Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A controller performs a first process of scanning a cylindrical irradiation region including a focused spot of laser light emitted from a laser light emitter to machine a flank face side of a workpiece to manufacture a cutting tool having a plurality of cutting edges arranged in line. In the first process, the controller scans the cylindrical irradiation region along a scanning path that has periodicity and changes a machining depth to form the plurality of cutting edges. The controller further performs a second process of scanning the cylindrical irradiation region including the focused spot of the laser light emitted in a direction different from an irradiation direction of the laser light in the first process to machine a rake face side of the workpiece.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a cutting tool having a plurality of cutting edges arranged in line by machining a workpiece, the method comprising: a process of scanning a cylindrical irradiation region including a focused spot of laser light that has been emitted in an irradiation direction to machine a flank face side of the workpiece, wherein in the process, the cylindrical irradiation region is scanned along a scanning path that has periodicity and changes a machining depth to form the plurality of cutting edges, and the scanning path having periodicity results from alternately connecting a first path on which the cylindrical irradiation region is moved relative to the workpiece in a direction in which the machining depth increases and a second path on which the cylindrical irradiation region is moved relative to the workpiece in a direction in which the machining depth decreases, the irradiation direction of the laser light being different between the first path and the second path. 2. The method of manufacturing a cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein in the process, the plurality of cutting edges are formed to have cutting edge tips arranged at equal intervals. 3. The method of manufacturing a cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the scanning path is a periodic wavy path. 4. The method of manufacturing a cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the workpiece is a material that results from diamond-coating a tool base material.
