Abstract

A holder and a cutting tool with the holder including an insertion hole at a front end part thereof, and a cutting insert that includes a cutting edge part and a shank part. The shank part has substantially a rod shape. A part of the shank part is immovably located in the insertion hole. The front end part of the holder includes a first curved surface part that becomes wider from a front end toward a back side when viewed from a side thereof. The first curved surface part includes: a curved line that extends from an edge of an opening of the insertion hole toward the back side; or a straight line that extends from the edge of the opening of the insertion hole and connects to a curved line that extends continuously from the straight line toward the back side without an angular part.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A holder for receiving and fixing a cutting insert, wherein:
the holder comprises an insertion hole at a front end part of the holder;
said front end part comprises;
a first chip control curved surface part that becomes wider from a front end toward a back side when viewed from a side thereof; and
a second chip control surface part that extends outwardly from an entire periphery of the first chip control curved surface part and that is outwardly concave when viewed from a side thereof;
the first chip control curved surface part comprises i) a curved line that extends from an edge of an opening of the insertion hole toward the back side; or ii) a straight line that extends from the edge of the opening of the insertion hole and connects to a curved line that extends continuously from the straight line toward the back side without an angular part.

2. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the holder has substantially a rod-shape; and a width of the straight line of the first chip control curved surface part is a half or less of a maximum width of the holder.

3. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein an outermost shape of the first chip control curved surface part at the front end part is substantially circular when viewed from the front end, and a ratio of a curvature radius of a curved line of the first chip control curved surface part to a radius at the outermost shape of the first curved surface part is 0.2 to 1.

4. The holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a coating layer on at least a surface of the first chip control curved surface part.

5. The holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a third curved surface part disposed on a back side of the first chip control curved surface part.

6. The holder according to claim 1 , wherein the first chip control curved surface part comprises a groove part thereon, and a virtual line extending from the groove part toward an orientation of the groove part at a front end side thereof crosses an axial line of the holder.

7. The holder according to claim 1 , further comprising a coolant hole.

8. The holder according to claim 7 , wherein at least two openings of coolant holes are individually formed and separated from the insertion hole when viewed from the front end, and centers of the at least two openings are located on one and the same side with respect to a center of the opening of the insertion hole.

9. The holder according to claim 7 , wherein the opening of the coolant hole is formed in the first chip control curved surface part.

10. The holder according to claim 7 , wherein a ratio (rs/ri) of a diameter (rs) of the opening of the coolant hole to a diameter (ri) of the opening of the insertion hole is 0.2 to 3.

11. The holder according to claim 7 , wherein a shape of the opening of the coolant hole is a circle, an ellipse, or a shape in which ends of a plurality of circles overlap and are aligned in a line.

12. The holder according to claim 8 , wherein a ratio rd/(ri+rs) is 0.8 to 1.2, where rd is a distance between centers of two coolant holes that are the furthest apart from each other among the at least two coolant holes, ri is a diameter of the opening of the insertion hole, and rs is a diameter of the opening of the coolant hole.

13. A cutting tool comprising:
a holder according to claim 1 ;
a cutting insert comprising:
a shank part having a substantially rod shape, and comprising a first end portion and a second end portion, wherein the first end portion is opposite to the second end portion and located inside the insertion hole; and
a cutting edge part extending from the second end portion and located outside the insertion hole.

14. A cutting tool comprising:
a holder according to claim 12 ;
a cutting insert comprising:
a shank part having a substantially rod shape, and comprising a first end portion and a second portion, wherein the first end portion is opposite to the second end portion and located inside the insertion hole; and
a cutting edge part extending from the second end portion and located outside the insertion hole; wherein
the cutting edge part comprises a cutting edge and a rake face; and the one and same side with respect to the opening of the insertion hole is on the same side with respect to the center of the opening of the insertion hole than the side where the rake face is provided with respect to the center of the opening of the insertion hole.
