Abstract
Abstract A cutting tool, preferably in the form of a cutting insert of hard material, having a narrow land area or ledge along the cutting edge, forming a shallow recessed groove promoting the formation of a false cutting tip build-up during use of the cutting tool, the cutting tip build-up resulting from the transfer of material from the chip to the ledge surface. The invention further contemplates favoring the formation of cutting tip build-up by providing a plurality of diamond particles embedded in the ledge surface at least at the cutting tip of the tool.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 19
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
In a cutting tool comprising a plate of a single hard material having a bottom surface, a top surface and a peripheral surface whereby said peripheral surface and at least said top surface forms a cutting edge at their junction defining at least one cutting tip, the improvement of a perimetric shallow groove in at least said top surface, said perimetric shallow groove having an edge disposed at said cutting edge and extending radially from said cutting edge at least at said cutting tip for promoting the formation of a false cutting tip build-up during use of said cutting tool, said perimetric shallow groove having a rough surface providing an anchoring surface for said false cutting tip build-up.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
