Abstract
A cutting insert is removably mountable on an insert seat formed in a peripheral of a tool body rotated around an axis O and of substantial disc shape. The cutting insert includes a substantially planar insert body of a substantially square shape in plan view, a flank at an upper face of the body, a rake face at a side of the body intersecting with the flank, and a cutting edge at an intersection ridge between the rake face and the flank. The cutting edge is a substantial involute in side view of the body, the rake face is inclined to an inside of the body from an upper toward a lower face, and at least a front end arranged in a peripheral of the tool body is concave constituting a part of a substantially conical side face.
Claims4
A cutting insert for removably mounting on an insert mounting seat formed in an outer peripheral portion of a substantially disc-shaped tool body which is rotated around an axis line, comprising:
- a substantially planar insert body;
- a flank provided on an upper face of the insert body;
- a rake face provided on a side face of the insert body to intersect with the flank;
- and
- a cutting edge provided in an intersection ridge line portion between the rake face and the flank, wherein:
- the cutting edge is formed in a substantially involute curved line shape in a side face view of the insert body,
- the rake face is inclined to an inside of the insert body from an upper face toward a lower face thereof, and
- at least a front end portion of the rake face arranged in an outer peripheral side of the tool body is formed in a concave curved face shape constituting a part of a substantially conical side face.
