Definitions

• the present invention relates to an arrangement in cutting inserts of the type stated in the preamble of the claim.
• a characteristic feature of cutting inserts and recessing tools is their small extent in axial direc- tion.
• the small width prevents unnecessary waste of material during severing and facilitates plunge cutting of grooves of smaller width.
• One object of the invention is to provide a cutting insert designed to improve chip-forming and guiding in a variety of materials of different workability, the chips being guided away from the cutting area and gradually broken up, such that the risk of tool damages or deterioration of quality is reduced.
• a conventional tool for axial turning or facing can be of large extent in axial direction and cannot be used for severing or plunge cutting. In normal turning work, it is therefore necessary to use several types of tools.
• Another object of the invention is to provide a cutting insert which can be used both for radial plunge cutting, severing, axial plunge cutting and for axial turning in lateral direction, facing and copy-turning, i.e. a cutting insert which can operate in all directions in the plane under pro ⁇ duction conditions .
• a still further object is to provide a cutting insert which can also be used for turning of materials which normally require a large positive rake, for example high alloy stainless steel, acidproof steel, heat-resisting steel and non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper, brass etc.
• Fig. 1 is a side view of the preferred embodiment of the cutting insert
• Fig. 2 is a view from the cutting edge end of the same cutting insert
• Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the cutting insert
• Fig. 4 is a cross- sectional view taken along line A-A in Fig. 3.
• the cutting insert comprises, in the embodiment shown, a body of so-called cutting alloy or sintered material.
• the lower side of the cutting insert 1 is formed with a longitudinal ridge 2 to be received in a complementary groove in a recess formed in a cutting insert holder.
• the rear portion 3 of the cutting insert consists of a projection which is lower than the rest of the cutting insert, and the surface of this projec ⁇ tion extending substantially in parallel with the lower side is adapted to form an abutment for a clamp ⁇ ing arm mounted on the cutting insert holder and ac- tuated by a screw or the like to keep the cutting insert stable in the groove of the holder, the rear end surface 4 of the cutting insert being engaged with the rear wall of the recess of the holder.
• the lower portion 5 of the cutting insert which also comprises the projection 3 has substantially parallel lateral surfaces 6, but at the front portion of the cutting insert, the lateral surfaces 7 diverge upward- ly such that the lateral surfaces at the main section of the insert body portion ahead of the projection 3 are inclined outwardly, as seen from the underside. Also the front end surface 8 of the cutting insert is inclined outwardly, as seen in the same direction.
• the major cutting edge 9 of the cutting insert is formed at the upper edge of the front end surface 8 of the insert body at the location where this end surface meets the cutting surface 10. As seen from the major cutting edge 9, the cutting insert also has a rearwardly directed taper to allow clearance.
• the cutting surface is formed at its centre portion with a recess 11 which is designed to allow efficient chip forming and chip breaking.
• the cutting surface parts which are closest to the major cutting edge have lateral edges designed to form lateral cutting edges 12.
• the recess 11 formed in the cutting surface has a concave bottom surface 13 whose front end connects with the centre portion of the major cutting edge 9 and whose rear end connects with the cutting surface 10, and convex surfaces 14 which are outwardly in ⁇ clined as seen from the bottom, such that the concave bottom surface 13, starting from the end connecting with the major cutting edge, has a width which at first successively decreases and then sucessively increases.
• the wall portions defining the recess 11 in the lateral direction are formed with recesses 15 which are also concave and extend perpendicular to the lon ⁇ gitudinal direction of the cutting insert and which are shorter and more curved than the bottom 13 of the recess 11.
• the recesses 15 which are aligned with one another thus cut away arcuate areas at the sides of the central recess 11.
• the front section of the remaining cutting surface is formed of substantially planar areas 16 which connect with the major and lateral cutting edges 9 and 12 and are of small extent in the longitudinal direction of the cutting insert.
• the front end of the concave bottom 13 is located between said planar areas.
• the inclined convex sides 14 of the recess 11 which are cut by the concave lateral recesses 15, are designed such that the upper and lower edges of each side con- verge adjacent the major cutting edge 9.
• the bottom 13 and sides 14 of the central recess 11 extend, at their rear end, beyond the lateral re ⁇ Cons 15 which have a smaller radius than the concave bottom 13 of the central recess 11.
• the chip sides will strike and be guided by the areas 16 and the concave lateral recesses 15 and be bent in a smaller radius, while the chip centre extends into the central recess 11 which directly connects with the major cutting edge 9, and is bent in a larger radius, at the same time as a certain compression occurs in the transverse direction of the chip under the action of the convex lateral surfaces 14.
• the same cutting insert can be used for severing, copy-turning, lateral turning and facing in axial and axial/radial direction under production conditions, which has not proved possible with prior art cutting inserts.
