Abstract
An insert includes a main body extending from a first end toward a second end. The main body includes a cutting edge, a rake face, and a flute. In the rake face, a second rake angle of a second surface region positioned closer to the second end than a first surface region connected to the cutting edge is smaller than a first rake angle of the first surface region. A third rake angle of a third surface region is smaller than the second rake angle, the third surface region being adjacent to the flute rearward in a rotational direction and on an outer peripheral side of the main body.
Claims7
A cutting insert comprising:
- a main body extending from a first end toward a second end along a rotational axis, wherein
- the main body comprises
- a cutting edge positioned on a side of the first end,
- a rake face extending from the cutting edge toward the second end, and
- a flute extending from the rake face toward the second end,
- the rake face comprises
- a first surface region connected to the cutting edge and having a first rake angle,
- a second surface region positioned closer to the second end than the first surface region and having a second rake angle, and
- a third surface region positioned closer to the second end than the second surface region and having a third rake angle,
- the flute is positioned closer to the second end than the second surface region,
- the third surface region is adjacent to the flute rearward in a rotational direction about the rotational axis and on a side of an outer peripheral of the main body,
- the second rake angle is smaller than the first rake angle, and
- the third rake angle is smaller than the second rake angle.
The cutting insert according to claim 11 or 2, wherein,
- in side view, the boundary between the rake face and the flute is convex toward the first end.
