Abstract
A method of manufacturing a machining tool in which an insert holder comprises a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, and a first insert tip slot extending between the first surface and the second surface. The first insert tip slot is configured so as to be compressed and densified to support a first insert tip. The insert holder further includes elevated projections extending from the first and second surfaces proximate the first insert tip slot.
Claims16
A method of manufacturing a machining tool cutting insert, comprising the steps of:
- providing an insert holder having a first insert tip slot and a first elevated projection proximate the first insert tip slot that is less than full density of a material of the insert holder;
- positioning a first cutting insert tip within the first insert tip slot;
- and
- compressing the insert holder to deform the first elevated projection to increase the density of the first elevated projection and to thereby secure the first cutting insert tip within the first insert tip slot.
