Abstract
Provided is an insert that has good positioning precision and sufficient rigidity. Said insert is rod-shaped and has: a shank part; cutting blades formed on both sides of the shank part; and raised surfaces that are positioned between the cutting blades and the shank part and bulge such that parts farther away from the cutting blades are progressively closer to the outer surface of the shank part. In a side view, the rake face of the cutting blade on one side and the raised surface on the other side are disposed in the same direction with respect to the axis of rotation of the shank part.
Claims8
A cutting tool, comprising:
- a holder with an insertion hole at a tip end part of the holder and with an adjustment member;
- an insert having a rod-shape, the insert having a first end and a second end and being inserted with its second end in the holder through the insertion hole, the insert further comprising:
- a shank part comprising a first end, a second end, a peripheral portion extending over some distance between the first end and the second end, and a center axis;
- a first cutting edge formed at the first end of the insert and a second cutting edge formed at the second end of the insert;
- a first rising surface located between the first cutting edge and the peripheral portion of the shank part, said first rising surface being inclined in a direction away from the first cutting edge from a position closer to the center axis towards the outer peripheral portion of the shank part;
- a second rising surface located between the second cutting edge and the peripheral portion of the shank part, said second rising surface being inclined in a direction away from the second cutting edge from a position closer to the center axis towards the outer peripheral portion of the shank part;
- a first rake face extending from the first cutting edge at the same inclination orientation as the second rising surface;
- and
- a second rake face extending from the first cutting edge at the same inclination orientation as the first rising surface;
- wherein
- the adjustment member is in abutting contact with the second rising surface of the insert for determining the position of the insert with respect to the holder, a threaded hole extends from an outer peripheral surface of the holder into the insertion hole, and a screw member is threaded into the screw hole to press and clamp the outer peripheral portion of the shank part of the insert by a front end of the screw member.
