20110150584 | Side Cutter - A side cutter has a substantially disk-shaped or substantially ring-shaped cutter body, two or more peripheral cutting inserts each having a cutting edge protruding from a peripheral surface of the cutter body, and two or more corner cutting inserts each having a cutting edge protruding from an end surface of the cutter body. The peripheral cutting insert and the corner cutting insert are arranged in the cutter body such that the cutting edges adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction have overlapping rotational trajectories around the axis of rotation of the cutter body. In addition, a peripheral cutting insert and a corner cutting insert belonging to an insert set are spaced from each other in an axial direction of the cutter body and are arranged substantially in the same position in the circumferential direction of the cutter body. | 06-23-2011 |
20110135408 | Temporary Coupling Mechanism for Cutting Tip and Indexable Cutting Tool with Same - A temporary coupling mechanism facilitates replacement of a cutting tip in a pocket of a cutting tool, by preventing the cutting tip from falling out of the pocket when a clamping member, e.g., a screw member or wedge member, is loosened. The pocket is provided with a first coupling portion and the cutting tip is provided with a second coupling portion configured to engage the first coupling portion. In one embodiment, the second coupling portion is at least one concave groove or convex portion located in a predetermined position of the cutting tip. A convex portion or a concave groove is provided in at least one of the pocket's tip mounting seat and the clamping member to engage the concave groove and the convex portion of the cutting tip. The concave groove extends substantially in parallel with the seat face of the tip mounting seat and the convex portion is inserted and fitted into the concave groove so as to be engaged thereto when the cutting tip is inserted into the tip mounting seat and is taken out of the tip mounting seat, causing the cutting tip to be movable only in a predetermined direction relative to the tip mounting seat. | 06-09-2011 |
20110117344 | Coated Material - A coated material for a cutting tool can realize long life-time under severe cutting processing conditions such as high-speed processing, high-feed-rate processing, higher hardness of a material to be cut, cutting of a difficult-to-cut material, etc. In a coated material in which a coating is coated on the surface of a substrate, at least one layer of the coating is a hard film having a cubic metallic compound which includes at least one metal element M selected from Al, Si, Ti, Zr, Hf, V, Nb, Ta, Cr, Mo and W, and at least one element selected from C, N and O. An X-ray intensity distribution of an α axis in a pole figure for a (111) plane of the hard film has a maximum intensity in an α angle range of 75 to 90°, and an X-ray intensity distribution of an α axis in a pole figure for a (220) plane of the hard film has a maximum intensity in an α angle range of 75 to 90°. | 05-19-2011 |
20110116879 | Clamping Member, Tool Holder and Indexable Cutting Tool - A clamping member for reliably inserting a protrusion portion thereof into a mounting hole of a cutting insert so as to engage the protrusion portion with an inner peripheral surface of the cutting insert and strongly clamp the cutting insert on a tool holder. The clamping member includes a body having a top surface engageable with a head of a clamping bolt, a bottom surface facing the tool holder and a bolt hole for insertion of the clamping bolt, and a protrusion portion protruding from the bottom surface and being engageable with a mounting hole formed in the cutting insert. The protrusion portion has an inclined surface facing toward a rotational direction about a center axis of the clamping bolt, the inclined surface is inclined so that the protrusion portion is gradually tapered from a base side thereof proximate the bottom surface toward an end side thereof distal from the bottom surface. | 05-19-2011 |
