Abstract
A cutting tool assembly and a method of manufacture. The cutting tool assembly may include a backing member made of a first material and a cutting member made of a second material. The second material may differ from the first material. The cutting member may be fixedly disposed on the backing member.
Claims20
A cutting tool assembly comprising:
- a backing member made of a first material, the backing member including:
- a first surface;
- a second surface disposed opposite the first surface;
- a first end surface that extends from the first surface to the second surface;
- and
- a second end surface that is disposed opposite the first end surface and that extends from the first surface to the second surface;
- and
- a cutting member that is fixedly disposed on the backing member and is made of a second material that differs from the first material, the cutting member including:
- a first cutting member surface;
- a second cutting member surface disposed opposite the first cutting member surface, wherein the second cutting member surface is disposed proximate the second surface;
- a first cutting member end surface that extends from the first cutting member surface to the second cutting member surface;
- and
- a second cutting member end surface disposed opposite the first cutting member end surface, wherein the second cutting member end surface extends from the first cutting member surface to the second cutting member surface.

A method of making a cutting tool assembly comprising:
- providing a backing member made of steel, the backing member including:
- a first surface;
- a second surface disposed opposite the first surface;
- a first end surface that extends from the first surface to the second surface;
- and
- a second end surface disposed opposite the first end surface, wherein the second end surface extends from the first surface to the second surface;
- providing a cutting member made of tungsten carbide, the cutting member including:
- a first cutting member surface;
- a second cutting member surface disposed opposite the first cutting member surface;
- a first cutting member end surface that extends from the first cutting member surface to the second cutting member surface;
- and
- a second cutting member end surface disposed opposite the first cutting member end surface, wherein the second cutting member end surface extends from the first cutting member surface to the second cutting member surface;
- positioning the cutting member on the backing member such that the second cutting member surface is disposed proximate the second surface;
- and
- joining the cutting member to the backing member such that the cutting member is fixedly positioned with respect to the backing member, wherein a thickness of the backing member from the first surface to the second surface is greater than a thickness of the cutting member from the first cutting member surface to the second cutting member surface.
