Abstract:
A cutting insert (100,100′) includes a body (102) having a top face (104), a bottom face (106) opposite the top face (104), and at least one flank face (108, 110, 112, 114). A coolant inlet aperture (126), a coolant outlet aperture (132, 134), and an internal coolant passage (128, 130) in fluid communication with the coolant inlet aperture (126) and the coolant outlet aperture (132, 134) are formed using electro-magnetic radiation. The coolant inlet aperture (126) can be formed in the top face (104), the bottom face (106) and/or the flank face (108, 110, 112, 114), and the coolant outlet aperture (132, 134) can be formed in any different face (104, 106, 108, 110, 112, 114). A method of forming the internal coolant passages (128, 130) is described.
