Cutting tool

A cutting tool for machining, the cutting tool comprising:

• a cutting edge with a chip-forming depression which runs along the cutting edge;
• and
• raised chip-forming elements arranged in the chip-forming depression, wherein the raised chip-forming elements have an elongated contour with a length which is greater than a width, in plan view, the chip-forming elements have a rising flank and a falling flank, wherein the rising flank, which is longer by comparison, is defined by a rising angle of 3° to 20°, and a falling angle of between 25° and 45°, the transition from the rising flank to the falling flank is rounded as a rounded portion and a radius of the rounded portion is between 0.05 mm and 1 mm, wherein at a distance from the cutting edge and behind the chip-forming depression, as viewed in the direction of chip travel, a flank rising to a central raised plateau is provided.

A cutting tool for machining, the cutting tool comprising:

• a cutting edge with a chip-forming depression extending along the cutting edge;
• and
• raised chip-forming elements arranged in the chip-forming depression, wherein the raised chip-forming elements have an elongated contour with a length and a width, the length being greater than the width, wherein, in plan view, the chip-forming elements have a rising flank and a falling flank, wherein the rising flank is defined by a rising angle of 3° to 20°, and a falling angle of between 25° and 45°, the transition from the rising flank to the falling flank is rounded as a rounded portion and a radius of the rounded portion is between 0.05 mm and 1 mm, the rising flank having a length that is greater than a length of the falling flank, wherein the chip-forming elements are aligned on a line extending parallel to the cutting edge, wherein an orientation of the chip-forming elements is inclined by 10° to 20° to a direction of chip travel.
