摘要:
A milling cutter includes a generally cylindrical body whose outer periphery is formed with angularly spaced pockets capable of accepting indexable cutting inserts of various cutting geometrical shapes, such as inserts having octagonal, square or round cutting geometry's and a different seating geometry, such as a generally round seating geometry. This is accomplished by each insert including a generally frustconical transition face extending between the clearance or faceted faces and the rear face of the insert. This transition face provides a transition area between the various cutting geometry's and the generally round seating geometry.

A cutting insert has an insert body with at least one pair of cutting regions. Each cutting region is comprised of a cutting edge and the cutting edges in a pair are diametrically opposed to one another about a pair axis. Each cutting edge of a pair faces a single rotary direction along a pair circle, and for each pair of cutting regions the cutting edges have cutting profiles that are not identical to one another. In a toolholder assembly utilizing this arrangement, the cutting edges of a pair protrude beyond the perimeter of the toolholder.

A rotary cutting tool with a holder body rotating about a central axis on which at least two cutting blades are mountable which have at least one cutting edge each and successively get in a metal-cutting engagement with a workpiece when the holder body rotates while simultaneously undergoing a linear forward feed, wherein the cutting blades are adapted to be advanced to a predetermined milling depth wherein the cutting edge of one cutting blade is disposed in an offset relationship from the cutting edge of the other cutting blade so that different areas of the cutting edges get into engagement with the workpiece and each cutting edge makes a partial contribution to the predetermined milling depth.

A cutting tool with a cutting tool holder and a plurality of replaceable indexable cutting inserts releasably attached to the holder. The holder has seats located about the circumference of one end of the holder for mounting of the cutting inserts. The seats are oriented with respect to the central axis of the tool holder such that not all seats have the same orientation, and this change in orientation allows greater use of the cutting edge of each insert.

A milling tool includes a holder rotatable about an axis and carrying a plurality of cutting inserts at a forward end thereof. Each insert includes a plurality of main cutting edges, and secondary cutting edges disposed on protruding corners of the insert. Each main cutting insert has a clearance surface located therebehind considered with reference to a direction of rotation of the holder. Each clearance surface has surface portion defining a convex profile, the convex profile forming a crest or transition. During a cutting operation, one of the main cutting edges constitutes an axially forwardmost inactive cutting edge. The transition of the clearance surface associated with that inactive edge is disposed axially forwardly with respect to the inactive cutting edge to prevent the inactive cutting edge from impacting against a workpiece.

A cartridge just large enough to hold a cutter tooth and a setscrew. The cartridge has an open-sided tap for the setscrew, exposing part of a side of the setscrew. A cutter body has a slot to receive the cartridge. The slot has a leading side with a generally cylindrical smooth wall portion that surrounds the exposed side of the setscrew. The cylindrical concave portion is uniquely angled to wedge the setscrew firmly against the cylindrical concave portion as the setscrew is tightened, and to force the cartridge against the bottom and trailing side of the slot. The cartridge and slot have parallel interlocking interfaces on both their leading and trailing sides. These are slidable interlocks, allowing the cartridge to slide into the slot while engaging both the leading and trailing interlocks. The setscrew can easily be manually tightened while the interlocks hold the cartridge steady in the slot.

A modular cutting tool assembly includes a tool holder (50) having at least one insert receiving pocket (52) and first (10,80) second cutting (100,102) inserts alternately receivable within the pocket (52). The first cutting (10,80) insert has a peripheral flank surface (18) configured to provide abutment features with m×n-fold rotational symmetry about the insert's central axis so that it can be restrained against the lateral support surfaces (56,58,60) in any of mn× angular positions, for at least one value of each of n and m where n≧3 and m≧2. The second cutting (100,102) insert has a peripheral flank surface (110) configured to provide reduced-symmetry abutment features with only n-fold rotational symmetry so that the second cutting insert can be restrained against the lateral support surfaces in only n angular positions. The peripheral flank surface (18,110) of at least the first cutting insert is configured such that a lower cross-section taken through the lower part of the first cutting insert perpendicular to the central axis has a recessed form.

A cutting mill kit includes a basic body formed with a plurality of peripheral recesses which receive respective cassettes and cutting inserts and an annular support element which is provided with at least one formation receiving a respective gib. The gib provides an axial support for the cassette and has a width lesser than a width of the cassette.
摘要:
A multi-faceted T-slot cylinder for a cutterhead is mounted to a wood lathe arbor using set screws installed in tapped holes which are provided near opposite ends of the cylinder in diametrically opposite faces of the cylinder (rather than in the same face, as is conventional). Static balancing of the cylinder is thereby improved. For fine-tuning, a dynamic balancing collar is mounted on the arbor near the cylinder. This collar has a plurality of tapped holes provided radially therethrough around its circumference. As the arbor is turned slowly, if measurement shows eccentricity in rotation, the high side is determined and a set screw tightened against the arbor in the respective tapped hole. This dynamic balancing can be done before or after the cutterhead is installed on the arbor, and the dynamic balancer can be used in combination with a wholly conventional T-slot cylinder.

A face milling type gear cutting assembly including contiguous cutting tools positioned in a common slot with means for preserving clearance for chip removal between these tools. The cutting assembly also includes a tool clamping arrangement featuring a novel clamping block which is releasably attached to a screw element in situ.
