Cutting tool.

摘要

The present invention concerns to a clamped cutting tool used in the metalworking field. The clamped cutting tool includes a tool-holder , a shim member (84) placed on the tool-holder, a cutting insert (82) placed on the shim member (84), and a locking pin (94) held in engagement with the tool-holder for clamping the cutting insert (82). The tool-holder includes a forward end portion (74) having an insert receiving recess (80) formed therein, the recess (80) having a bottom wall (83) and at least one side wall (85) extending upwardly from the bottom wall (83), the bottom wall (83) including a pin-receiving hole (86) of a circular cross-section formed therein so as to extend downwardly. The shim member (84) has a bore (87) of a circular cross-section formed therethrough, the shim member (84) being disposed on the bottom wall (83) of the recess (80) in such a manner that the bore (87) communicates with the pin-receiving hole (86) of the tool-holder. The cutting insert (82) has an aperture (92) of a circular cross-section formed therethrough, the insert (82) being disposed on the shim member (84) in such a manner that the aperture (92) communicates with the bore (87) of the shim member (84). The locking pin (94) of a circular cross-section for clamping the cutting insert (82) in the tool-holder, the locking pin (94) having a rod portion (96), a head portion (102), and a radially outwardly protruding flange portion (98) disposed between the rod portion (96) and the head portion (102), the pin (94) being inserted through the aperture (92) of the cutting insert (82) and the bore (87) of the shim member (84) into the pin-receiving hole (86) of the tool-holder for rotation, with the rod portion (96) and the flange portion (98) being received in the pin-receiving hole (86) of the tool-holder and the bore (87) of the shim member (84), respectively. The head portion (102) is held in abutting engagement with the aperture (92) of the cutting insert (82) to press the insert (82) against the side wall (85) of the holder. The clamped cutting tool characterized in that: the bore (87) is concentric to the pin-receiving hole (86) of the tool-holder ; the locking pin (94) being formed so that the flange portion (98) is concentric to the rod portion (96) while the head portion (102) is eccentric to the flange portion (98).
