Abstract

A cutting insert according to an embodiment of the present invention is a double-sided cutting insert comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface, a cutting edge, and a mounting hole penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface, in which the upper surface is provided with a single upper surface boss portion that surrounds the mounting hole and is flat, the cutting edge includes a main cutting edge, a corner cutting edge extending from the main cutting edge, a sub-cutting edge extending from the corner cutting edge, and a side portion extending from the sub-cutting edge, a first main cutting edge flank surface extending from the main cutting edge forms an acute angle with an extension line of the upper surface boss portion, a sub-cutting edge chip breaker surface extending from the sub-cutting edge is at a gradually increasing angle with the extension line of the upper surface boss portion, as the sub-cutting edge chip breaker surface is distanced away from the corner cutting edge, and when the cutting insert is viewed into the upper surface, a side portion surface extending from the side portion is concavely recessed.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A double-sided cutting insert comprising an upper surface, a lower surface, a side surface, a cutting edge, and a mounting hole penetrating the upper surface and the lower surface, wherein
the upper surface is provided with a single upper surface boss portion that surrounds the mounting hole and is flat,
the cutting edge includes a main cutting edge, a corner cutting edge extending from the main cutting edge, a sub-cutting edge extending from the corner cutting edge, and a side portion extending from the sub-cutting edge,
a first main cutting edge flank surface extending from the main cutting edge forms an acute angle with an extension line of the upper surface boss portion,
a sub-cutting edge chip breaker surface extending from the sub-cutting edge is at a gradually increasing angle with the extension line of the upper surface boss portion, as the sub-cutting edge chip breaker surface is distanced away from the corner cutting edge, and
when the cutting insert is viewed into the upper surface, a side portion surface extending from the side portion is concavely recessed.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a main cutting edge chip breaker surface of the main cutting edge is at a gradually decreasing angle with the extension line of the upper surface boss portion, as the main cutting edge chip breaker surface is distanced away from the corner cutting edge.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein a sub-cutting edge flank surface of the sub-cutting edge forms a right angle with the extension line of the upper surface boss portion, and
an angle formed by a corner cutting edge flank surface of the corner cutting edge and the extension line of the upper surface boss portion varies along the corner cutting edge.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein, when the cutting insert is viewed into the side surface,
the main cutting edge is inclined downward in a direction away from the corner cutting edge, and
the upper surface boss portion is not higher than a lowest part of the main cutting edge.

5. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein, when the cutting insert is viewed into the side surface,
the sub-cutting edge is inclined downward in a direction away from the corner cutting edge, and the side portion extending from the sub-cutting edge forms a concave curve in a direction of the lower surface.

6. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein the cutting insert is 180° rotationally symmetric about a first central axis passing through a center of the mounting hole, and
is 180° rotationally symmetric about a second central axis passing through a center of the side surface.

7. A cutting tool equipped with the cutting insert according to claim 1 , the cutting tool comprising:
a main body including a flange portion and a front end portion;
a plurality of insert mounting portions protruding radially from the main body, spaced apart from each other at predetermined intervals, and having a seat portion on which the cutting insert is mounted, wherein,
when the cutting tool is viewed into a side,
upper surfaces of the plurality of insert mounting portions are concavely formed in a curved surface.
