A cutting insert intended exemplarily for use in a face-milling cutter, has an all-around extending rake surface which changes into a plateau surface by an uninterrupted step. The step reaches its greatest height in the corner regions of the cutting insert. The rake surface defines a positive rake angle. The step prevents the produced chips from running onto the plateau surface. As a result of such a measure, a smear-on of material onto the plateau surface from a chip is prevented.

A metal workpiece is cut by rotating the workpiece while pressing the cutting edge of a cutting insert thereagainst for removing a chip from the workpiece. A first liquid jet is directed from a first nozzle toward an upper surface of the cutting insert for creating an hydraulic wedge between the cutting insert and the chip, and a second liquid jet is directed from a second nozzle toward a target point disposed above the upper surface of the cutting insert to engage and deflect the chip upwards and backwards.

A double-sided, indexable face milling insert, including an upperside, an underside, and a neutral plane (NP) parallel to the upperside and the underside, the neutral plane forming a right angle with a geometrical center axis (C2). A plurality of indexable cutting edges are formed along circumferential borderlines in transitions between a number of clearance surfaces and the upperside as well as the underside.

The present invention provides a drill comprising: a drill main body rotatable about an axis of rotation, and having a tip end with a tip flank and a shank; a chip discharge flute formed on a periphery of the drill main body, and extending from the tip end toward the shank of the drill main body; and a cutting edge formed along an intersecting ridge where a wall surface of the chip discharge flute facing in the direction of drill rotation intersects the tip flank of the drill main body, wherein the cutting edge comprises a convex cutting edge toward the periphery and a concave cutting edge smoothly extending from the convex cutting edge. When drilling work is performed with this drill, the chips are generally curled and can be smoothly discharged without being excessively abutted against the wall surface of the chip discharge flute; consequently, the chips can be smoothly discharged, and the drill main body is subjected to less frictional resistance, which leads to less wear on the drill and less driving torque for drilling. Therefore, the drill life can be preferably extended even under severe drilling conditions, such as during high speed drilling, and smooth and stable drilling can be performed.

A twist drill has a pair of concave-shaped main cutting edges continuous outwardly to respective center cutting edges, and a pair of corner cutting edges receding at an angle from the outer ends of the respective main cutting edges with respect to a drill rotation direction. Respective ends of the concave-shaped main cutting edges are situated on a straight line almost parallel to a plane passing through a drill axis. These cutting edges have a function of minimizing wear and chipping of corner portions and damage to leading edges in a drilling operation using no cutting oil, or a drilling operation wherein a very small amount of cutting oil is sprayed to the drill, or in a drilling operation on relatively hard steel. They also have a function of facilitating breaking of cut chips into pieces during a drilling operation using cutting oil and during a drilling operation on steel of relatively low hardness such as general structural rolled steels and low carbon steels.

An indexable insert has a rake face on which a first ridge (2) and a second ridge (3) are provided. The first ridge (2) protrudes from a boss surface (1) towards a nose, and the second ridge (3) extends continuously from the first ridge (2) to a slope (8) connected to a cutting-edge land (7) of a linear cutting edge (6). The second ridge (3) has a height lower than that of the first ridge (2) and is convex-curved towards a bisecting line (CL) of an apex angle of the nose in plan view, thereby achieving both enhanced chip processability and reduction of load received when raking a chip.

A shank cutter has plural circumferential cutting edges which run in a helical manner in the region of its cutting section and of which at least one critical number are equipped in each case with a preferably essentially flattened roughing profile with chip-separating grooves with rounded bases, so that the chip-separating grooves of cutter ridges which are adjacent in the circumferential direction are axially offset relative to each other. To create a tool which provides long service life by combined advantages of a vibration-stabilized finishing cutter and a conventional roughing cutter, at least one circumferential cutting edge has an angle of twist which differs from that of another circumferential cutting edge. In addition, the chip-separating grooves of the circumferential cuffing edges which are equipped with a roughing profile in each case merge into a preferably essentially flattened central section of the roughing profile by means of a predefined flank radius.

The flutes have a tapered depth along the longitudinal axis. Each blade includes a leading face, a trailing face, and a land surface that extends between the leading face and the trailing face. A plurality of chip-breaking features having a multi-radius profile are disposed in the land surfaces of the blades and are distributed in an offset chip breaker pattern among the blades such that each chip-breaking feature on one blade is not directly behind the chip-breaking features on immediately adjacent blades. The chip-breaking features on each blade are equidistant from each other.

A tool such as a drill or end mill has a central portion formed of a relatively tough hard material connected to an outer peripheral portion formed of relatively wear resistant hard material, i.e., the outer peripheral portion is more brittle and wear resistant than the central portion. The chip flutes of the tool are disposed only in the outer peripheral portion and thus are formed entirely of relatively wear resistant hard material.

A cryogenic fluid jet is used in an apparatus and a method for remote cooling of a cutting tool engaged in machining a workpiece under high-energy conditions, such as high-speed machining, hard-turning, cutting of difficult to machine materials, and combinations thereof. The apparatus and method use a stabilized, free-expanding cryogenic fluid jet having a pulse cycle time less than or equal to about 10 seconds. The apparatus and method increase the cleanliness of machined parts and chips and machining productivity of hard but brittle tools, including but not limited to tools which should not be cooled with conventional cooling fluids.
