Various components of an electronic device housing and methods for their assembly are disclosed. The housing can be formed by assembling and connecting two or more different sections together. The sections of the housing may be coupled together using one or more coupling members. The coupling members may be formed using a two-shot molding process in which the first shot forms a structural portion of the coupling members, and the second shot forms cosmetic portions of the coupling members.

In a diamond-coated tool provided with a blade which includes a base material and a diamond layer formed on the base material, when a length of the blade along an extending direction thereof is denoted by L, and a thickness of the diamond layer of the blade is measured at a total number of 11 points which are arranged from one end of the blade along the extending direction thereof and separated from each other at an interval of L/10, the thickness is the same at all of the 11 points, or a ratio d.sub.min/d.sub.max between a minimum value d.sub.min of the thickness and a maximum value d.sub.max of the thickness is 0.7 or more and less than 1.

The invention provides a dental milling tool for milling dental materials in the making of dental prostheses. The dental milling tool is a ball-nose end mill having three helical flutes, each flute being associated with a cutting edge, each cutting edge having chip breakers along the curved edges of the ball. The dental milling tool may be formed from a hard material such as carbide based material, ceramic, cermet, superhard materials including polycrystalline diamond (PCD) and cubic boron nitride (CBN), and diamond composite. Alternatively, the dental milling tool may be coated with a hard coating such as diamond coating, diamond-like-carbon (DLC), nitride based coating such as titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN), aluminium titanium nitride, (AlTiN), and titanium nitride (TiN), and ceramic coating.

A cutting tool includes: a main body portion composed of a cemented carbide; and a front end portion composed of a binderless cubic boron nitride polycrystal, the front end portion being joined to the main body portion. In an axial direction along a rotation axis of the main body portion, the main body portion has a first end and a second end opposite to the first end. The front end portion has a neck portion and an edge portion, the neck portion protruding from the second end along the axial direction, the edge portion being continuous to the neck portion, the edge portion being located at a location distant away from the second end relative to the neck portion in the axial direction. In the axial direction, the neck portion has a third end on the edge portion side and a fourth end opposite to the third end.

A cutting tool may include a base member and a diamond layer located on the base member. The cutting tool may include a first surface, a second surface, and a cutting edge located in at least a part of a ridge line which the first surface intersects with the second surface. The diamond layer may be located in at least a part of the first surface, at least a part of the second surface, and at least a part of the cutting edge. A maximum height in the cutting edge may be smaller than a maximum height in the first surface. The maximum height in the cutting edge may be greater than a maximum height in the second surface.

In an embodiment, a cutting insert includes a body member and a cutting member. The body member is a columnar body, and includes: an upper surface; a lower surface; and an outer side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface. The cutting member is located at a corner part of the outer side surface in the body member. The cutting member includes: at least three surfaces being exposed; and a cutting edge at an intersecting portion of two of the at least three surfaces. The body member includes a through hole penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface.

A cutting tool rotates about a rotation axis, and includes a tip end portion. The tip end portion includes a partially spherical surface that is brought into contact with a workpiece. The surface is provided with a plurality of recesses disposed apart from each other. An opening edge of each of the plurality of recesses constitutes a cutting edge.

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.
