Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cutting tool including: a tool body ( 2 ) provided with an insert support seat ( 5 ) including a major seat surface ( 5 a ) that supports a bearing surface of a cutting insert, a plurality of seat side surfaces ( 5 b, 5 c ) that supports side surfaces of the cutting insert at different positions, and a thinned portion ( 5 d ) continuous with the major seat surface and the seat side surfaces; and a cutting insert attached to the insert support seat, wherein a ridge at a position where the major seat surface and the thinned portion intersect, a ridge at a position where the seat side surface and the thinned portion intersect, and a ridge at a position where the thinned portions continuous with each other intersect are each formed of a convex arc curved surface.

The invention claimed is: 1. A cutting tool comprising: a tool body provided with an insert support seat including a major seat surface that supports a bearing surface of a cutting insert, a plurality of seat side surfaces that support side surfaces of the cutting insert at different positions, and a thinned portion continuous with the major seat surface and the seat side surfaces; and a cutting insert attached to the insert support seat, wherein the thinned portion includes a first thinned portion, a second thinned portion, a third thinned portion and a fourth thinned portion, and the second thinned portion intersects with the first thinned portion, the third thinned portion and the fourth thinned portion, wherein a ridge at a position where the major seat surface and the first thinned portion intersect, a ridge at a position where the seat side surface and the second thinned portion intersect, and a ridge at a position where the second thinned portion and the first, third and fourth thinned portions intersect are each formed of a convex arc curved surface. 2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the convex arc curved surface has a radius of 0.1 mm or greater and 1.0 mm or less in a longitudinal perpendicular section. 3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the thinned portion disposed between the major seat surface and the seat side surface includes a recessed arc curved surface having a radius r of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm in a longitudinal perpendicular section. 4. A tool body provided with an insert support seat including a major seat surface that supports a bearing surface of a cutting insert, a plurality of seat side surfaces that support side surfaces of the cutting insert at different positions, and a thinned portion continuous with the major seat surface and the seat side surfaces, wherein the thinned portion includes a first thinned portion, a second thinned portion, a third thinned portion and a fourth thinned portion, and the second thinned portion intersects with the first thinned portion, the third thinned portion and the fourth thinned portion, wherein a ridge at a position where the major seat surface and the first thinned portion intersect, a ridge at a position where the seat side surface and the second thinned portion intersect, and a ridge at a position where the second thinned portion and the first, third and fourth thinned portions intersect are each formed of a convex arc curved surface. 5. The tool body according to claim 4 , wherein the convex arc curved surface has a radius of 0.1 mm or greater and 1.0 mm or less in a longitudinal perpendicular section. 6. The tool body according to claim 4 , wherein a thinned portion disposed between the major seat surface and the seat side surface includes a recessed arc curved surface having a radius r of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm in a longitudinal perpendicular section.
