Abstract

A cutting insert may include a base body, a first part and a second part. The base body may include a first surface, a second surface, a first lateral surface, a second lateral surface, a first recess and a second recess. The first part may be located in the first recess. The second part may be located in the second recess. The first recess may include a first bottom surface, a first wall surface and a first valley line located on an intersection of the first bottom surface and the first wall surface. The second recess may include a second bottom surface, a second wall surface and a second valley line located on an intersection of the second bottom surface and the second wall surface. The first valley line may intersect with the second valley line in a perspective view of the first surface.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting insert, comprising:
a base body comprising
a first surface,
a second surface located on a side opposite to the first surface,
a first lateral surface connecting to the first surface and the second surface,
a second lateral surface connecting to the first surface, the second surface and the first lateral surface,
a first recess opening into the first surface, the first lateral surface and the second lateral surface, and
a second recess opening into the second surface, the first lateral surface and the second lateral surface;

a first part located in the first recess and comprising a first cutting edge located at an intersection of two adjacent surfaces; and
a second part located in the second recess and comprising a second cutting edge located at an intersection of two adjacent surfaces, wherein
the first recess comprises
a first bottom surface located away from the first surface,
a first wall surface located between the first bottom surface and the first surface, and
a first valley line located on an intersection of the first bottom surface and the first wall surface,

the second recess comprises
a second bottom surface located away from the second surface,
a second wall surface located between the second bottom surface and the second surface, and
a second valley line located on an intersection of the second bottom surface and the second wall surface, and

in a transparent plan view of the first surface, the first valley line is different from the second valley line and the first valley line intersects with the second valley line.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a first width in a direction along the first lateral surface from the first wall surface to a first corner is larger than a second width in a direction along the second lateral surface from the first wall surface to the first corner in a front view of the first surface.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
the first part comprises a first corner having a triangular shape in a front view of the first surface, and
the first valley line intersects with the second valley line on a bisector of the first corner in the transparent plan view of the first surface.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein
a line passing through a center of the first surface and a center of the second surface is a central axis,
a plane that is located between the first recess and the second recess and orthogonal to the central axis is an imaginary plane,
the first bottom surface is closer to the imaginary plane as further away from the second lateral surface in a front view of the first lateral surface, and
the second bottom surface is closer to the imaginary plane as further away from the first lateral surface in a front view of the second lateral surface.

5. The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein
the second bottom surface is closer to the imaginary plane as further away from the second lateral surface in the front view of the first lateral surface, and
the first bottom surface is closer to the imaginary plane as further away from the first lateral surface in the front view of the second lateral surface.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 5 , wherein
an angle at which an imaginary extension line of the first bottom surface intersects with the imaginary plane is a first inclination angle in the front view of the first lateral surface,
an angle at which the imaginary extension line of the first bottom surface intersects with the imaginary plane is a second inclination angle in the front view of the second lateral surface, and
the first inclination angle is equal to the second inclination angle.

7. The cutting insert according to claim 4 , wherein
a height of the second bottom surface from the imaginary plane is kept constant in the front view of the first lateral surface, and
a height of the first bottom surface from the imaginary plane is kept constant in the front view of the second lateral surface.

8. A cutting tool, comprising:
a holder having a bar shape extended from a first end toward a second end and comprising a pocket located on a side of the first end; and
the cutting insert according to claim 1 , the cutting insert being located in the pocket.

9. A method for manufacturing a machined product, comprising:
rotating a workpiece;
bringing the cutting tool according to claim 8 into contact with the workpiece being rotated; and
moving the cutting tool away from the workpiece.
