Cutting tool for a bar peeling operation

A tool for removing material from a workpiece, the tool comprising a tool body having an inner diameter through which a workpiece can be guided and at least one roughing head and at least one finishing head, the finishing head producing a smoother workpiece finish than the roughing head, the roughing head comprising a holder containing at least first and second roughing inserts, the first roughing insert having a cutting edge which extends a first distance (R1) from a reference in the tool body, the second roughing insert having a cutting edge which extends a second distance (R2) from the reference in the tool body, the first distance (R1) being less than the second distance (R2).

A cutting tool adapted for a bar peeling operation, the cutting tool comprising a tool body having an inner diameter through which a bar can be guided and at least two roughing heads and at least two finishing heads, the finishing heads producing a smoother bar finish than the roughing heads, the roughing heads each comprising a holder containing at least first and second roughing inserts, the first roughing insert having a cutting edge which extends a first distance (R1) from a reference in the tool body, the second roughing insert having a cutting edge which extends a second distance (R2) from the reference in the tool body, the first distance (R1) being less than the second distance (R2) by the amount required to produce small chips or coils, and the finishing heads each comprising a holder containing at least first and second finishing inserts, the first finishing insert having a cutting edge which extends a fourth distance (F1) from the reference in the tool body, the second finishing insert having a cutting edge which extends a fifth distance (F2) from the reference in the tool body, the fourth distance (F1) being less than the fifth distance (P2) by the amount required to produce small chips or coils.

A tool for removing material from a workpiece, the tool comprising a tool body having an inner diameter through which a workpiece can be guided and at least one roughing head and at least one finishing head, the roughing head being located axially forward of the finishing head, the finishing head producing a smoother workpiece finish than the roughing head, the finishing head comprising a holder containing at least first and second finishing inserts, the first finishing insert having a cutting edge which extends a first distance (F1) from a reference in the tool body, the second finishing insert having a cutting edge which extends a second distance (F2) from the reference in the tool body, the first distance (F1) being less than the second distance (F2) to produce small chips or coils.
