Abstract:
In a chip-forming machining operation improved results accrue from imparting to the chip - in the course of its formation - a longitudinally extending bulge or thickened portion which significantly stiffens the chip and desirably modifies its form. Locating the bulge adjacent the central part of the chip influences a ring-shaped form of chip, while locating the bulge adjacent an edge of the chip results in a cylindrical form of chip having a fairly constant radius of curvature and a great relatively constant pitch. The cutting tool which provides this stiffened chip has a groove or concavity at the locus where the thickened portion of the chip is desired.
Abstract:
In a milling cutter comprising a cutter body having a plurality of cutting insert-receiving recesses spaced about its periphery and cutting inserts removably secured in said recesses by clamping means, each insert having two opposite, substantially plane, end surfaces with side surfaces between them, the improvement wherein the side edges of each cutting insert are formed with clearance angles Beta equal to one-half that clearance angle Alpha which is necessary for the functioning of the milling cutter. Each insert is positioned, in its recess, with one side edge resting against a support surface that is planetarily ground in the cutter body substantially parallel to its rotational plane so that the angle which one end surface presents to said planetarily ground support surface is equal to 90*-( Alpha /2).

Abstract:
A deep hole drill is rotatable around a geometric axis and includes a body defining a through-channel arranged for internal chip evacuation. The channel opens in front and rear ends of the body. One or more cutting edges are made integrally with the rest of the body, more precisely from a hard material, such as cemented carbide or CERMET. A front bridge of the body extends across the front channel and possesses the integral cutting edge(s).
Abstract:
A threading tap for cutting threads in blind holes includes an elongated body with a central axis, the body having at a rear end a connector portion, and having at a front end a threading portion. The threading portion is provided with at least one helical thread-cutting structure and interconnected flank portions defining at least one helical flute which interrupts the helical thread cutting structure. The flank portions present exposed surfaces that are steam tempered. The rest of the tap is coated by PVD.
Abstract:
A drill bit assembly includes a drill bit having a leading end to which a drill tip is bonded. The drill tip has a front cutting edge, a pair of side cutting edges, a rear end and a pair of parallel side walls extending between the respective edges. The leading end is arranged to support the drill tip along the rear end and against the parallel side walls. The drill bit includes a bore extending axially therethrough and opening into the leading end. The drill tip extends across the bore but permits egress of flushing liquid from the bore. The drill tip includes projections arranged to cooperate with an engagement face formed at the leading end to locate the drill tip in a bonding position relative to the leading end prior to bonding of the drill tip to the leading end. The cooperation is such as to resist shifting movement of the drill tip in a direction of elongation of the tip and out of the bonding position.
Abstract:
An improved cutting tool insert and a method for the preparation of such cutting tool insert, having a sintered alumina and silicon carbide whisker composite material body, comprising the steps of milling and mixing the powdered starting materials of said composite material and forming said material into a preformed workpiece, heating up said workpiece at a heating rate of from about 20 to about 60null C. per minute to a sintering temperature of between from about 1600 to about 2300null C., and holding at said sintering temperature for a holding time of from about 5 to about 60 minutes at a pressure of between from about 20 to about 100 MPa.
Abstract:
A tool for chip removing machining includes a tool head having at least one chip pocket formed therein which serves as a common pocket for first and second replaceable cutting inserts. The inserts perform mutually different machining operations and have their respective active surfaces disposed in generally mutually facing relationship to one another within the pocket. A radially outermost portion of the first insert is spaced farther from a center axis of the tool head than is a radially outermost portion of the second insert.
Abstract:
A device for chip forming machining including first and second rotatable bodies arranged along a common axis of rotation. The first body forms a male element, and the second body forms a female element into which the male element is threaded for forming a threaded joint. The male element has an outer circumferential area displaced in the axial direction in relation to the thread thereof and which engages a corresponding inner circumferential area of the female element by a press-fit. One or both of those circumferential areas has an out-of-roundness, such that there occurs a press-fit along two or more preselected regions in the circumferential direction.
Abstract:
A tool for chip-removing machining includes an insert holder, a cutting insert for chip-removing machining, and a fixing element for fixing the cutting insert in an insert seat of the insert holder. The insert has fingers projecting from a bottom side of the insert. The insert seat has a number of elastically flexible portions forming recesses therebetween which receive respective fingers of the insert. Contact surfaces of the fingers engage respective contact surfaces of the flexible portions to cause the flexible portions to flex elastically as the fingers become wedgingly secured in the recesses.
