CUTTING TOOL HAVING TEXTURED CUTTING SURFACE

摘要

Textured indentations in the cutting surface of the core of a cutting tool are designed to accommodate a single layer of superabrasive grain. The superabrasive grain contained in these textured indentations is thereby oriented during metal bond brazing such that a pointed end of the superabrasive grain is oriented outward from the plane of the cutting surface of the core. Enhanced bond life, cutting performance and tool life are achieved.
