METAL CUTTING BLADE AND PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURE THEREOF

摘要

A hard metal cutting blade comprises a blade body having front and rear faces. The blade body is meant for engagement to a tool head and for rotation about a rotation axis. The blade is moved in a feed direction for the fine machining of bores that extend parallel to the rotation axis. The front face of the blade includes a recessed chip face which defines a cutting edge that has a main blade that is followed by a secondary blade. The main blade is divided into two regions, a first region that is almost flush or slightly inclined with respect to the secondary blade, and a second region which inclines at a greater angle and is spaced further from the secondary blade. An abrasion-resistant hard material coats the blade body. This material is ground away from the chip face, at least in the area of the secondary blade, to provide a radius of no more than 5 mu m for the edge of the secondary blade.
