Abstract

In an embodiment, a cutting insert includes a body member and a cutting member. The body member is a columnar body, and includes: an upper surface; a lower surface; and an outer side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface. The cutting member is located at a corner part of the outer side surface in the body member. The cutting member includes: at least three surfaces being exposed; and a cutting edge at an intersecting portion of two of the at least three surfaces. The body member includes a through hole penetrating through the upper surface and the lower surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting insert, comprising:
a body member having a columnar shape, and comprising:
an upper surface comprising at least one corner part;
a lower surface opposed to the upper surface;
a side surface between the upper surface and the lower surface, comprising:
a front side surface;
an outer side surface;
an inner side surface opposed to the outer side surface; and
a corner region located between the front side surface and the outer side surface; and

a through hole penetrating through the center of the upper surface and the center of the lower surface; and

a cutting member located at the corner region, and comprising:
at least three surfaces; and
a cutting edge at an intersecting portion of two of the at least three surfaces,

the cutting edge comprises:
a first cutting edge extending in a direction from the upper surface toward the lower surface; and
a second cutting edge extending in a direction along the lower surface,

wherein, in a plan view of the lower surface, a first distance between the through hole and the front side surface is greater than a second distance between the front side surface and a rear end of the cutting member,
wherein the cutting member does not touch the upper surface,
wherein a third distance between the second cutting edge and the upper surface is greater than a fourth distance between the upper surface and the lower surface,
wherein the lower surface comprises a protruding part, and
wherein the third distance is greater than a fifth distance between the upper surface and the protruding part.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the first cutting edge protrudes sideward from the body member.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein in a plan view of the front side surface,
the body member comprises:
a first part including the corner region;
a second part that does not include the protruding part; and
a sixth distance between the second part and the outer side surface is larger than a seventh distance between the outer side surface and the first part, and

wherein a thickness of the first part is larger than a thickness of the second part.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding part and the through hole overlap in a plan view of the front side surface.

5. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a sixth distance between the through hole and the outer side surface is greater than a seventh distance between the outer side surface and the cutting member.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the upper surface is flat.

7. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding part is closer to the outer side surface than the inner side surface.

8. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the body member further comprises a rear side surface opposed to the front side surface, and
the protruding part is spaced apart from the rear side surface.

9. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the body member further comprises a rear side surface opposed to the front side surface, and
a width of the protruding part along the direction from the upper surface toward the lower surface decreases as the protruding part approaches the rear side surface from the front side surface.
