Abstract
The present invention relates to a cutting insert (10;10';10";10"') adapted to be mounted in a holder (11), said insert (10;10';10";10"') being used for parting of details rotating about its longitudinal axis, e.g. rods and tubes, and that the insert has a leading cutting edge angle (H). The characteristic for the invention is that the first face (15;15';15";15"') and/or the rake face (18;18';18";18"') are inclined in the transverse direction of the insert.
Claims11
A cutting insert adapted to be mounted in a holder and including a cutting edge for parting a rotary workpiece;
- said insert defining a front-to-rear direction which lies in both first and second planes, said first imaginary plane bisecting said insert and intersecting said cutting edge, said second imaginary plane oriented perpendicularly to said first imaginary plane;
- said cutting edge disposed at a front end of said insert and forming a first acute angle with a line which lies in said second imaginary plane and which extends perpendicular to said first plane as viewed in a direction perpendicular to said second imaginary plane;
- said first acute angle constituting a leading angle of said cutting edge resulting in said cutting edge being acted upon by a first reaction force having a first component directed perpendicular to said first imaginary plane as viewed in a direction perpendicular to said second imaginary plane;
- at least a portion of said cutting edge forming a second acute angle with said second imaginary plane, said second acute angle oriented such that said cutting edge is acted upon by a second reaction force having a second component opposing said first component to counteract at least a portion of said first component.
A cutting insert adapted to be mounted in a holder and including a cutting edge for parting a rotary workpiece;
- said insert defining a front-to-rear direction which lies in both first and second planes, said first imaginary plane bisecting said insert and intersecting said cutting edge, said second imaginaary plane oriented perpendicularly to said first imaginary plane;
- said cutting edge disposed at a front end of said insert and forming a first acute angle with a line which lies in said second imaginary plane and which extends perpendicular to said first plane as viewed in a direction perpendicular to said second imaginary plane;
- said first acute angle constituting a leading angle of said cutting edge resulting in said cutting edge being acted upon by a first reaction force having a first component directed perpendicular to said first imaginary plane as viewed in a direction perpendicular to said second imaginary plane;
- said cutting edge lying on a first face disposed on a top of said insert, a rake face disposed behind said cutting edge and forming an additional acute angle with said second imaginary plane, said additional acute angle resulting in said rake face being acted upon by an additional reaction force having a component opposing said first component to counteract at least a portion of said first component.
