Abstract

A cutting tool includes a cutting chip and a chip holder. The chip holder includes: a body part having a height dimension larger than a width dimension, the body part including a first attachment face that intersects with a cutting feed direction, and a second attachment face that intersects with the first attachment face; a chip support part whose base end portion is connected to the body part and in which the cutting chip is attached to the upper end portion in the height direction of a tip end portion of the chip support part such that the cutting chip projects to one side in the width direction of the chip support part; a reinforcement part provided along the height direction of the chip support part; and a chip receiving part that supports the cutting chip projecting from the chip support part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting tool comprising:
a cutting chip; and
a chip holder configured to hold the cutting chip, wherein
the chip holder includes
a body part having a height dimension larger than a width dimension, the body part including a first attachment face that intersects with a cutting feed direction, and a second attachment face that intersects with the first attachment face, the cutting feed direction is a length direction of the chip holder;
a chip support part whose base end portion is connected to the body part and in which the cutting chip is attached to an upper end portion in a height direction of a tip end portion of the chip support part such that the cutting chip projects to one side in a width direction of the chip support part that intersects with the length direction;
a reinforcement part provided along the height direction of the chip support part, the reinforcement part having a third attachment face arranged parallel to the first attachment face at a portion projecting from the body part;
a cutout portion formed in an intersection of the third attachment face and the second attachment face; and
a chip receiving part projecting to the one side in the width direction of the chip support part and configured to support the cutting chip projecting from the chip support part.

2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the reinforcement part is formed in a curved shape such that a cutting chip side of the reinforcement part is recessed.

3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the chip receiving part is formed in a tapered shape tapering downwardly in a height direction of the chip support part, and includes a flank formed on an upstream in the cutting feed direction of the cutting chip.

4. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting chip is fixed to the upper end portion of the chip support part with a fixing pin, and right-and-left sides of the cutting chip are respectively supported by right-and-left guide surfaces provided in the chip support part.

5. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting chip is formed in a tapered shape, and includes a cutting edge at a tip end corner portion of the tapered shape.
