assembly are automatically adjusted. The adjustment can account for tool wear, accumulation of debris on the tool and balancing at different speeds of rotation. The tool holder balancer can be a mechanical fastener, shrink fit or bonding to the tool holder or material removal machine. The balancer uses a plurality of balls or any form of movable weight in the ring to provide the balance. The plurality of balls or media can freely move around the inside of the ring to offset any imbalance. The balls roll or spin to unique positions to provide a dynamic balance. The number and size of balls or weighted media is selected based upon the maximum amount of dynamic balancing that is required.

A composite polycrystal contains polycrystalline diamond formed of diamond grains that are directly bonded mutually, and non-diamond carbon dispersed in the polycrystalline diamond, and has a concentration of contained hydrogen of greater than 1000 ppm and less than or equal to 20000 ppm.

A tool system for machining a workpiece is provided having a cylinder-shaped retaining shank that has a cutting head holder on an end surface facing the workpiece, a drive mount on an end surface facing the drive, a cutting head having at least one cutting edge, a cutting head hub corresponding to the cutting head holder on the retaining shank, a tool coupling with a tool interface, and a coupling hub corresponding to the drive mount. The coupling hub or the cutting head hub have elevated areas, with contact surfaces, distributed in circumferential and longitudinal directions of the coupling hub or the cutting head hub. The contact surfaces make contact on support surfaces on the drive mount or on the cutting head holder on the retaining shank. The drive mount or the cutting head holder is permanently connected to the coupling hub or the cutting head hub by a joining material in intermediate spaces between the elevations.

The invention relates to a cutting tool, particularly for use in a tool chuck of a machine tool, including a tool shaft with a center longitudinal axis and a tool head. The tool head is connected to the tool shaft via a positive-locking connection, which locks the movement in the direction of the center longitudinal axis and the positive-locking connection is supplemented by a bonded connection, particularly a soldered connection.

A method for reloading a single-flute drill comprising a shaft made of a hard metal and a drill head that is connected to the shaft and is made of a hard metal, is characterized by the following steps: removing a worn drill head from the shaft; integrally bonding a new drill head to the shaft.

A composite diamond body includes a diamond base material and a stable layer disposed on the diamond base material. The stable layer may have a thickness of 0.001 μm or more and less than 10 μm, and may include a plurality of layers. A composite diamond tool includes the composite diamond body. There are thus provided highly wear-resistant composite diamond body and composite diamond tool that are even applicable to mirror-finish planarization of a workpiece which reacts with diamond to cause the diamond to wear.
