Abstract
Abstract A chipbreaking insert for metalcutting is useful for breaking chips over a wide range of speeds and feeds. In light cuts, the chips are broken by a finishing depression adjacent to the cutting corner. In deeper but still moderate cuts, the chips and broken by a chipbreaking groove which is parallel to the cutting edge. In heavy cuts, the chips are corrugated and deflected away from the workpiece by a series of cylindrical chip deflecting grooves spaced along the cutting edge.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
140 words
A tool for cutting chip forming materials having a cutting corner defined by a chipbreaker surface and the intersection of two sidewalls wherein a plurality of chipbreaking depressions is formed in said chipbreaker surface closely proximate to said cutting corner, including; a first chipbreaking depression closely adjacent to and intersecting said cutting corner, having a concave rear chip interrupting surface substantially normal to the bisector plane devined by said sidewalls; and a pair of second chipbreaking depressions located adjacent to said first chipbreaking depression, next adjacent to said cutting corner, each having a conical chip interrupting surface substantially locally parallel to the cutting edge defined by the intersection of its respective sidewall and the chipbreaker surface, each said conical chip interrupting surface being spaced from its respective sidewall by a distance of from about 0.020 inches to about 0.040 inches.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
140 words
A tool for cutting chip forming materials having a cutting corner defined by a chipbreaker surface and the intersection of two sidewalls wherein a plurality of chipbreaking depressions is formed in said chipbreaker surface closely proximate to said cutting corner, including; a first chipbreaking depression closely adjacent to and intersecting said cutting corner, having a concave rear chip interrupting surface substantially normal to the bisector plane devined by said sidewalls; and a pair of second chipbreaking depressions located adjacent to said first chipbreaking depression, next adjacent to said cutting corner, each having a conical chip interrupting surface substantially locally parallel to the cutting edge defined by the intersection of its respective sidewall and the chipbreaker surface, each said conical chip interrupting surface being spaced from its respective sidewall by a distance of from about 0.020 inches to about 0.040 inches.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
53 words
The tool of claim 1, wherein a further plurality of chipbreaking depressions are formed into the chipbreaking surface, including a plurality of cylindrical chip corrugating and directing depressions spaced along the intersection of each sidewall and the chipbreaker surface, the longitudinal axis of these depressions intersecting the cutting edge at an acute angle.
