One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a fin for collimating therapeutic radiation. The fin comprises a collimation area made of a first material and a holding area made of a second material. Herein, the collimation area and the holding area are pressed together. Herein, the first material is formed to collimate therapeutic radiation. Herein, the holding area can be coupled to an adjustment device for adjusting the fin.

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.

A shaft portion and a blade portion provided on a side surface of the shaft portion are included, and the blade portion includes cutting blades arranged in a plurality of lines on a side surface of the shaft portion along a peripheral direction, and arranged in a plurality of stages in an extending direction of a shaft center of the shaft portion in each line. Further, the cutting blade has a radial-direction clearance angle, a tip end-side clearance angle, and a base end-side clearance angle.

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 use of cryogenic coolant in a machining operation in Ti, Ti-alloys or Ni-alloys together with a cutting tool of a cemented carbide substrate with a gradient surface zone with a thickness of between 50-400 μm is provided. The cemented carbide substrate has a binder phase gradient with the lowest binder phase content in the outermost part of the gradient surface zone and the cemented carbide having graphite. The arrangement leads to a significantly prolonged tool life.

A cemented carbide cutting tool having WC and a low amount of binder phase can be used when machining Ti, Ti-alloys and Ni-based alloys under cryogenic conditions, leading to a significantly prolonged tool life.

The invention relates to a rotary tool (1; 101; 201; 301; 401) for cutting large inside diameters at the outer circumference (2) of which at least one cutting edge (4; 104; 204) is arranged, comprising a support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) which includes a supporting area (14; 114; 214) which indirectly or directly supports the cutting edge (4; 104; 204), and comprising a chucking portion (24; 124; 224; 324; 424) for coupling to a tool holder, wherein the support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) is designed in light-weight construction and the area (14; 114; 214) of the support structure (10; 110; 210; 310; 410) indirectly or directly supporting the cutting edge (4; 104; 204) is limited regarding thermal expansion by a corset structure (12; 112; 212; 312; 412).

An end mill having an eccentric flat relief formed thereon is proposed. The eccentric flat relief (simply referred to as ELF) includes at least three flat relief surfaces continuously arranged along a trajectory of an eccentric relief. Accordingly, the end mill, which combines strengths of the flat relief and an eccentric relief, has excellent rigidity and a heat discharge characteristic.

Provided is a cutter apparatus for machining a difficult-to-machine material, the cutter apparatus including: a cutting tool body which has a fastening portion formed at a center thereof; one or more cutters which are installed on the cutting tool body, and have superhard insert tips fixed to end portions thereof, respectively; and an angle adjusting unit which is installed in an internal space of the cutters, and adjusts angles of the cutters by spreading or retracting the cutters, so that angles of the cutters may be easily adjusted in accordance with a condition for cutting a difficult-to-machine material, in order to prevent damage to the superhard insert tips when machining a difficult-to-machine material having high hardness and high toughness.
