A double-sided, polygonal cutting insert includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of side surfaces extend between the first surface and the second surface. A plurality of primary concave cutting edges are formed at an intersection between the plurality of side surfaces and the first and second surfaces, and a plurality of convex wiper edges are formed at an intersection between the plurality of side surfaces and the first and second surfaces. Each wiper edge has a step extending radially outward from a respective side surface. The cutting insert is mounted in a cutting tool such that the primary cutting edge and a wiper edge contact a workpiece to produce a high-quality surface finish on the workpiece.

In a cutting tool rotatable about a tool axis, a reversible cutting insert is removably secured in a tool body. The cutting insert has opposing top and bottom end surfaces interconnected by a peripheral surface, and a median plane located therebetween. The peripheral surface includes four side surfaces alternating with four corner surfaces, the side and corner surfaces intersecting the top surface to form top major cutting edges and top corner cutting edges, respectively. Each side surface has a median surface and a top major relief surface. Each top major relief surface forms an acute internal top major relief angle with the median plane, and the median plane intersects the four median surfaces to define an imaginary median square. In a top end view of the cutting insert, the four top major cutting edges define an imaginary top major square rotationally offset from the imaginary median square.

A double-ended parting cutting insert. The cutting insert includes two cutting portions at opposite ends thereof which are oriented at 90° to each other. The cutting insert includes a pair of rake and support engagement grooves, the rake and support engagement grooves of each one of the pair converging in a direction away from a respective cutting portion. An insert holder includes a clamping portion having a resilient upper clamping jaw having an upper engagement ridge and a lower base jaw having a lower engagement ridge. A gap therebetween forms an insert receiving slot that has a slot opening. The upper and lower engagement ridges converge in a direction away from the slot opening. When the cutting insert is releasably attached to the insert holder, to constitute a fastened position of a cutting tool, the cutting insert is located in the insert receiving slot and resiliently clamped therein.

A slotting tool body includes a disc-like cutter portion and a shank portion projecting rearwardly therefrom. The cutter portion includes a resilient clamping portion having a peripherally disposed insert receiving slot. The shank portion includes a peripherally disposed forward shank recess that is axially adjacent the cutter portion. A radially inward portion of the insert receiving slot merges in the rearward direction with the forward shank recess. A cutting insert is releasably and resiliently clamped in the insert receiving slot to form a rotary slot cutting tool. The cutting insert includes two cutting portions that each include a long and short insert lateral extension, the long insert lateral extension being longer than the short insert lateral extension. The longest insert lateral extensions are orated on opposite sides of the cutting insert.

A cutting insert includes a first end surface and a second end surface, in which a first peripheral side surface includes a first rake surface adjacent to a first main cutting edge and a first concave surface connected to the second end surface and formed to be recessed from the first rake surface toward a central axis of a through hole, and the first concave surface has a first restraint surface provided at a position where a distance between the first restraint surface and a second main cutting edge is smaller than a distance between the central axis of the through hole and the second main cutting edge, when viewed from a direction parallel to the central axis of the through hole.

A land preparation tool includes a tool body having a longitudinal axis, a cutting surface having a distal end and a blade positioned at the distal end, and a mounting interface disposed on the tool body opposite the cutting surface. The mounting interface has an apex extending along the mounting interface parallel to the longitudinal axis, a mounting surface extending from the apex, another mounting surface extending from the apex, and an opening. A channel extends from the opening of the mounting interface into the tool body.

A double-sided, polygonal cutting insert includes a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A plurality of side surfaces extend between the first surface and the second surface. A plurality of primary concave cutting edges are formed at an intersection between the plurality of side surfaces and the first and second surfaces, and a plurality of convex wiper edges are formed at an intersection between the plurality of side surfaces and the first and second surfaces. Each wiper edge has a step extending radially outward from a respective side surface. The cutting insert is mounted in a cutting tool such that the primary cutting edge and a wiper edge contact a workpiece to produce a high-quality surface finish on the workpiece.

A cutting insert includes an insert peripheral surface that includes at least one planar major insert side abutment surface and an insert lower surface that includes an anti-slip recess recessed therein. The anti-slip recess includes at least one elongated and straight anti-slip groove. Each major insert side abutment surface is oriented parallel to a groove longitudinal axis of a respective anti-slip groove. An insert holder includes a holder pocket. The holder pocket includes a pocket peripheral surface which includes planar major pocket side abutment surface and a pocket base surface having an elongated and straight anti-slip rib. When the cutting insert is releasably attached to the insert holder, to constitute a fastened position of a cutting tool, the anti-slip rib is located in the anti-slip groove that is oriented parallel to the major insert side abutment surface that abuts the major pocket side abutment surface.

A cutting tool includes a body, a first cutting insert, a second cutting insert, and a third cutting insert. The body has a front end surface and an outer circumferential surface. The first cutting insert is attached to a first pocket. The second cutting insert is attached to a second pocket. The third cutting insert is attached to a third pocket. The first pocket has a first seat surface, a second seat surface, a third seat surface, and a first swarf discharging groove. The second pocket has a fourth seat surface, a fifth seat surface, a sixth seat surface, and a second swarf discharging groove. The third pocket has a seventh seat surface, an eighth seat surface, a ninth seat surface, and a third swarf discharging groove. In a cross section perpendicular to an axis, an angle formed between a straight line along the sixth seat surface and a tangent of the second swarf discharging groove at a boundary between the outer circumferential surface and the second swarf discharging groove is more than 90.
