Abstract
A cutting insert for a cutting or breaking tool, which can be mounted in a tool holder that can be rotated about its longitudinal axis, especially for a lathe chisel, has an essentially conical tip, a transition region and a foot for connecting to a tool body, wherein the transition region has several spatial areas which are distributed over its periphery and adjoin one another forming spatial and cutting edges.
Claims16
A cutting insert having a longitudinal axis for mounting in a lathe chisel body which body rotates about the longitudinal axis comprising:
- a substantially conical tip;
- a transition region connected to the substantially conical tip having a periphery, an even number plurality of concavely curved spatial areas and a plurality of cutting edges;
- and
- a foot, connected to the transition region, for connecting with the lathe chisel body;
- wherein the plurality of spatial areas are distributed over the periphery of the transition region and adjoin one another to form the plurality of cutting edges.
A tool having a longitudinal axis comprising:
- a head;
- a tool body having a shaft cooperating with the head and configured for rotatable mounting;
- and
- a cutting insert including:
- a substantially conical tip;
- a transition region connected to the substantially conical tip, having a periphery, an even number plurality of concavely curved spatial areas and a plurality of cutting edges;
- and
- a foot connected to the transition region and fixedly connected with the head;
- wherein the plurality of spatial areas are distributed over the periphery of the transition region and adjoin one another to form the plurality of cutting edges.
A cutting insert for mounting in a lathe chisel body which rotates about a longitudinal axis comprising:
- a substantially conical tip;
- a transition region, connected to the substantially conical tip, having a periphery, an even number plurality of concavely curved spatial areas and a plurality of cutting edges;
- and
- a foot connected to the transition region;
- wherein the plurality of spatial areas are distributed over the periphery of the transition region and adjoin one another to form the plurality of cutting edges.
A cutting insert having a longitudinal axis comprising:
- a substantially conical tip;
- a transition region, connected to the substantially conical tip, having a periphery, six concavely curved spatial areas and a plurality of cutting edges;
- and
- a foot connected to the transition region;
- wherein the six spatial areas are distributed over the periphery of the transition region and adjoin one another to form the plurality of cutting edges.
A lathe chisel having a longitudinal axis comprising:
- a head;
- a tool body having a shaft cooperating with the head and configured for rotatable mounting;
- and
- a cutting insert including:
- a substantially conical tip;
- a transition region connected to the substantially conical tip, having a periphery, an even number plurality of concavely curved spatial areas and a plurality of cutting edges;
- and
- a foot connected to the transition region and fixedly connected with the head;
- wherein the plurality of spatial areas are distributed over the periphery of the transition region and adjoin one another to form the plurality of cutting edges, and the spatial areas are inclined to enclose a first angle that is less than 45 degrees with the longitudinal axis adjacent said substantially conical tip and extend toward said foot.
