Description

  The present invention relates to a blade-exchange-type grooving tool and an end face grooving method using the same.

  Conventionally, a work piece made of a metal material or the like is rotated around the rotation axis, and is formed on the back surface (end face) of the machining hole formed around the rotation axis of the work material or the outer peripheral surface of the work material. There is known an edge-changing grooving tool in which an end face facing the rotation axis direction in the stepped portion is grooved with a cutting blade of a cutting insert. For example, a conventional cutting edge-replaceable grooving tool 100 shown in FIG. 23 is detachably mounted with a cutting insert 30 formed in a rod shape having a rectangular cross section at the tip of a shaft-shaped tool body 1. The cutting insert 30 has a pair of cutting edges 32 at both ends in the extending direction of the rod-shaped insert body 31 (left and right direction (X direction) in FIG. 23). Of these cutting edges 32, one cutting edge 32A protruding from the tip surface of the tool body 1 is grooved into the inner surface (end face) B of the machining hole H of the work material W (inner diameter side end face grooving). ). In the example of FIG. 23, the inner surface B of the work material W is orthogonal to the rotation axis WO and is formed adjacent to the inner peripheral surface (circumferential surface) S of the processing hole H, and one cutting edge 32A is The rear surface B is grooved by moving in the X direction parallel to the rotation axis WO along the inner peripheral surface S. The cutting insert 30 is rotationally symmetric with respect to an insert height axis C3 that passes through the center in the extending direction and the width direction of the insert body 31 and extends in the height direction perpendicular to the extending direction and the width direction. It is formed symmetrically with respect to an insert virtual plane (not shown) that includes the height axis C3 and is orthogonal to the extending direction, regardless of whether the specification of the tool body 1 is left-handed or right-handed. 32B can be used.

In FIG. 23, the other cutting edge 32B of the pair of cutting edges 32 is not used for cutting, and when one cutting edge 32A becomes unsuitable for use due to wear, chipping, or the like, the orientation of the insert body 31 is attached. Is inverted in the extending direction so that the cutting edge 32B protrudes from the tip surface of the tool body 1 and is used for grooving.
In this manner, the blade tip replaceable groove is formed on the inner surface (inner diameter side end surface) B which is arranged radially inward of the inner peripheral surface S in the processing hole H of the work material W and faces the rotation axis WO direction. Inner diameter side end face grooving using the insertion tool 100 is performed.

  In the example of FIG. 24, the above-mentioned cutting insert 30 is detachably attached to the tip of a blade-tip-exchangeable grooving tool 105 having an axial shape. Then, one of the cutting edges 32A protruding from the tip surface of the tool body 1 is directed to the rotation axis WO toward the end surface E facing the rotation axis WO direction in the stepped portion U of the work material W formed in a multistage columnar shape. The end face E is grooved (outer diameter side end face grooving) by moving in the X direction in parallel. In this example, the end surface E of the work material W is orthogonal to the rotation axis WO and is formed adjacent to the small diameter portion of the outer peripheral surface (circumferential surface) R, and one cutting edge 32A is formed on the small diameter portion. The grooving process is performed with respect to the end face E by moving along.

In this way, the blade tip exchange-type grooving with respect to the end surface (outer diameter side end surface) E which is arranged radially outward of the outer peripheral surface R in the small diameter portion of the work material W and faces the rotation axis WO direction. Outer diameter side end face grooving using the tool 105 is performed.
Moreover, what was described in patent document 1 is known as another cutting insert used for such a grooving process, for example.

Japanese Patent Publication No.7-115251

However, the above-mentioned blade edge replaceable grooving tools 100 and 105 have the following problems.
In the cutting insert 30, the extending direction of the insert body 31 (insert longitudinal axis C <b> 1 shown in FIGS. 23 and 24) is parallel to the rotation axis WO of the work material W, and the peripheral surface of the work material W The pair of cutting edges 32 have the same distance from the circumferential surfaces S and R. With such an arrangement of the cutting insert 30, there is no particular problem when one of the cutting edges 32A is spaced from the peripheral surfaces S, R of the work material W and grooved into the end surfaces B, E. When the blade 32A moves along the peripheral surfaces S and R of the work material W and grooving the end surfaces B and E, the other cutting blade 32B contacts the peripheral surfaces S and R and is damaged. End up. 23 and 24, the depth d1 from the end surface F located closest to the base end side of the tool body 1 to the end surface B of the machining hole H or the end surface E of the stepped portion U in the work material W, When the relationship between the distance L3 from the other cutting edge 32B to the end faces B and E is d1 <L3, there is no contact, but when d1 ≧ L3, the contact is made, so the shape of the work material W is In addition to being limited, it is conceivable that the distance L3 is reduced during the processing and the aforementioned contact occurs. When such contact occurs, not only the processing accuracy of the work material W cannot be ensured, but also the other unused cutting edge 32B is damaged. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the corner portion 43 </ b> C located on the peripheral surface S, R side of the work material W contacts the peripheral surfaces S, R in the other cutting edge 32 </ b> B. For this reason, end face grooving along the peripheral surfaces S and R of the work material W as shown in FIGS. 23 and 24 could not be performed.

  In order to prevent such contact of the cutting edge 32B with the peripheral surfaces S, R, for example, it is conceivable to change the posture of the cutting insert 30 attached to the tool body 1. That is, as shown in FIGS. 27 and 28, when viewed from the rake face 33 side (the upper surface side of the insert main body 31) of the cutting insert 30, the insert longitudinal axis C1 of the insert main body 31 is from one cutting edge 32A side to the other. The cutting insert 30 may be attached to the tool body 1 with the cutting insert 30 inclined with respect to the X direction so as to gradually move away from the peripheral surface S (R) of the work material W as it goes toward the cutting edge 32B. Thereby, since the corner portion 43C disposed on the peripheral surface S (R) side of the other cutting edge 32B in the cutting insert 30 is disposed apart from the peripheral surface S (R), the contact described above is performed. Is prevented.

  However, in this case, if attention is paid to one of the cutting edges 32A, as shown in FIG. 28, the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A is in the drawing with respect to the work material virtual plane VS4 perpendicular to the rotation axis WO. It is inclined by an angle α. Originally, the groove bottom D of the groove formed by grooving is required to be perpendicular to the rotation axis WO (that is, parallel to the work material virtual plane VS4). By being inclined, the groove bottom D of the cut groove is also inclined by the angle α with respect to the work material virtual plane VS4, and sufficient machining accuracy cannot be ensured.

  On the other hand, in the cutting insert described in Patent Document 1, while the cutting insert is formed rotationally symmetrical with respect to the insert height axis, it is not formed plane-symmetrically with respect to the insert virtual plane, It is formed to be twisted as a whole. Thus, when the cutting insert is mounted on the tool body, the corner portion on the peripheral surface S (R) side of the other cutting edge is more circumferential than the corner portion on the peripheral surface S (R) side of the one cutting edge. The surface is separated from the surface S (R). However, in this case, left-handed and right-handed cutting inserts must be prepared in accordance with the specifications of the tool body, which increases the number of parts and makes management complicated.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and even when end face grooving is performed along the peripheral surface of the work material without increasing the number of parts of the cutting insert, the processing accuracy is improved. It is an object of the present invention to provide a blade replacement type grooving tool and an end face grooving method capable of sufficiently ensuring the above.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention proposes the following means.
That is, the present invention relates to a cutting insert having a cutting edge protruding toward an end face of a work material that rotates about a rotation axis, and a tool body that has a shaft shape and is detachably attached to the tip portion. And a cutting edge replaceable grooving tool for grooving the end face with the cutting edge, wherein the cutting insert is an upper surface of the insert body at both ends in the extending direction of the rod-shaped insert body. A pair of cutting edges, and rotationally symmetric with respect to the insert height axis passing through the center in the extending direction of the insert body and the center in the width direction orthogonal to the extending direction, and orthogonal to the extending direction and the width direction, and The insert blade is formed in plane symmetry with respect to an imaginary virtual plane including the insert height axis and perpendicular to the extending direction, and the cutting edge is formed at an end edge of the insert body in the extending direction. A front cutting edge extending along the width direction, a pair of corner portions disposed at both ends of the front cutting edge and projecting in the width direction, and a center of the insert body along the extending direction from the corner portion A pair of side cutting edges extending so as to gradually narrow each other toward the side, and the tool body is arranged so that the cutting insert is along one side faced to the side of the tool body. And one of the pair of cutting blades protrudes in the grooving direction from the tip surface of the tip portion toward the tip side, and the center axis of the tool body passes through the tip portion and passes through the tip portion. extends grooving direction, the cutting insert, the insert width axis along the center of the extending direction of the insert body as the width direction, of the width direction, the pair of corner portions Kicking is inclined gradually toward the lower side of the tool body from one of the corner portions located in a direction away from the central axis as it goes to the other in the width direction is a direction toward the other corner portion of the tool body, An insert longitudinal axis passing through the center in the width direction of the insert body and extending along the extending direction is inclined with respect to a virtual tool plane including the other corner portion of the one cutting edge and perpendicular to the vertical direction of the tool body. And, in the extending direction, gradually approach the tool virtual plane as it goes from the other cutting edge of the pair of cutting edges toward the one cutting edge. It extends toward the lower side of the tool body, and is located in a direction away from the center axis of the tool body rather than the other corner portion of the other cutting edge. The one corner portion is disposed in a direction approaching the central axis with respect to the one corner portion positioned in a direction away from the central axis than the other corner of the one cutting edge. It is characterized by that.
The present invention also provides a cutting insert having a cutting edge protruding toward an end face of a work material that rotates about a rotation axis, and a tool body that has a shaft shape and is detachably attached to the tip portion. And an edge face grooving method for grooving the end face of the work material with the cutting edge using a cutting edge exchange grooving tool, wherein the cutting insert is an extension of a rod-shaped insert body. A pair of cutting blades are provided on the upper surface of the insert main body at both ends in the existing direction, passing through the center in the extending direction of the insert main body and the center in the width direction orthogonal to the extending direction in the extending direction and the width direction. The insert blade is formed rotationally symmetric with respect to an orthogonal insert height axis, and symmetrical with respect to an insert virtual plane that includes the insert height axis and is perpendicular to the extending direction. A front cutting edge that is formed at an edge in the extending direction of the front edge and extends along the width direction, a pair of corner portions that are arranged at both ends of the front cutting edge and project in the width direction, and the corner portion. and a pair of side cutting edges progressively extending respectively so as to narrow the distance therebetween toward the central side of the insert body along the extending direction, the cutting insert, one of the previous SL pair of cutting edges of and attached to the tool body the cutting edge to protrude grooving direction, when processed grooving to the end face by moving along one of the cutting edges the said grooving direction, said insert the insert width axis along the center in the extending direction of the body as the width direction, of the width direction, the direction der directed from the corner portion of the hand that put the pair of corner portions on the other corner portion Inclined toward the front side in the rotational direction in which the work material rotates gradually toward the other width direction, and the insert longitudinal axis passing through the center in the width direction of the insert body along the extending direction is It is inclined with respect to the tool virtual plane including the other corner portion of the blade and the rotation axis, and is the direction from the other cutting edge of the pair of cutting edges toward the one cutting edge in the extending direction. As it goes toward one of the extending directions, it gradually extends toward the front side in the rotational direction so as to approach the tool virtual plane, and rises in the rotational axis direction adjacent to the end surface of the work material. With respect to the peripheral surface formed around the rotation axis, the one corner portion of the other cutting edge is connected to the end along the peripheral surface of the one cutting edge. It is characterized by being arranged away from the one corner portion cut into the surface .

  According to the cutting edge replaceable grooving tool and the end face grooving method according to the present invention, the front cutting edge in one cutting edge of the cutting insert protruding from the tip of the tool body toward the end face of the work material, Since it is inclined toward the front side in the rotational direction in which the work material rotates gradually toward the other width direction so as to be parallel to the insert width axis, the dischargeability of chips cut by one of the cutting edges is improved. Enhanced.

  Further, the insert longitudinal axis of the cutting insert is inclined so as to gradually approach the virtual tool plane as it goes in the one extending direction, and extends toward the lower surface side of the insert body. That is, since the other cutting edge is separated from the tool virtual plane toward the upper surface side of the insert body, the wedge angle of one cutting edge can be set large. Therefore, the cutting edge strength of one of the cutting edges for grooving the work material is sufficiently ensured.

In addition, one corner portion located on the opposite side to the other width direction in the other cutting edge is opposite to the one corner portion located on the opposite side in the one cutting edge in the other width direction side. Is arranged. Thereby, for example, grooving (inner diameter side end face grooving) in the back surface (end face) of the processed hole along the inner peripheral surface of the cylindrical hole-shaped processed hole formed around the rotation axis of the work material When it does, there exist the following effects. That is, for example, one corner portion of one cutting edge of the cutting insert is disposed close to the inner peripheral surface of the work material, and the cutting insert is moved in the grooving direction along the inner peripheral surface. When grooving, one corner portion of the other cutting edge is separated from the inner peripheral surface, and this corner portion is reliably prevented from coming into contact with and scratching the inner peripheral surface. The Further, for example, in the step portion of the work material having a multistage cylindrical shape, grooving processing (outer diameter side end face grooving) is performed on the end surface of the work material along the small diameter portion having the outer peripheral surface parallel to the rotation axis. In this case, the same effect as described above can be obtained. That is, for example, one corner portion of one cutting edge of the cutting insert is disposed close to the outer peripheral surface of the small-diameter portion of the work material, and the cutting insert is grooved along the small-diameter portion. When the grooving process is performed by moving to one, the corner portion of the other cutting edge is separated from the small diameter portion, and the corner portion is prevented from coming into contact with the small diameter portion and being damaged.
Further, the above-described contact prevents the other unused cutting edge from being damaged.

  Further, regardless of the depths d1 of the end faces B and E of the work material W described in FIGS. 23 and 24, one corner portion of the other cutting edge is separated from the peripheral surface of the work material, and this corner portion. Is reliably prevented from coming into contact with the peripheral surface and being damaged.

  Further, when focusing on the groove bottom of the work material to be cut by one of the cutting edges, the insert width axis of the cutting insert gradually inclines toward the front side in the rotational direction in which the work material rotates as it goes in the other width direction. And the insert longitudinal axis is inclined toward the lower surface side of the insert body so as to approach the tool virtual plane as it goes in the one extending direction, and one corner portion of the other cutting edge The groove bottom is formed with an inclination close to perpendicular to the rotation axis of the work material by being arranged on the other width direction side of the one corner portion of the cutting edge. That is, the angle α of the groove bottom D described with reference to FIG. 28 is formed to be relatively small, and the machining accuracy of the groove cut into the work material is increased.

  In addition, since the pair of side surface cutting blades provided in each cutting edge are formed to be inclined so as to gradually narrow each other from the outside in the extending direction of the insert body toward the center side, the processing of the groove wall Accuracy is ensured. That is, even if the mounting posture of the cutting insert with respect to the tool body is set as described above, the side surface disposed on the side opposite to the peripheral surface side of the work material (that is, the other width direction side) in one of the cutting edges The cutting edge does not come into contact with the opening edge of the groove wall on the opposite side of the groove formed in the work material.

Further, in the cutting edge-replaceable grooving tool according to the present invention, when the cutting insert is viewed from a direction orthogonal to the tool virtual plane, an angle θ1 formed by the insert width axis and the rotation axis is 90 ° ≦ θ1 ≦. It may be set to 90.5 °.
In the end face grooving method according to the present invention, an angle θ1 formed by the insert width axis and the rotation axis is 90 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 90 when the cutting insert is viewed from a direction orthogonal to the tool virtual plane. It may be set to 5 °.

According to the cutting edge-replaceable grooving tool and the end surface grooving method according to the present invention, for example, when the peripheral surface of the work material is formed parallel to the rotation axis, the extending direction of the insert body is the work surface. The angle of inclination with respect to the circumferential surface of the material is slightly (θ1-90 °) while approximating the angle θ1 between the insert width axis and the rotation axis minus 90 ° (ie, θ1-90 °). Is set to a larger value. That is, the cutting insert is mounted on the tool body so that the extending direction (insert longitudinal axis) of the insert body is substantially parallel to the cutting body while being slightly inclined with respect to the peripheral surface of the work material. Therefore, as described above, one corner portion of the other cutting edge is surely separated from the peripheral surface to ensure the processing accuracy of the peripheral surface, while the groove bottom of the groove formed on the end surface of the work material is Processing accuracy can be secured. Specifically, by setting the angle θ1 within the aforementioned range, the groove bottom of the grooved work material is formed substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis, so that the machining accuracy of the groove bottom is increased. Yes.

Further, in the end surface grooving method according to the present invention, the peripheral surface of the work material is an outer peripheral surface facing a radially outer side perpendicular to the rotation axis of the work material, and the end surface is the outer periphery. The step portion formed on the surface is an end surface facing the base end side of the tool main body, and the outer diameter side end surface grooving process may be performed on the end surface with the one cutting edge.

According to the cutting edge-replaceable grooving tool and the end face grooving method according to the present invention, for example, in the stepped portion of the work material having a multistage cylindrical shape, the rotation axis is adjacent to the end face facing the base end side of the tool body. Even when a small-diameter portion having an outer peripheral surface parallel to is formed, the outer-diameter side end face grooving can be performed with high accuracy regardless of the position of the end face to be grooved.

Therefore, the groove bottom of the work material to be cut with one of the cutting edges can be formed perpendicular to the rotation axis. Therefore, the finishing accuracy of the groove of the work material is sufficiently ensured.

Further, in the edge-changing grooving tool according to the present invention, the corner portion has a convex-curved first corner blade, and the other corner portion of the one cutting edge is adjacent to the corner portion. An intersection of the extension line of the front cutting edge and the perpendicular line extending from the outer edge portion in the width direction of the first corner edge toward the extension line may be disposed on the tool virtual plane.

(First embodiment)
FIGS. 1 to 11 show a cutting edge replacement grooving tool 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention and a cutting insert 30 used in the cutting edge replacement grooving tool 10. The cutting edge-replaceable grooving tool 10 according to the present embodiment is formed in a shaft shape, a tool body 1 having a substantially circular cross section perpendicular to the center axis TO, and a tip side of the tool body 1 along the center axis TO And a cutting insert 30 that is detachably attached to the end portion (tip portion) 3 of the tool body 1 and projects a cutting edge 32 from the tip surface 1A of the tool body 1 toward the tip side.

Further, the side flank 52 is formed to be inclined so as to gradually recede from the outer surface of the insert body 31 as it goes from the side cutting edge 42 to the lower surface side. In the following description, the surface of the insert body 31 on which the front clearance surface 51 is formed is referred to as the front surface of the cutting insert 30, and the surface of the insert body 31 on which the side clearance surface 52 is formed is referred to as the side surface of the cutting insert 30.

  When the cutting insert 30 is mounted on the insert mounting seat 4 of the tool body 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the cutting edge 32A is arranged on the one side (left side in the X direction in FIG. 3) of the pair of cutting edges 32. The cutting edge 32B is arranged on the other side (the right side in the X direction in FIG. 3). One cutting edge 32A protrudes from the tip surface 1A of the tip 3 of the tool body 1 toward the tip side and is disposed opposite to the back surface B of the work material W, and is grooved in the back surface B. It is designed to be processed. Specifically, the tool body 1 projects one cutting edge 32A of the pair of cutting edges 32 from the distal end surface 1A of the distal end portion 3 toward the grooving direction indicated by the symbol XA in the X direction, A cutting insert 30 is attached.

  3 and 5 to 8, the direction indicated by C2A is the tool body 1 in the pair of corner portions 43A and 43B (43C and 43D) in the width direction of the insert body 31 (in the direction of the insert width axis C2). From one corner portion 43A (43C) located on the side surface 2C, 3C side of the workpiece W and located on the inner circumferential surface S side of the work material W, it is located on the other side surface 2D, 3D side of the tool body 1 and the inner circumference. The other width direction, which is a direction toward the other corner portion 43B (43D) located on the opposite side to the surface S side, is shown. As shown in the front view of FIG. 10, the insert width axis C2 of the cutting insert 30 is gradually inclined toward the front side in the rotational direction WT of the workpiece W as it goes to the other width direction C2A.

  That is, in this cutting insert 30, the front cutting edge 41 of one cutting edge 32A is gradually inclined toward the front side in the rotation direction WT of the workpiece W as it goes to the other width direction C2A. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the cutting insert 30 gradually moves toward the front side in the rotational direction WT as the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32 </ b> A moves from the one side surface 3 </ b> C side to the other side surface 3 </ b> D side. At the same time, the tool body 1 is inclined toward the lower surface 3B. In addition, by this, in one cutting edge 32A, the corner portion 43B located on the other width direction C2A side of the pair of corner portions 43A and 43B has a rotational direction WT of the work material W with respect to the corner portion 43A. It is arranged on the front side.

  In the present embodiment, the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A is gradually inclined toward the front side in the rotational direction WT of the work material W as it is separated from the inner peripheral surface S toward the rotation axis WO. Here, what is denoted by reference sign VS3 in FIGS. 4, 5, and 10 represents a virtual tool plane including the corner portion 43B of the cutting edge 32A and the rotation axis WO. In FIG. 10, the angle θ2 formed by the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A and the tool virtual plane VS3 is set within a range of 0 ° <θ2 ≦ 7 °. In the present embodiment, this θ2 is set to about 3 °, for example. Further, since the insert width axis C2 is parallel to the front cutting edge 41, it can be said that the angle θ2 is an angle formed by the insert width axis C2 and the tool virtual plane VS3. In the present embodiment, the tool virtual plane VS3 is arranged in the XY horizontal plane.

  3 and FIG. 4, the direction indicated by the reference symbol C1A is one cutting edge from the other cutting edge 32B of the pair of cutting edges 32A and 32B in the extending direction of the insert body 31 (in the direction of the insert longitudinal axis C1). One extending direction which is a direction toward 32A is shown. As shown in FIG. 4, when viewed from one side 3C side of the tool body 1, the insert longitudinal axis C1 of the cutting insert 30 is inclined so as to gradually approach the tool virtual plane VS3 toward the one extending direction C1A. Has been.

  Specifically, in the side view of FIG. 4, the insert longitudinal axis C1 is gradually lowered from the upper surface side of the insert body 31 (upward in the vertical direction (Z direction) in FIG. 4) toward the one extending direction C1A. It extends so as to approach the tool virtual plane VS3 (downward in the Z direction in FIG. 4). Thereby, the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32B is separated toward the upper surface side of the insert main body 31 with respect to the tool virtual plane VS3. The angle θ3 formed by the insert longitudinal axis C1 and the tool virtual plane VS3 is set within a range of 0 ° <θ3 ≦ 10 °. In the present embodiment, this θ3 is set to about 3 °, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 4, the cutting insert 30 attached to the tool body 1 is moved in the one extending direction C1A from the other side where the cutting edge 32B is arranged to the one side where the cutting edge 32A is arranged. As it goes, it is arranged so as to be gradually inclined toward the lower surface 3B of the tool body 1.

  3 and 8 are top views of the cutting insert 30 viewed from the direction orthogonal to the tool virtual plane VS3. The cutting insert 30 has an angle θ1 formed by the insert width axis C2 and the rotation axis WO. It is set within the range of 90 ° ≦ θ1 ≦ 90.5 ° and is mounted on the insert mounting seat 4. In the present embodiment, the θ1 is set to about 90 °. Thereby, in this top view, the angle formed by the extension line of the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A parallel to the insert width axis C2 and the rotation axis WO is also θ1 (= 90 °). In FIG. 8, the angle θ4 formed by the insert longitudinal axis C1 and the rotation axis WO is set within a range of 0 ° <θ4 <1 °. In the present embodiment, this θ4 is set to about 0.2 °. Specifically, the relationship between θ4 and θ1 is set to 1 °> θ4> θ1−90 °.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, when viewed from the direction orthogonal to the tool virtual plane VS3 and facing the rake face 33, the cutting insert 30 is connected to the other width direction C2A of the other cutting edge 32B. The corner portion 43C located on the opposite side is disposed on the other width direction C2A side of the corner portion 43A located on the opposite side of the one cutting edge 32A. That is, the corner portion 43A located on the one side surface 3C side (right side in FIG. 8) of the tool body 1 in one cutting edge 32A is one side surface than the corner portion 43C located on the one side surface 3C side in the other cutting edge 32B. It is arranged on the 3C side. In the present embodiment, the corner portion 43C located on the inner peripheral surface S side in the cutting edge 32B is separated from the inner peripheral surface S with respect to the corner portion 43A located on the inner peripheral surface S side in the cutting edge 32A. .

  Further, by adjusting the above-described θ1 to θ4, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 11, the pair of corner portions 43A and 43B in one of the cutting edges 32A is made to be a work material virtual plane VS4 perpendicular to the rotation axis WO. Can be placed on top. In the present embodiment, the angles θ2 and θ3 are adjusted to be set to an angle θ1 = 90 °, whereby the pair of corner portions 43A and 43B are arranged on the work material virtual plane VS4. Specifically, in the cutting edge 32A, the virtual circle VC1 obtained by rotating the corner portion 43A around the rotation axis WO and the virtual circle VC2 obtained by rotating the corner portion 43B around the rotation axis WO are both cut. It is included in the material virtual plane VS4. The outer circumference (trajectory) of the virtual circle VC1 coincides with the outer peripheral edge portion of the groove bottom D of the groove formed in the work material W, and the outer periphery of the virtual circle VC2 coincides with the inner peripheral edge portion of the groove bottom D. . Further, the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A is arranged on the work material virtual plane VS4 in any part located between the corner part 43A and the corner part 43B.

  In the present embodiment, the cutting insert 30 of the tool body 1 having the above-described configuration is arranged in a close proximity so that the corner portion 43A of one of the cutting edges 32A is in contact with the inner peripheral surface S of the work material W. The cutting edge 32A moves in the grooving direction XA toward the rotation axis WO direction of the work material W along the inner peripheral surface S, and grooving is performed with respect to the inner surface B facing the proximal end side of the tool body 1 Process.

  As described above, according to the cutting edge replaceable grooving tool 10 and the end surface grooving method using the same according to the present embodiment, the tip 3 of the tool body 1 is directed toward the inner surface B of the work material W. The front cutting edge 41 of one cutting edge 32A of the cutting insert 30 protruding in parallel is made parallel to the insert width axis C2, and the rotation of the workpiece W gradually rotates toward the other width direction C2A. Since it inclines toward the front side of direction WT, the discharge property of the chip which one cutting edge 32A cut is improved.

  That is, since the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A is set as described above, the chips cut by the cutting edge 32A are on the other side 3D side of the tool body 1 (on the side opposite to the inner peripheral surface S). It is discharged toward the rotation axis WO side). As a result, the chip discharge performance is improved, and the chips come into contact with the inner peripheral surface S of the work material W located on the one side surface 3C side of the tool main body 1 or chip accumulation occurs in the vicinity of the inner peripheral surface S. This prevents the processing accuracy.

  Further, the insert longitudinal axis C1 of the cutting insert 30 is inclined so as to gradually approach the tool virtual plane VS3 toward the one extending direction C1A and extends toward the lower surface side of the insert body 31. That is, since the other cutting edge 32B is separated toward the upper surface side of the insert body 31 with respect to the tool virtual plane VS3, the wedge angle β of the one cutting edge 32A (the rake face 33 and the front clearance in FIG. 4). The angle formed with the surface 51 can be set relatively large. Therefore, the cutting edge strength of one of the cutting edges 32A for grooving the work material W is sufficiently secured.

  Further, according to such a mounting posture of the cutting insert 30, the thickness of the lower jaw portion 7 that supports the cutting insert 30 can be sufficiently secured at the distal end portion 3 of the tool body 1, and the mechanical strength of the distal end portion 3 is ensured. Is increased. Further, it is possible to prevent the front flank 51 connected to the front cutting edge 41 of the cutting edge 32A from being separated from the groove bottom D and coming into contact with the groove bottom D.

  In addition, one corner portion 43C located on the opposite side to the other width direction C2A in the other cutting edge 32B is compared with one corner portion 43A located on the opposite side in the one cutting edge 32A. It arrange | positions at the other width direction C2A side. Accordingly, as in the present embodiment, the inner surface S of the cylindrical hole H formed around the rotation axis WO of the workpiece W is grooved into the inner surface B of the processed hole H. When processing (inner diameter side end face grooving), the following effects are exhibited.

  That is, one corner portion 43 </ b> A of one cutting edge 32 </ b> A of the cutting insert 30 is disposed close to the inner peripheral surface S of the work material W, and the cutting insert 30 is arranged along the inner peripheral surface S. When grooving by moving in the grooving direction XA, one corner portion 43C of the other cutting edge 32B is separated from the inner peripheral surface S, and the corner portion 43C comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface S. It is surely prevented from being damaged. Further, the contact prevents the other unused cutting edge 32B from being damaged.

  Further, regardless of the depth d1 of the back surface B of the work material W shown in FIG. 3, the one corner portion 43C of the other cutting edge 32B is separated from the inner peripheral surface S of the work material W, and this corner portion. It is reliably prevented that 43C contacts and damages the inner peripheral surface S.

  Further, when attention is paid to the groove bottom D of the work material W to be cut by one of the cutting edges 32A, the rotation direction in which the work material W is gradually rotated as the insert width axis C2 of the cutting insert 30 moves toward the other width direction C2A. Inclining toward the front side of the WT, inclining toward the lower surface side of the insert body 31 so that the insert longitudinal axis C1 approaches the virtual tool plane VS3 toward the one extending direction C1A, and One groove portion 43C of the other cutting edge 32B is disposed on the other width direction C2A side of the other cutting edge 32A than the one corner portion 43A of the other cutting edge 32A. It is formed with an inclination close to perpendicular to the rotation axis WO. That is, the angle α of the groove bottom D in FIG. 28 is formed to be relatively small, and the machining accuracy of the groove cut into the work material W is increased.

  Further, the pair of side surface cutting edges 42, 42 provided in each of the cutting edges 32A, 32B are formed to be inclined so as to gradually narrow each other as they go from the outside in the extending direction of the insert body 31 toward the center side. Therefore, the processing accuracy of the groove wall in the processed groove is ensured. That is, even if the mounting posture of the cutting insert 30 with respect to the tool body 1 is set as described above, the one cutting edge 32A is opposite to the inner circumferential surface S side of the workpiece W (that is, the other width direction C2A). The side cutting edge 42 arranged on the side) does not come into contact with the opening edge of the groove wall on the opposite side of the groove formed in the work material W.

  In addition, when the cutting insert 30 is viewed from the direction orthogonal to the tool virtual plane VS3, an angle θ1 formed by the insert width axis C2 along the width direction of the insert body 31 and the rotation axis WO of the workpiece W is 90 ° ≦ θ1. ≦ 90.5 ° is set. Accordingly, in FIG. 8, the angle θ4 at which the insert longitudinal axis C1 along the extending direction of the insert body 31 is inclined with respect to the rotation axis WO of the work material W is a value obtained by subtracting 90 ° from the angle θ1 ( That is, it is set to a value slightly larger than (θ1-90 °) while being approximated to (θ1-90 °). In the present embodiment, the inner peripheral surface S of the work material W is formed in parallel with the rotation axis WO, and the cutting insert 30 has a slightly longer insert longitudinal axis C1 than the inner peripheral surface S of the work material W. While being inclined, the tool body 1 is mounted so as to be substantially parallel. Accordingly, as described above, one corner portion 43C of the other cutting edge 32B is reliably separated from the inner peripheral surface S to ensure the processing accuracy of the inner peripheral surface S, and the inner surface B of the work material W is secured. It is possible to ensure the processing accuracy of the groove bottom D in the groove to be formed. Specifically, by setting the angle θ1 within the above-described range, the groove bottom D of the grooved work material W is formed substantially perpendicular to the rotation axis WO. Has been increased.

  Further, as in the present embodiment, when the pair of corner portions 43A, 43B in the one cutting edge 32A is disposed on the work material virtual plane VS4 perpendicular to the rotation axis WO of the work material W, The groove bottom D of the work material W to be cut with one of the cutting edges 32A can be reliably formed perpendicular to the rotation axis WO. Therefore, the finishing accuracy of the groove of the work material W is sufficiently ensured.

  Thus, in the inner diameter side end face grooving process using the above-described blade edge exchange type grooving tool 10, adjacent to the inner surface B of the processing hole H formed in the work material W to form a cylindrical hole shape, Even when the inner peripheral surface S parallel to the rotation axis WO is formed, the inner diameter side end face grooving can be performed with high accuracy regardless of the position of the inner surface B to be grooved.
