The invention relates to a pick, in particular a round-shank pick, comprising a pick head and a pick shank, wherein the pick head consists of at least a base part and a cutting element, which is connected to the base part and is composed of a hard material, in particular hard metal, wherein the base part has a wear-resistant layer on the outer surface thereof at the connection to the cutting element, which wear-resistant layer covers at least one segment of the outer surface of the base part facing the cutting element and wherein an end face of the wear-resistant layer facing the cutting element is covered by the cutting element. According to the invention, the base part has an axially oriented cut-out for receiving a fastening segment of the cutting element, the base part has a counter surface facing the cutting element and extending around the cut-out, and the counter surface and the end face of the wear-resistant layer form a continuous flat surface. The invention further relates to two methods for producing such a pick. The pick formed in such a way has low abrasive wear.

Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a system for removing road material. In an embodiment, the system may include a milling drum and at least one pick mounted on the milling drum. The pick may include polycrystalline diamond at least partially forming one or more working surfaces of the pick.

A washerless cutting tool assembly includes a cutting tool holder and a rotatable cutting tool at least partially disposed within the cutting tool holder. The cutting tool holder includes an alignment feature in the form of a protrusion at an axial forward end and a groove at an axial rearward end of the head portion of the rotatable cutting tool. The groove is capable of receiving the protrusion of the cutting tool holder to align the central, longitudinal axis of rotatable cutting tool with the central, longitudinal axis of the cutting tool holder. The cutting tool assembly further includes a limited rotated feature in the form of a braking ring disposed within an annular groove and a retainer ring disposed over the braking ring.

A wear-resistant armored cutting tool may be provided. The wear-resistant armored cutting tool may include a tool body, a bolster, at least one wear-resistant member, and a cutting tip. The bolster may be fixedly attached to the tool body with an end of a surface of the tool body disposed adjacent the bolster. The at least one wear-resistant member may be fixedly attached to the tool body. The at least one wear-resistant member may be disposed adjacent to the end of the surface of the tool body. The cutting tip may be fixedly attached to the bolster. The bolster, the at least one wear-resistant member, and the cutting tip may each have a material hardness which is greater than that of the tool body.

A method of redistributing the binder phase of a cemented carbide mining insert having a WC hard-phase component, optionally one or more further hard-phase components and a binder includes the steps of providing a green cemented carbide mining insert; applying at least one binder puller selected from a metal oxide or a metal carbonate to only at least one local area of the surface of the green cemented carbide insert; sintering the green carbide mining insert to form a sintered cemented carbide insert; and subjecting the sintered cemented carbide insert to dry tumbling process executed at an elevated temperature of or above 100° C., preferably at a temperature of or above 200° C., more preferably at a temperature of between 200° C. and 450° C.

A rotatable cutting tool (10) includes a cutting tool body (12) having an axial forward end (14) and an axial rearward end (16). A bolster (46) at least partially received in a head portion (22) and includes a convex-shaped head portion (56) with a socket (20), a collar portion (58) and a tapered shank portion (60). The socket (20) is formed with a substantially planar side wall (20a), a bottom wall (20b), and a radius blend (20c). A hard tip or cutting insert (18) is at least partially received in the socket (20) of the bolster (46) and includes a convex-shaped conical head portion (72), a collar portion (74) and an axially-rearward portion (76) that generally conforms to the geometry of the socket (20) of the bolster (46). Between about sixty percent (60%) and about ninety percent (90%) of the cutting insert (18) is received in the socket (20) of the bolster (46), thereby reducing forces and stresses transmitted to the cutting tool (10) during a machining operation.

The present invention relates to a chisel device for a ground milling machine, comprising a chisel holder having a mounting orifice and a milling chisel, wherein the milling chisel has a basic body of, in particular, a uniform material and has a shaft and a tool region, said shaft being held, under working conditions, in the mounting orifice while the tool region (P) protrudes, under working conditions, from the chisel holder, wherein said milling chisel has a wear protection cap consisting of carbide and having a tip and a protective jacket, wherein the wear protection cap is positioned on the tool region (P) in such a manner that it covers at least 70% of the external surface of the tool region (P). The present invention also relates to a milling chisel for such a chisel device.

The invention relates to a pick (10, 11), in particular a round-shank pick, for use on a cutting roller, comprising a pick head (20) and a pick shank (40) for holding the pick in a pick holder (50), wherein the pick head of the pick has at least one cutting region (20.3). Provision is made here for a planar and/or recessed ejection region (20.4) to be arranged in a central region of the pick head so as to directly or indirectly adjoin the cutting region. The pick has an optimized conveying function for the material to be removed.
