Abstract

A cutting tool of the present disclosure may include a holder including a pocket, a shim member, a first screw and an insert. The shim member may include a first hole that opens into an outer side surface and an inner side surface. The pocket may include a second hole corresponding to the first hole. The first screw may be inserted into the first hole and the second hole. A first central axis of the first hole may be located ahead of a second central axis of the second hole in a rotation direction.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A cutting tool, comprising:
a holder having a columnar shape extended from a first end to a second end along a rotation axis, and comprising a pocket located on a side of the first end;
a shim member located in the pocket;
a first screw to fix the shim member to the pocket; and
an insert in contact with the shim member on a front side of a rotation direction of the rotation axis,
wherein the shim member comprises:
an outer side surface located on a side of an outer periphery of the holder,
an inner side surface located on a side opposite to the outer side surface and located closer to the rotation axis than the outer side surface,
a front side surface located on a front side in the rotation direction,
a rear side surface located on a side opposite to the front side surface, and
a first hole opening into the outer side surface and the inner side surface,
the pocket comprises a second hole corresponding to the first hole,
the first screw is inserted into the first hole and the second hole, and
a first central axis of the first hole is located ahead of a second central axis of the second hole in the rotation direction, such that the first central axis is offset from the second central axis in a circumferential direction before inserting and securing the first screw to the shim member and the pocket.

2. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the first central axis is located closer to the first end than the second central axis, in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

3. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a second screw to fix the shim member to the pocket, wherein
the shim member further comprises a third hole which opens into the outer side surface and the inner side surface,
the third hole is located closer to the first end than the first hole,
the pocket further comprises a fourth hole corresponding to the third hole,
the second screw is inserted into the third hole and the fourth hole, and
a third central axis of the third hole is located ahead of a fourth central axis of the fourth hole in the rotation direction, such that the third central axis is offset from the fourth central axis in a circumferential direction before inserting and securing the second screw to the shim member and the pocket.

4. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the shim member comprises
a first inclined surface is located between the front side surface and the outer side surface, and
the first inclined surface is inclined away from the rear side surface as going away from the outer side surface.

5. The cutting tool according to claim 4 , wherein the first inclined surface comprises a first portion whose width in a direction parallel to the first central axis becomes larger in a direction from the second end to the first end in a plan view from the front side surface.

6. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the shim member comprises
a second inclined surface located between the front side surface and the inner side surface, and
the second inclined surface is inclined away from the rear side surface as going away from the inner side surface.

7. The cutting tool according to claim 6 , wherein the second inclined surface comprises a second portion whose width in a direction parallel to the first central axis becomes larger in a direction from the first end to the second end in a plan view from the front side surface.

8. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the shim member comprises
a first end surface located between the front side surface and the rear side surface, the first end surface located on a side of the first end, and
a third inclined surface located between the front side surface and the first end surface, and
the third inclined surface is inclined away from the rear side surface as going away from the first end surface.

9. The cutting tool according to claim 8 , wherein the third inclined surface comprises a third portion whose width in a direction orthogonal to the first central axis becomes larger in a direction from the inner side surface to the outer side surface in a plan view from the front side surface.

10. The cutting tool according to claim 1 , wherein the shim member comprises
a second end surface located between the front side surface and the rear side surface, the second end surface located on a side of the second end, and
a fourth inclined surface located between the front side surface and the second end surface, and
the fourth inclined surface is inclined away from the rear side surface as going away from the second end surface.

11. The cutting tool according to claim 10 , wherein the fourth inclined surface comprises a fourth portion whose width in a direction orthogonal to the first central axis becomes larger in a direction from the outer side surface to the inner side surface in a plan view from the front side surface.

12. A method for manufacturing a machined product, comprising:
rotating the cutting tool according to claim 1 ;
bringing the cutting tool being rotated into contact with a workpiece; and
moving the cutting tool away from the workpiece.
