Abstract
Abstract A rotatable or reciprocable material removing tool having multiple cutting edges in which a plurality of cutting elements project from an outer surface of a base member of the tool and in which each cutting element comprises a cutting member composed of a homogeneous mass of crystalline diamond particles or crystalline boron nitride particles or a mixture of both, and a connecting member connecting the cutting member to the surface of the base member. Each cutting member forms at least one cutting edge of predetermined outline and the cutting elements are uniformly distributed on the surface of the base member in such a manner that the cutting edges are spaced from each other.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
In a material removing tool, a combination comprising a base member having an outer surface; and a plurality of cutting elements projecting from said outer surface, each of said cutting elements comprising a plate-shaped portion having a first surface and a plurality of substantially equal projections projecting substantially uniformly spaced from each other from said first surface and each having at least one cutting edge substantially parallel to and spaced from said one cutting edge on the other projections, said plate-shaped portion and said projections thereon being integrally formed from a homogeneous mass of crystalline hard particles of at least one material chosen from the group consisting of crystalline diamond particles and crystalline boron nitride particles, and a connecting member of cemented carbide integral with the surface of said plate-shaped portion opposite said first surface of each cutting element and connecting said cutting elements to said outer surface of said base member unifOrmly distributed on said outer surface with said at least one cutting edge on all projections extending substantially parallel to each other.
