In one embodiment, a cutting tool includes an insert that includes a cutting edge at at least one part of a portion where two surfaces intersect. The cutting tool further includes a holder capable of rotating about a rotational axis. The holder includes a pocket including: a placement portion where the insert is positioned; and a cutout portion is adjacent to the placement portion and positioned further forward in a rotational direction than the placement portion. The holder further includes an inflow port that opens at at least one part of the holder, a first flow path positioned in the interior of the holder, and an outflow port positioned at the pocket. The cutout portion includes a recessed portion.

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 milling tool body is rotatable around a central rotation axis and includes a front end surface and a rear end surface. An envelope surface surrounds the axis and extends between the rear end surface and the front end surface. A plurality of insert pockets are formed in a transition between the envelope surface and the front end surface. A first central through-hole of constant diameter extends between the rear end surface and the front surface. The locking disc has a second central through-hole and a fastening device is arranged to extend through the second central through-hole. The locking disc is arranged to press against the front end surface of the milling tool body when mounting the milling tool body to an adaptor by the fastening device. The fastening device is mountable to an end of the adaptor insertable into the first central through-hole.

An end mill body comprises: bottom blades formed at ridgelines where gashes and tip flank faces intersect, the gashes are formed at the tips of chip discharge grooves. At least one of the bottom blades serves as a long bottom blade that extends toward an inner peripheral side longer than the remaining bottom blades. The end mill body also has coolant holes formed between the chip discharge grooves. A coolant hole which is located between a chip discharge groove of a gash and a chip discharge groove located behind the chip discharge groove in a rotational direction is open to the tip clearance face of the long bottom blade. A coolant hole which is located between the chip discharge groove of the gash and a chip discharge groove located in front of the chip discharge groove in the rotational direction is open to the gash of the long bottom blade.

A method for producing a tool with a diamond-studded tool head includes the steps of providing a tool shank and fixing a support element to a free end of the tool shank. The method further includes the steps of applying a layer of material interspersed with diamonds at least in sections to the support element and to a section of the tool shank adjoining the support element, and at least partially removing the support element, so that the layer of material interspersed with diamonds forms a tool head which in cross-section has the form of a circular ring and has a front-side recess.

An example milling bit comprises a shank and a working sector comprising a cutting anterior part, which is a portion of a hollow sphere, a cutting posterior part fixed to the shank and located between the shank and the spherical anterior part, at least one cutting tooth extending along an entire length of the working sector with a cutting edge, and at least one flute to the cutting tooth extending along length of the working sector following the path of the cutting edge. The spherical anterior part of the working sector is hollow and at least one cutting tooth in the anterior cavity region has a shape of a spherical shell element.

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 diamond tool comprising a tool shank and a tool head, which is fixed on the tool shank and which is formed by a layer of material interspersed with diamonds at least in sections, the layer of material interspersed with diamonds at least in sections being directly integrally bonded to the tool shank by an electroplating deposition process and the tool head having a recess on the front side, so that in cross-section the tool head has the form of a circular ring in the area of the free end, the tool head forming a hollow milling cutter and a wall forming the hollow milling cutter and having the form of a circular ring consisting only of a nickel-diamond material that is grown by electroplating.

The invention relates to a method for producing a blisk comprising a plurality of blade profiles and channels extending between the blade profiles using a bell-type countersink having a conical lateral surface, wherein the method comprises the steps providing a disk-shaped blank, and, to form the channels in the blank, plunging the bell-type countersink into the blank on a lateral surface of the blank and thereby moving it in a direction along a generating line of the bell-type countersink, wherein the displacement of the bell-type countersink is a 3-axial movement on a linear path and/or a 5-axial movement on a curved path. The invention also relates to a bell-type countersink.
