A cutter includes: a cutter main body rotated; and cutting edges disposed on an outer periphery of a front of the cutter main body, wherein a mounting hole penetrating through the cutter main body is formed, an opening portion opening in a front of the cutter main body, a housing portion provided on a rear of the opening portion to house a head portion of a headed bolt, and a female thread portion are formed in the mounting hole, a mounting part including a male thread portion in an outer periphery is mounted to the female thread portion, the male thread portion screwable to the female thread portion, and a through hole having a smaller inner diameter than the head portion is formed in the mounting part.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cutter comprising: a cutter main body configured to be rotated around an axis; and cutting edges disposed on an outer periphery of a front portion of the cutter main body, wherein a mounting hole is formed in a central portion of the cutter main body, the mounting hole penetrating through the cutter main body along the axis, the mounting hole includes: an opening portion that is open in a front end of the cutter main body, a housing portion that is provided on a rear end side of the opening portion to house a head portion of a headed bolt, and a female thread portion of which an inner peripheral portion is threaded, an inner diameter of the opening portion is smaller than an inner diameter of the housing portion and an outer diameter of the head portion, a mounting part including a male thread portion in an outer peripheral portion thereof is mounted to the female thread portion, the male thread portion being configured to be screwable to the female thread portion, and a through hole is formed in the mounting part, the through hole being configured such that the thread portion of the headed bolt can be inserted therein in a state where the head portion is housed in the housing portion and having a smaller inner diameter than the head portion. 2. The cutter according to claim 1 , wherein the mounting part is provided with a flat surface portion parallel to the axis, and an anti-rotation screw, which comes into contact with the flat surface portion, is screwed into the cutter main body. 3. The cutter according to claim 1 , wherein an entirety of the mounting part is housed in the mounting hole, and a portion of the mounting hole on a rear end side of the mounting part is an insertion portion into which a front protruding portion provided in a front portion of an arbor is inserted. 4. The cutter according to claim 3 , wherein the female thread portion of the mounting hole and the male thread portion of the mounting part have a thread pitch smaller than a thread pitch of the thread portion of the headed bolt, or are screwed in a direction opposite to a direction in which the thread portion of the headed bolt is screwed. 5. The cutter according to claim 1 , wherein an outer peripheral portion of a rear end of the mounting part is formed in a flange shape which projects to a rear end surface of the cutter main body, an inner peripheral portion of the rear end of the mounting part is an insertion portion which communicates with the through hole and into which a front protruding portion of an arbor is inserted, and the male thread portion is provided on an outer peripheral side of the insertion portion. 6. The cutter according to claim 5 , wherein the female thread portion of the mounting hole and the male thread portion of the mounting part are screwed in the same direction as a rotation direction of the cutter main body during cutting, toward a rear end side in a direction of the axis. 7. A cutter comprising: a cutter main body configured to be rotated around an axis; and cutting edges disposed on an outer periphery of a front portion of the cutter main body, wherein a mounting hole is formed in a central portion of the cutter main body, the mounting hole penetrating through the cutter main body along the axis, the mounting hole includes: an opening portion that is open in a front end of the cutter main body, a housing portion that is provided on a rear end side of the opening portion to house a head portion of a headed bolt, and a female thread portion of which an inner peripheral portion is threaded, a mounting part including a male thread portion in an outer peripheral portion is mounted to the female thread portion, the male thread portion being configured to be screwable to the female thread portion, a through hole is formed in the mounting part, the through hole being configured so the thread portion of the headed bolt can be inserted therein in a state where the head portion is housed in the housing portion and having a smaller inner diameter than the head portion, the mounting part is provided with a flat surface portion parallel to the axis, and an anti-rotation screw which comes into contact with the flat surface portion is screwed into the cutter main body. 8. The cutter according to claim 7 , wherein an entirety of the mounting part is housed in the mounting hole, and a portion of the mounting hole on a rear end side of the mounting part is an insertion portion into which a front protruding portion provided in a front portion of an arbor is inserted. 9. The cutter according to claim 8 , wherein the female thread portion of the mounting hole and the male thread portion of the mounting part have a thread pitch smaller than a thread pitch of the thread portion of the headed bolt, or are screwed in a direction opposite to a direction in which the thread portion of the headed bolt is screwed.
