One-piece reamer cutting discs including integral engagement and cutting portions are disclosed. The engagement portion may allow for torque transmission and alignment of the reamer cutting disc on a reamer tool body. The integral engagement portion and cutting portion allows for the cutting portion to be provided closer to the end of the tool body. The one-piece reamer cutting discs may be mounted on a tool body having coolant outlets that direct coolant from the tool body to the exterior surface of the cutting disc.

This disclosure relates to a machine tool comprising a tool holder which rotates relative to a workpiece to be machined and has a tool axis, and a plurality of cutting inserts that are removably attached to the tool holder, the active cutting edges of said cutting inserts having a common cutting circle which is coaxial to the tool axis. According to this disclosure, the tool holder has a cylinder-type insert seat shell for radially positioning the cutting inserts, which rotates about the tool axis. The cutting inserts have at least one contact surface that can be brought into contact with the insert seat shell.

An insert portion (3) of a reamer (1) is fixed, using screws (8), to a leading end portion of a body (2A). The insert portion (3) is configured by overlaying an insert (4) for finish machining and an insert (5) for rough machining, and forms a right hand cut right hand helix. On respective mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), convex portions and concave portions of the mating face of the insert (4) overlap with concave portions and convex portions of the mating face of the insert (5). The reamer (1) can enlarge a hole formed in a workpiece or change a shape of the hole. The inserts (4, 5) simultaneously cut an inner peripheral face of the hole, and can thus perform rough machining and finish machining in one pass. By overlapping the convex portions and the concave portions of each of the mating faces of the inserts (4, 5), they partially overlap in their respective thickness directions. A protrusion length of the insert portion (3) can thus be shortened.

A reaming tool includes a tool holder body and at least one one-piece indexable reaming insert. The reaming insert includes more than one cutting edge. The tool holder body has an insert clamp for clamping the reaming insert relative to the tool holder body. The cutting edge extends beyond a periphery of the tool holder body when the reaming insert is clamped relative to an abutment surface of the tool holder body. The reaming insert has a head and an integral mounting portion, the tool holder body having an opening in which the integral mounting portion of the cutting insert is disposed. A reaming insert for a tool is also disclosed.
