A cutting insert according to one embodiment includes: a rake face; a flank face continuous to the rake face; and a cutting edge constituted of a ridgeline between the rake face and the flank face. A coolant flow path is provided inside the cutting insert. One end portion of the coolant flow path opens in the flank face to form a coolant ejection hole. The flank face is provided with a coolant guide groove extending from the coolant ejection hole toward the cutting edge with a base end portion of the coolant guide groove being connected to the coolant ejection hole and with a front end portion of the coolant guide groove being disposed at a position close to the cutting edge relative to the base end portion.

A cutting insert according to an aspect includes a base portion and a cutting portion. The cutting portion includes a front end surface, an top surface, a first lateral surface, a second lateral surface, a front cutting edge, and a lateral cutting edge. The front cutting edge includes a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge, and a radius of curvature of the first cutting edge is greater than a radius of curvature of the second cutting edge.

A cutting insert may include a base and a cutting part. The cutting part may include an upper surface, a first cutting edge and a second cutting edge. The first cutting edge may be located on a first ridgeline. The second cutting edge may be located on a second ridgeline. The upper surface may include a first inclined surface, protrusions and a first upheaved part. The first inclined surface may be located along the first ridgeline. The protrusions may be located side by side in a direction along the first ridgeline on the first inclined surface. The first upheaved part may be located at a side further away from the first ridgeline than the pair of protrusions. The second cutting edge may be inclined downward. An upper end of the first upheaved part may be located above the second cutting edge.

A tool system includes a machine-proximal shank configured to be introduced into a driven tool receptacle and containing a device for transferring a rotating movement to be picked up from the driven tool receptacle. A tool-proximal shank is configured as a tool holder or to have a tool holder releasably connected thereto. A gear mechanism disposed between the machine-proximal shank and the tool-proximal shank is configured to transfer a rotating movement transmitted by the device in a reduced manner to the tool-proximal shank. At least one insert seat configured on the tool holder for receiving an interchangeable cutting insert is provided on an end face of the tool holder extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the tool holder. A method for machining a workpiece is also provided.

A coolant supply mechanism is attachable to a cutting insert. The cutting insert has a first bottom surface, a first upper surface, and a first side surface. The first upper surface includes a corner portion that is located at a corner of the first upper surface when viewed in a plan view and that is contiguous to the first side surface so as to form a cutting edge, and a center portion located adjacent to the corner portion on a side opposite to the cutting edge when viewed in a plan view. The first upper surface is depressed toward the first bottom surface side at the center portion.

A modular drill including a shank having a shank bore therein, a guide pin tip disposed in the shank bore, a cutting tip, and a connection shaft coupled to the cutting tip, the connection shaft having a connection shaft sidewall and a guide path therein for guiding the guide pin tip therethrough while the connection shaft moves through the shank bore.

A cutting insert capable of performing front-turning and high feed back-turning according to one embodiment includes: an upper surface; a lower surface opposite to the upper surface in a vertical direction; a side portion configured to connect the upper surface and the lower surface; a mounting hole extending through the upper surface and the lower surface; and a plurality of cutting edges formed at edges where the upper surface meets the side portion, wherein the upper surface has one or more cutting corners, the plurality of cutting edges include a major cutting edge and a minor cutting edge extending from the cutting corner, and a representative inclination of the minor cutting edge used for high feed back-turning is greater than a representative inclination of the major cutting edge used for front-turning with respect to a virtual reference plane perpendicular to the vertical direction.

A whirling tool configured to machine a workpiece. The whirling tool includes a plurality of cutting inserts, a cutting insert carrier, and a coolant channel which is arranged in the cutting insert carrier. The cutting insert carrier includes a plurality of cutting insert receptacles for receiving and releasably fastening respectively one of the cutting inserts. The cutting insert receptacles are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction over the cutting insert carrier. The cutting insert carrier further includes a through-opening which extends along a central axis of the cutting insert carrier, and through which the workpiece can be passed during the machining. The cutting inserts protrude into the through-opening, and the coolant channel extends between an inlet opening and an outlet opening, wherein the outlet opening leads into the through-opening and/or is oriented towards the through-opening.

Provided is a cutting insert that can suppress damage of a corner cutting edge. The cutting insert has an approximately polygonal shape, and is constituted of a main cutting edge and a corner cutting edge connected to the main cutting edge. The cutting insert includes: a first side face portion that is connected to the main cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and is formed such that height thereof increases gradually in a direction of approaching the corner cutting edge; and a second side face portion that is connected to the corner cutting edge, has a negative clearance angle, and has height that is greater than the first side face portion.

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.
