Abstract
Abstract A cutting insert formed of a hard wear resistant material and having a narrow land area along the cutting edge and an inclined wall leading downwardly and inwardly from the inner edge of the land area and a planar wall extending inwardly from the lower edge of the inclined wall. The insert is free of any rising "chip groove," per se, and is free of any wall spaced inwardly from the cutting edge and serving as a chip breaker or chip controller.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
280 words
A molded insert for use in removing metal chips from a workpiece and comprising; cutting edge means, a land area, descending wall means and a planar floor means; said insert having a polygonal shape comprising a side edge and a corner when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said cutting edge means; said cutting edge means having at least two angularly related cutting edges defining a plane substantially parallel to said planar floor means and said cutting edge means extending around at least one corner of said insert; said land area extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from said cutting edge means and at an angle ranging from parallel to 10 degrees of parallel with said planar floor means; and said land area being narrower around the corner of said insert than along the side edges; said descending wall means beginning at the inner edge of said land area and extending inwardly and downwardly at an angle of no less than 15 degrees from a plane parallel with said planar floor means and being inclined to the plane of said cutting edges when viewed in side and making a greater included angle with said plane at said corner of said body than along said side edges thereof; said planar floor means extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from the bottom of said descending wall means; the perpendicular distance from the plane containing said cutting edge means to the planar floor means being in the range of from 0.001 to 0.010 inch and said land area being from 0.005 to 0.030 inch in width, and a central island area located on said planar floor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
280 words
A molded insert for use in removing metal chips from a workpiece and comprising; cutting edge means, a land area, descending wall means and a planar floor means; said insert having a polygonal shape comprising a side edge and a corner when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said cutting edge means; said cutting edge means having at least two angularly related cutting edges defining a plane substantially parallel to said planar floor means and said cutting edge means extending around at least one corner of said insert; said land area extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from said cutting edge means and at an angle ranging from parallel to 10 degrees of parallel with said planar floor means; and said land area being narrower around the corner of said insert than along the side edges; said descending wall means beginning at the inner edge of said land area and extending inwardly and downwardly at an angle of no less than 15 degrees from a plane parallel with said planar floor means and being inclined to the plane of said cutting edges when viewed in side and making a greater included angle with said plane at said corner of said body than along said side edges thereof; said planar floor means extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from the bottom of said descending wall means; the perpendicular distance from the plane containing said cutting edge means to the planar floor means being in the range of from 0.001 to 0.010 inch and said land area being from 0.005 to 0.030 inch in width, and a central island area located on said planar floor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
313 words
A molded insert for removing chips from a workpiece and comprising; cutting edge means, a land area, descending wall means and a planar floor means; said insert having a polygonal shape comprising a side edge and a corner when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said cutting edge means; said cutting edge means having at least two angularly related cutting edges defining a plane substantially parallel to said planar floor means and said cutting edge means extending around at least one corner of said insert; said land area extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from said cutting edge means and at an angle ranging from parallel to 10 degrees from parallel with said planar floor means; and said land area being narrower around the corner of said insert than along the side edges; said descending wall means beginning at the inner edge of said land area and at least the portion thereof which is adjacent said land area extending inwardly and downwardly at an angle of no less than 15 degrees from a plane parallel with said planar floor means and being inclined to the plane of said cutting edges when viewed in side and making a greater included angle with said plane at said corner of said body than along said side edges thereof; said planar floor means extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from the bottom of said descending wall means; the perpendicular distance from the plane containing said cutting edge means to the planar floor means being less than the width of said land area and the inner edge of said land area spaced from the cutting edge means so that a metal chip being removed from the workpiece can travel immediately downwardly from said inner edge and slidingly engage said floor means, and a central island area located on said planar floor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
313 words
A molded insert for removing chips from a workpiece and comprising; cutting edge means, a land area, descending wall means and a planar floor means; said insert having a polygonal shape comprising a side edge and a corner when viewed in a direction perpendicular to the plane of said cutting edge means; said cutting edge means having at least two angularly related cutting edges defining a plane substantially parallel to said planar floor means and said cutting edge means extending around at least one corner of said insert; said land area extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from said cutting edge means and at an angle ranging from parallel to 10 degrees from parallel with said planar floor means; and said land area being narrower around the corner of said insert than along the side edges; said descending wall means beginning at the inner edge of said land area and at least the portion thereof which is adjacent said land area extending inwardly and downwardly at an angle of no less than 15 degrees from a plane parallel with said planar floor means and being inclined to the plane of said cutting edges when viewed in side and making a greater included angle with said plane at said corner of said body than along said side edges thereof; said planar floor means extending inwardly toward the center of said tool from the bottom of said descending wall means; the perpendicular distance from the plane containing said cutting edge means to the planar floor means being less than the width of said land area and the inner edge of said land area spaced from the cutting edge means so that a metal chip being removed from the workpiece can travel immediately downwardly from said inner edge and slidingly engage said floor means, and a central island area located on said planar floor.
