Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a cutting tool capable of expanding a range in which adjustment work can be readily performed and reducing manufacturing cost. Provided is a cutting tool including: a cartridge to which a cutting member having a cutting edge is fixed; a body having at least one cartridge mounting part in which the cartridge is installed; and an adjustment plate installed between walls or a bottom surface constituting the cartridge mounting part and the cartridge, wherein the walls or the bottom surface of the cartridge mounting part has a recessed part for housing the adjustment plate.
Claims16
A cutting tool, comprising:
- a body having a cartridge mounting part, the cartridge mounting part including a wall or a bottom surface;
- a recessed part formed on the wall or the bottom surface of the cartridge mounting part;
- a cartridge positioned on the cartridge mounting part;
- a first hole formed in the cartridge mounting part;
- a second hole extending entirely through the cartridge to be in communication with the first hole;
- a cutting member having a cutting edge fixed to the cartridge;
- and
- an adjustment plate installed in the recessed part such that the wall or the bottom surface constituting the cartridge mounting part is on a first side of the adjustment plate, and both the first hole and the second hole are on a second, opposite side of the adjustment plate from the first side.
A cutting tool, comprising:
- a cartridge for fixing a cutting member having a cutting edge;
- and
- a body for fixing the cartridge,
- the cutting tool cutting a cut material with the cutting edge by rotating the body around a rotational axis, wherein
- the body includes a cartridge holding part provided with a first flat surface part having a first flat surface which is parallel to the rotational axis, a second flat surface part having a second flat surface which intersects the rotational axis, and a third flat surface part having a third flat surface which intersects the first flat surface and the second flat surface and on which a hole including female screw threads is formed,
- the cartridge includes, when fixed to the body, a fourth flat surface part having a fourth flat surface which is parallel to the first flat surface, a fifth flat surface part having a fifth flat surface which is parallel to the second flat surface, and a sixth flat surface part having a sixth flat surface which is parallel to the third flat surface and on which is formed a through hole to be penetrated by a male screw that screws with the female screw threads,
- the first flat surface is provided in a recessed part formed in the first flat surface part,
- the cartridge is configured to be fixable to the body via an adjustment plate having a major surface which is parallel to the first flat surface and the fourth flat surface in a gap between the first flat surface and the fourth flat surface, and
- the through hole is formed as an elongated hole which is long in a normal direction of the fourth flat surface.
A cutting tool, comprising:
- a body having a cartridge mounting part, the cartridge mounting part including a wall or a bottom surface;
- a recessed part formed on the wall or the bottom surface of the cartridge mounting part;
- a cartridge positioned on the cartridge mounting part;
- a cutting member having a cutting edge fixed to the cartridge;
- an adjustment plate installed in the recessed part between the wall or the bottom surface constituting the cartridge mounting part and the cartridge;
- and
- a fastener extending through the cartridge and into the cartridge mounting part, the fastener positioned entirely on one side of the adjustment plate and spaced away from the adjustment plate along an entire length of the fastener.
