Abstract

In one embodiment, a holder includes a body part elongated from a first end part to a second end part along a rotation axis. The body part includes a first member, a second member, and a third member. The first member is located on a side of the first end part, and includes a pocket to receive a cutting insert. The second member is located closer to the second end part than the first member, and includes at least one cavity inside the second member. The third member is located closer to the second end part than the second member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A holder comprising a body part having an elongated shape extending along a rotation axis,
the body part comprising:
first and second end parts at both ends thereof;
a first member on a side of the first end part, comprising a pocket configured to receive a cutting insert;
a second member located closer to the second end part than the first member, and comprising at least one cavity inside the second member; and
a third member located closer to the second end part than the second member; wherein

the second member comprises a plurality of the cavities, and
a thickness of the second member between an outer peripheral surface and the cavities is larger than a thickness of the second member between the cavities located on a side of the rotation axis in a cross section orthogonal to the rotation axis.

2. The holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the body part further comprises a through hole penetrating from the third member to the pocket, and
wherein the through hole is away from the at least one cavity.

3. The holder according to claim 1 ,
wherein at least part of the cavities are located with rotational symmetry with respect to the rotation axis in a cross section orthogonal to the rotation axis.

4. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the cavity extends along the rotation axis.

5. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein a width of the cavity on a side of an outer peripheral surface is larger than a width of the cavity on a side of the rotation axis in a cross section orthogonal to the rotation axis.

6. A cutting tool, comprising:
a holder according to claim 1 ; and
a cutting insert comprising a cutting edge located at least a part of a ridge part where two surfaces intersect each other, the cutting insert being located at the pocket.

7. A method of manufacturing a machined product, comprising:
rotating a cutting tool according to claim 6 around the rotation axis;
bringing the cutting edge of the cutting tool being rotated into contact with a workpiece; and
moving the cutting tool away from the workpiece.
