Abstract

A cutting insert may include a first surface, a second surface, a third surface, and a land surface. The first surface may include a first corner and a first side. The land surface may be located between the first surface and the third surface. The land surface may include a first land surface connecting to the first corner, and a second land surface connecting to the first side. A width of the first land surface in a front view as viewed from a side of the first surface may be a first width, the first width at an end portion on a side of the second land surface may be larger than the width at a part connecting to a midportion of the first corner.

Claims (37)

1. A cutting insert, comprising:

a first surface having a polygonal shape and comprising a first corner and a first side extended from the first corner;

a second surface located on a side opposite to the first surface;

a third surface located between the first surface and the second surface; and

a land surface located between the first surface and the third surface, wherein

the land surface comprises:

a first land surface connecting to the first corner, and

a second land surface connecting to the first side and abutting the first land surface;

the first land surface comprises:

a midportion, and

a first end portion located at a side of the second land surface;

the first land surface has a first width in a front view of the first surface;

the first width at the first end portion is larger than the first width at the midportion;

the first land surface has a first height in a side view of the first land surface;

the first height at the midportion is larger than the first height at the first end portion;

the second land surface has a second width in the front view of the first surface;

the second land surface comprises a part where the second width becomes smaller going away from the first land surface and a part where the second width is constant, or the second width only becomes smaller going away form the first land surface;

a ridge line where the first surface intersects with the first land surface is a convex curvilinear arc in which a second radius of curvature at the midportion of the first land surface is smaller than a third radius of curvature at the first end portion in the front view of the first surface;

the ridge line where the first surface intersects with the first land surface and the second land surface is without a concave section;

the first surface further comprises a second side extending from the first corner;

the land surface further comprises a third land surface connecting to the second side;

the first land surface further comprises a second end portion located at a side of the third land surface; and

the first width at the second end portion is larger than the first width at the midportion.

2. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

the first land surface further comprises a part where the first width becomes larger approaching the first end portion from the midportion in the front view of the first surface.

3. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

a ridge line where the third surface intersects with the first land surface has a circular arc shape in which a first radius of curvature is constant in the front view of the first surface.

4. The cutting insert according to claim 1 , wherein

the third land surface has a third width in the front view of the first surface, and

the third land surface comprises a part where the third width becomes smaller going away from the first land surface.

5. A cutting tool, comprising:

a holder comprising a pocket located on a side of a front end of the holder; and

the cutting insert according to claim 1 , the cutting insert being located in the pocket.

6. A method for manufacturing a machined product, comprising:

rotating a workpiece;

bringing the cutting tool according to claim 5 into contact with the workpiece being rotated; and

moving the cutting tool away from the workpiece.
