[0014] The first blade 3 is provided with a chipping groove 5, which is evenly provided on the side of the first blade 3, and the two ends of the chipping groove 5 penetrate the first blade 3. In this embodiment, the cross section of the chipping groove 5 is dovetail-shaped. Adding the chipping groove 5 to the first blade 3 can reduce the force area during cutting, thereby reducing the cutting load of the tool while reducing the processing noise, and increasing the service life of the tool. The second blade 4 is a complete blade, so that the surface cuts caused by the chipping groove 5 can be covered, and the burrs of the product during the processing of the other blades can be removed, so as to ensure the quality requirements of the processed surface S3, calculate the Y-axis processing stroke of the lathe.
