A rotary cutting tool for slotting and a cutting insert replaceably mounted to such a rotary cutting tool. The cutting insert is mounted to an insert pocket of a tool body of the rotary cutting tool and is pressed by an elastic pressure portion provided in the tool body. The cutting insert has an upper surface, a lower surface and four peripheral side surfaces. The top and lower surfaces have an inclined surface pressed by the elastic pressure portion. When the cutting insert is mounted to the insert pocket, the inclined surface of the upper surface is pressed by the elastic pressure portion. The inclined surface is inclined with respect to a cross section of the cutting insert such that the lower surface and two peripheral side surfaces of the cutting insert are contacted with the insert pocket by pressure of the elastic pressure portion.

Disclosed is an indexable face milling cutting insert which comprises an insert body and a cutting body laminated on an upper surface of the insert body, and the insert body comprises multiple positioning side surfaces, an upper plane, and a positioning bottom surface; a projection of an edge of the positioning bottom surface, or an extension line thereof, on a rake face is intersected with a corresponding edge of the rake face, or an extension line thereof, to form a surface deflection angle and multiple flank faces are arranged between the rake face and the multiple positioning side surfaces, so as to avoid damaging the positioning side surfaces when a cutting edge is sharpened, thereby ensuring stability and long-term effect of a positioning reference, and a face cutting milling and a wiper face milling are applicable to a same face milling insert retaining slots.

A cutting insert has a first end surface and a second end surface which are opposed to each other. The first end surface has at least one apex and two side edges which extend so as to sandwich the apex. At least part of the two side edges serves as a cutting edge. The first end surface has a rake surface which is connected to the cutting edge. As viewed in a cross-section which intersects with the two side edges and which is orthogonal to the second end surface, the rake surface is inclined relative to the second end surface.

This sectional hob is provided with: a cylindrical hob body; a plate-shaped blade having a saw-toothed cutting edge, the blade being disposed in at least one attachment seat formed in an outer peripheral part of the hob body such that a direction of the cutting edge is parallel to a center axis direction of the hob body; and a plurality of wedge members configured to detachably-fix the blade disposed in the attachment seat to the hob body, the wedge members being installed in a recess formed on the outer peripheral part of the hob body, wherein the recess is adjacent to the attachment seat in a circumferential direction of the hob body, and the plurality of the wedge members are disposed in a line in the center axis direction in the recess.

A milling cutter (10), in particular a side milling cutter, is described, having a tool body (12), to which at least one cutting insert (14) is removably secured, said cutting insert being clamped by means of a movable clamping element (16) in the tool body (12) and comprising a cutting edge (18) pointing in the direction of rotation (R). The clamping element (16) clamps the cutting insert (14) from behind and is arranged on the rear side of the cutting insert (14) in the direction of rotation (R) of the milling cutter (10).

A technical object is to provide an apparatus for attaching or detaching an insert of a cutting tool, which enables easy and fast replacement of the insert. To this end, the apparatus for attaching or detaching the insert to or from a body of the cutting tool is provided in the body of the insert and includes an insert receiving portion formed in the body of the cutting tool to receive the insert therein, a wedge receiving portion formed in the body of the cutting tool continuously after the insert receiving portion, a wedge received in the wedge receiving portion, and a rotating unit configured to rotate the wedge in a first direction that faces the insert receiving portion, or to a second direction opposite the first direction.

An indexable cutting insert for milling of a root between two cogs of a cog wheel includes a top surface forming a chip surface, a bottom surface, a side surface forming a clearance surface, a first and a second curved cutting edge formed at an intersection between the top surface and the side surface for milling of the root between the two cogs. The bottom surface includes a first planar abutment section and a second planar abutment section. A first groove extends in the first abutment section and a second groove extends in the second abutment section, each along an axis parallel to a virtual line connecting the apexes of the first and second cutting edges. A first and a second stop section extend across the virtual line, wherein the first stop section protrudes above the first abutment section and the second stop section protrudes above the second abutment section.

A cutting tool includes a pocket with a top wall, a bottom wall, a side wall and a rear wall. The cutting tool has an insert cartridge and a wedge clamp. The threaded member exerts a force vector in a radial direction when threaded into the wedge clamp to place the cutting tool in a locked condition, and the wedge clamp exerts a force vector into the body of the cutting tool radially inward of an adjacent pocket, thereby reducing deflection of the adjacent pocket when the cutting tool is placed in the locked condition.
