A hybrid cutting apparatus and a method of cutting a groove are provided. The hybrid cutting apparatus includes: a main body that is connected with a rotation shaft of a machine tool; a grooving tool that is coupled to one side of the main body and for forming a groove at an interior circumference of a workpiece; and a tool position control means that controls a position of the grooving tool to correspond to a cutting surface position of the workpiece.

For producing a cylindrical surface that has a surface structure of predetermined geometry suitable for application of material by thermal spraying, a geometrically predetermined groove structure of minimal depth and width is introduced into the surface by a tool embodied as a follow-on tool in that a groove cross-section is processed successively to a final size. In order for the surface to be producible in mass production with constant quality, the groove structure is worked in such that first a base groove is introduced with a groove bottom width that is smaller than the groove bottom width of the finished groove. Subsequently, at least one flank of the base groove is processed for producing an undercut groove profile by a non-cutting action or cutting action wherein the introduced groove structure is deformed in such a way that the groove openings are constricted by upsetting deformations of material.

A cutting edge adjustment device for a cutting tool for adjusting the position of a cutting edge of a cutting insert by causing movement of the cutting insert includes a rotary member for producing the movement. The rotary member is formed into a shape in which a substantially cylindrical portion having a constant radius and a cam portion having a cam face whose radius is gradually increased in a manner corresponding to the amount of the movement are arranged in a direction of a rotational center axis. The cam face is formed in such a manner as to have a section in which a radius is linearly increased, and consequently, the unit rotational angle of the rotary member on the rotational center axis is proportional to the unit movement amount of the cutting insert.
