Abstract
Abstract A throw away cutting tool comprising a holder formed with a wedge groove and a throw away insert having a cutting edge at one end thereof and a wedge portion at the outer end, the wedge portion being adapted to be clamped in the wedge groove by elasticity of the material of the holder. The holder is at least partly made of cemented carbide for higher rigidity and cutting stability. Also, the radius of curvature at the deep end of the wedge groove is optimized for crack resistance. Further, the angle of the V-ridge on the holder is interrelated to the angle of the V-groove in the insert for more holding stability and crack resistance.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
A throw away cutting tool, comprising: a holder body formed with wedge slot having at least two substantially opposing wedge surfaces; and a throw away insert having a cutting edge at one end thereof and a wedge portion at an end opposite to said cutting edge, wherein said wedge portion is clamped in said wedge slot solely by elasticity of the material of said holder body so that a principal component of a cutting force will be received on one of said at least two substantially opposing wedge surfaces of said wedge slot and a backside component of said cutting force will be received on the other, and wherein said holder body is entirely made of cemented carbide.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
A throw away cutting tool, comprising: a holder body formed with wedge slot having at least two substantially opposing wedge surfaces; and a throw away insert having a cutting edge at one end thereof and a wedge portion at an end opposite to said cutting edge, wherein said wedge portion is clamped in said wedge slot solely by elasticity of the material of said holder body so that a principal component of a cutting force will be received on one of said at least two substantially opposing wedge surfaces of said wedge slot and a backside component of said cutting force will be received on the other, and wherein said holder body is entirely made of cemented carbide.
