PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cutting tap for cutting an internal thread of a material.SOLUTION: The cutting tap includes an elongate tap body (22) with a fluted section (30) at the axial forward end (24) thereof wherein the fluted section (30) includes a chamfered fluted section (54) and a finishing fluted section (56). Each cutting thread (58, 62, 66, 68) in the chamfered fluted section (54) has a cutting face (72, 76, 80) disposed at a cutting face angle that becomes more negative the more axially rearward the cutting thread (58, 62, 66, 68) is from the axial forward end (24) of the chamfered fluted section (54). Each cutting thread (58, 62, 66, 68) in the finishing fluted section (56) has a cutting face (72, 76, 80) disposed at a finishing cutting face angle that is essentially equal. The finishing cutting face angle is more negative than the cutting face angle for the cutting thread at the axial rearward termination of the chamfered fluted section (54).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide strengthened lubrication in an insert-chip boundary surface.SOLUTION: A cutting insert assembly (40) includes a cutting insert body (190) that presents at least two discrete cutting locations (230, 232). The cutting insert body (190) contains a coolant entry passage (202) aligned with the pocket opening for a coolant to flow through the coolant entry passage. The cutting insert body (190) has a rake surface (192) that contains at least two of the discrete recesses (230, 232) where one of the discrete recesses corresponds to one of the cutting locations. The assembly (40) includes a diverter that is positioned adjacent to the cutting insert body (190) where the diverter (250) has a receiving opening aligned with the coolant entry passage (202) to receive the coolant through the coolant entry passage.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tool for turn/turn broaching or external milling.SOLUTION: The tool for turn/turn broaching or external milling of a workpiece is disclosed. The tool includes a disk-shaped broaching wheel (2) or at least one segment (1) of such a broach wheel (2). At least one cutting-tip holding fixtures (8, 10) for a cutting tip is provided on the end faces (6, 7) of the broaching wheel (2) or the segment (1) in a region where the cutting-tip holding fixture is adjacent to the circumferential surface (3) of the broaching wheel (2) or the segment (1). On at least one of the end face (6) of the two end faces, the cutting-tip holding fixture (8) is formed in a cartridge (11) which is axially adjustable with respect to the broaching wheel (2) or segment (1) by using an axial clamping wedge (13). In this case, the cartridge (11) is designed in such a way that it at least partially covers the axial clamping wedge (13) in a direction toward the circumferential surface (3).

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a cutting insert that is securely held within an insert pocket of a cutter body, and readily replaceable.SOLUTION: The cutting insert (10) includes: a top surface (12) including a substantially planar central portion (48); a substantially planar bottom surface (14); and a plurality of side surfaces (16, 18, 30, 22). Long cutting edge, (24, 26), corner radius cutting edges (28, 30), facet radius cutting edges (32, 34), and ramping cutting edges (36, 38) are defined at an intersection between the top surface (12) and one of the side surfaces. Margins (87, 89) extend around a nose radius of the cutting insert (10) and are mixed into a flat surface (94, 96). A margin angle C formed of the margins is smaller than a seating angle B formed of the flat surfaces. The top surface includes a plurality of upward sloping radius mixtures extending between the substantially planar central portion and a plurality of upward sloping rake faces extending between the respective radius mixtures.
